The ratios were most likely used so there would be enough food for most of the people, not because it would really follow the ideology :P Why China isn't a communist country: * Currently somewhat free marketing. * Is it stateless social organization? Np. * Are all totally free there? No with their current censor laws, attacks against wrong thinking people and so on. * No real leader There are few points. You can google more. Also the statement of 1 party is wrong. It's the only party that has real power, but not the only existing party. Before you start filling us with your chinese propaganda, read even something about the differences of communism and socialism. After that you could study a bit of marxism, leninism, stalinism and even maoism. After that you could read about the radical rightwing parties and their differences. In the end you could study the history and see which side has caused more casualties. edit: And to point out one thing: I'm against commnunism for 1 reason: It would be a beautiful thing which we would be a great thing for mankind. However as long as there's greedy people, we can only dream of it. In our hands it turns from a paradise to hell. In wrong hands it has been too deadly. It just is too good for us. what? i didnt use any propaganda and i didnt talk about socialism here
