Tankies when you tell them state ownership shouldn't be the goal of socialism 😡🤬

Tankies approving of capitalist exploitation when China does it. 🤓☝️

Like, state ownership isn't automatically bad. I believe that nationalization is often a progressive development that improves the lives of the people.

But nationalization in and of itself isn't socialist. Otherwise, we would include Metternich, Bernstein, and Bismarck as among the great theorists of socialism!

The ultimate demand of socialists should be "social ownership and worker control of the means of production". Nationalisation partially fulfills the first step of the demand while neglecting the second step.
