    a very large state sector

    socialism doesnt have much to do with how big the state is, and aims ultimately to end it. thats a very common strawman for comparing apples to oranges though.

    By and large colonialism has been a net economical loss for France.

    ahahahahahahahahahahaha what the fuck. try to find out what european interests are doing to africa if you want to have a peek at actually real imperialism and genocide, happening right now. nothing about history here, this is still the present.

    i was actually going to engage further but you are either trolling or need to seriously humble yourself and leave the bubble you are in, because the stuff you are saying is comically nonfactual.

      I never claimed it did. I was comparing France and China. Both have a large state sector, and both have capitalist economies. Again, please, have a look at the number of Chinese billionaires you don’t get there without capital accumulation.

      try to find out what european interests are doing to africa if you want to have a peek at actually real imperialism and genocide,

      “It’s only imperialism and genocide if it’s profitable”, is that what you’re saying?
