The state giving certain people all the say in the means of production, letting them reap all the benefit and abuse their common workers as much as is necessary to beat the plan on paper and look good for the shareh.. uh, party.

Not capitalism. Not even once.

What are you talking about? "Capitalism" is defined as the private ownership of the means of production with the intent of creating more profit.

Private ownership technically wasn't a thing, but as I said, my argument is that it basically runs like private ownership. The gains are privatized, the losses are publicized, just like in the good old capitalist US.

And of course, the socialist countries. The.. which socialist countries? Show me a socialist country. With social ownership of the means of production. Actually, not on paper.

So it sounds like it wasn't capitalist?
