If you want to blame a country’s policies do that. Leave socialism out of it.

The point is that they're missing the point, much like you did. China isn't socialist, or communist for that matter; tankies just like to pretend.

Fair. I wasn’t going to start an ideological conversation about it because it’s been a day at work. Didn’t catch the sarcasm in the post, I took it at face value.

The point of this is mocking people who think China is socialist because China calls itself socialist.

Leave socialism out of it.

All I ask is that tankies also leave socialism out of it when discussing China, rather than pretending it's an example of socialist perfection on earth.
