Quote: No, EU is the world's largest economy, followed by the US and then China whose economy is still about half the US one. And by GDP per capita, HDI, and everything else they're still on the low-end of the developing countries. And there's no growing Maoist movement, on the contrary.

What does that have to do with anything i said? No doubt that one day China will indeed be the world's biggest economy but nowadays that isn't the case.

I think he was referring to purchasing power parity. There was an article a few months ago that said that China was about to become the world's largest economy using this measurement.
It's largest in relative terms, in terms of how many goods can be bought, not how much absolute "wealth" they produce.

Is a regime that calls itself communist attains world domination, does this means that we have comunism ?
Or by communist world domination you mean a world free from private ownership of the means of production ? Because if you mean that, communism was never close to world domination.

Not to be a stickler, but since Communism has never been attained, I'd say it's never been close to dominating the world. All the world has seen is a deformed fascistic version of Socialism.
