This internet version of centrism that everyone hates on is bizarre to me, for the reasons you say - the “only commit half a genocide” type of centrism. Are there people who really strike a middle ground on every issue on principle?

That’s not a principle, it’s just a rhetoric. Like when people demonstrated in Charlottesville : one side wanted to get rid of a slavers statue while the other side run a car through the crowd. Then Trump took a “centrist” position and said that there was some very fine people on both side, which was just a way to defend his side

They have private companies and a market economy, how is that a communist economy exactly ?

If your only argument for saying they’re communist is because they said so, then you must also believe that north korea is a democracy right ?

I’ve been looking at this for 30 minutes expecting to see james bond
