Sure, you can see it that way and I wouldn’t even argue it’s illogical. But the way socialism was taught in GDR is the definition I gave above and China is not socialist under that definition.

That’s easy: private ownership of means of production is not socialist.

I will even include another non socialist fact : China has billionaires (in US$). Those should not exist in a socialist country.

Wait, just to confirm: you really believe that signing a pact to partition Poland isn’t a sign that in fact Poland will be invaded?

And why did generous general Stalin agree to that whole spheres of influence thing in the first place? If he wanted to protect poor Poland from the evil Germanz, surely telling the world about Hitler’s evil plans would have been even better? Or at least warning Poland.

But hm, strange, nothing of the sort was done. One could get the impression generous general Stalin didn’t care for the plight of the common polish citizen that was just to be unleashed on them.

It’s not so much the non aggression part that people have a problem with, it’s more the let’s together invade Poland and hold a celebratory victory parade after that normal people find not so nice.
