Oh, sorry. I take these things for granted sometimes. I don't know how familiar communists overseas are with the systems here. I live in a nominally Communist country (Vietnam).
The Communist Party issues a 5-year plan (it does this... every 5 years!). It details what the planned economy will be doing over the next 5 years: goals, targets, and so on. So, you can get on board and set up a private enterprise to help achieve those things -- private enterprise licenses are permitted in accordance with various regulations. Sometimes you can get land or buildings allocated to help you get started, although I'm not nearly important enough for that kind of thing. I just got a business license.
Anyway, committing to what the Party was telling us to do turned out pretty OK for me!
sorry for the confusion, comrade! Have a great day!
No worries!
Incidentally, if you ever have any questions about life here, fire away!
On my end, I know very little about modern Communism-with-a-capital-C. I mostly just know how to navigate the bureaucracy. Which is generally not as bad a people say.
