Historically when it comes to stock market crashes, a foreign market will have a smaller correction some time immediately before a larger and more serious correction in the United States.

The NEP was characterized as state capitalist to differentiate it against the lower stage communist stage that was supposed to come afterwards. Lower stage communism was a particular definition for socialism used by Lenin.

Lenin would not consider the “Socialist Market Economy” to not be “socialism proper” i.e, not lower stage communist. However, he may consider the SME to be socialist in the same way that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was during the NEP… that is, aspirationally socialist (willingness to realize Communism) or a proletarian dictatorship.

Has the KKE made involvement with mass organizations part of their strategy? In particular, mass organizations other than unions?

One million workers are about 1/10th of the population in Greece… that’s a lot of people. How has the KKE been doing in terms of elevating the ideologically intermediate to the advanced?

Sounds like someone needs to read up on the Maoist idea of the “mass line”. This theory serves as a Marxist justification for why organized participatory democracy is rational and productive.

Quantitative change will eventually transform into qualitative change. As in, this rapid development of the scientific capacity of the Chinese economy will eventually lead to a new economic stage which we’ve never experienced before. It seems to me that China will be able to fully realize the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The United States government massages the accounting behind it’s unemployment rate to cover up chronic underemployment. Yet you feel like you have the right to say other countries lie about their statistics? That’s textbook projection.

I have no empirical evidence to back this up, but the answer probably lies in the fact that socialist development consciously attempts to preserve social cohesion and promote pro-social behavior. In concrete terms, it’s generally easier to find community in socialist countries than in capitalist ones.
