If you can distinctly disagree with it then it’s not word salad. You’re just pulling insults from a hat.
The comparison between shmucks-in-charge is crystal clear. No CEO plans and runs an entire company. They have layers of people under them. They are still in charge. They pick those planners, and tell them what to do, in broad terms.
Your argument against this is that the state only has half the economy… and even that is undercut by acknowledging they “heavily plan” the other half.
No, my argument is that framing Xi as a CEO is nonsense. I disagree with the framing as it isn’t accurate.
That’s not an argument. That’s a conclusion. The argument is the “why” part. Why is not not accurate?
You tried arguing why, and missed. That’s what all the stuff about layers of planners is about. If those are the actual reasons you reached this conclusion, it should change.
