They usually cut costs in unnoticeable for regular consumer way. Like include some chemistry that easy to produce and makes it tasty, but bad for health.

You are right, I said it wrong.

They mostly ban for being a tankie.

seems like the post got removed from lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/comment/11606059

I edited my comment. Looks like they banned the user, this is why the post is missing. And it’s kinda unfortunate :(

Didn’t know! Were there any responses from the .ml admins?

I also noticed that this post is not available on lemmy.ml, apparently they banned the post. Looks like they banned the OP from the instance.

It looks like admins from .ml ban people who write bad things about CCP and .world admins ban people who can write bad things about US imperialism. They both think that they fight trolls and usually it’s the case.

For example, the banned OP wrote something like “Why, to ban criticism about China more actively?” in https://feddit.nl/comment/10140068 (6 days ago, while the post was created 9 month ago!) which is definitely not okay behavior.

Why did half the world decide SMS needed to be replaced with a proprietary app

SMS is even worse in terms of openness. You won’t find a modem that runs open source baseband firmware. It’s because the radios are subject to several regulations which means customers can’t be able to modify that firmware.

There is VCMI. It’s an open source re-implementation for the modern hardware.

That’s how I understand it, but why rich people may want to pay huge taxes?

Usually they try to avoid them as much as possible. I mean if capitalists run the country they could reduce them.

But in both cases capitalists run the government. Why with social democracy they still have good social programs while in capitalism they tend to reduce them? I doubt that with social democracy they have more generous capitalist, it’s should be something else.

Always wondered how it works. Anyone know what is the difference between social democracy and classic capitalism aside good social programs and taxes?

Interesting, thank you! I’m a little jealous of our Asian brothers. I wish we could have a similar country, but with more western culture.

I’m learning the material and I have a few questions.

You say that in China the capitalists do not run the government. But how do you know that they do not have their own business or are not affiliated with the capitalists? For example, in my country there is a law that does not allow deputies and the president to have their own business. But it does not work, these people simply register the business for other persons and, in fact, continue to own the business.

How China got out of poverty is amazing. But I also heard that the workers were very heavily exploited. This is one of the reasons why the US moved production there. And even now, workers in China are paid little despite the fact that the country is rich. How can this happen in a socialist country that should protect the interests of the workers?

As for the Nordic model, you said that it is not exactly socialism: it is capitalism, but with tough rules for business and good social programs. So they more centric then leftists really. And I don’t argue with that. But I don’t understand why if the capitalists run the country, they simply won’t loosen laws to make business easier and reduce social programs? How has this system not collapsed yet?

Sorry if some of the questions seem stupid, I’m just trying to how this all works.

Will take a look, thank you!

Thank you, this does makes sense!

You previously mentioned China. And China do have big companies like NetEase. Are such companies under a mix of public and cooperative ownershiprs? How it differs from IKEA? Not arguing, just trying to understand.

Does countries of Nordic model count? I heard good things about them.
