i think we might be agreeing, a bit capitalisty is the same as, capitalist to a certain degree

or maybe you would say it the other way - they are communist to a certain degree

I think it's important to separate the notion that sectors of an economy can be "communist/socialist" and others "capitalist," as these are not static elements in a vacuum, but interrelated and moving parts of a whole. This is why Marx put so much of an emphasis on Dialectical Materialism, it is critical for understanding Political Economy in the Marxist sense.

yeah i was talking about the whole connected economy being capitalist to a certain degree

But what does that mean? Are you saying a single instance of private property is Capitalist? I think we are not really speaking with the same understanding of basic terms, which is driving confusion.

It's the drop rule but for capitalism

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's always the one drop rule... haven't seen it flipped before, though

All Socialist countries have had different forms of property ownership than public, though always in a manner that does not hold power over the economy. The PRC has its private sector dominated by small firms and cooperatives, as well as sole proprietorships, while the large firms and key industries are squarely in the public sector.

that sounds very much like the UK in the 70s, which you could describe as a bit capitalisty?
