You wouldn’t be getting any tv shows or movies. You’d be getting YouTube style stuff……like you do now.
People put shows and movies on YouTube already. You’re just not getting corporate backed media on there.
I’m not sure what role you believe capitalists have in creating media, but it’s clearly disproportionate.
You think you’d be getting Avengers: Doomsday in a socialist/communist world?
Tv shows and movies wouldn’t be being created in that world, that’s the point you don’t seem to get.
How do you figure? China has been putting out some of the best big budget stuff in the world this past decade (games & movies), and AI is lowering the barrier to entry for special effects for low budget stuff.
China isn’t pure communism, it’s a unique mix of communism and capitalism.
They’re literally executing billionaires.

And? That doesn’t mean they’re not a unique mix of communism and capitalism. Do you even know what those words mean?
Do you? The existence of markets does not make a country capitalist. Concentration of wealth and control of resources makes a country capitalist, and the party/people control the resources and profit allocation.
Do you think China has zero capitalism at all?
Showing your ignorance again. Capitalism is not the existence of markets. It describes the concentration of wealth and control of resources to extract profit.
Even the smallest bit of research would show you that China is considered a mix of capitalism and communism by…….well, everyone who knows what they’re talking about.
I have done my research. I’m positive I’ve read more theory than you, since you seem to think selling things makes you a capitalist. The education system failed you.
That’s not what I think. I guess all the top economists are also wrong, but you’re right lol
Yes, most of the “top economists” are simply those who best regurgitate capitalist propaganda.
I don’t know what to tell you. Everyone with any knowledge about the world knows that China is a mix of communism and capitalism.
No, just people who swallow western propaganda without question.
