It’s about time I debunked this. This meme is extremely wrong on almost every point. I am going to address the actual points and then address whether or not China is socialist 🧵
"All land and natural resources in China are owned by the Communist Party of China (with the exception of some farmland; which is owned collectively). Land in China can only be leased, not owned."
This is technically accurate. Under China's Constitution (Article 10) and Property Law, urban land is state-owned, while rural/suburban land is typically owned by collectives.
However, ownership on paper does not mean everything. In Nazi Germany, factories were “private” on paper, while the government controlled all aspects of production. This was something called “de facto socialism”. China has the opposite in many areas. Land is “owned” by the state on paper, but private owners are able to make many free decisions for their own profit. We will get back to this.

I want to address the most common right-wing critique of capitalism. A lot of people say capitalism destroys morality, hollows out our human connections, and pits prosperity against culture. They argue that you can either have a rich society or a virtuous one, but not both.
This is the deterioration hypothesis: Markets may make us richer, but they also make up morally colder. They ruin relationships and social cohesion overall.

Weirdo communists love to cite this article as evidence that the Holodomor never happened. Let’s debunk it point-by-point. 🧵
“the Holodomor hoax of 1932-33… was invented by the West in close cooperation with Nazi Germany and pro-Nazi Ukrainian nationalists”
This is sheer propaganda. In reality millions died in the 1932–33 famine, a tragedy now well‑documented by archives. Leading scholars agree Stalin’s requisition orders and blockades caused the famine (Applebaum 2017; Kulchytsky 2018). It was not a Western “invention”. Every credible study finds the famine was real, not a manufactured myth.
