Advertising on a product I own is not conducive with me owning the product, but with me renting it. It’s not communism, but it is me not owning something I thought I own.
Just a heads up, CCP has some racist connotations to it. The party’s official abbreviation is CPC. I literally only learned this a few months ago, so just letting you know.
I didn’t know that. I used ccp, because it was in the wiki article you linked. That’s good to know!
The Land Reform Movement, also known by the Chinese abbreviation Tǔgǎi (土改), was a mass movement led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Mao Zedong during the late phase of the Chinese Civil War after the Second Sino-Japanese War ended in 1945 and in the early People’s Republic of China,[1] which achieved land redistribution to the peasantry.
I know I’m late, but if you’re curious, it does seem that one of the main contributors is a guy named SocDoneLeft, who is a American reformist socialist, that famously is also a little racist, so it’s not really a surprise that he would use CCP instead of CPC. Always remember to check the sources, and the contributors for higly divisive things on Wikipedia. Especially considering that a third of Wikipedia is written by one guy, and he happens to be an anti-Communist border immigration agent with US security clearance. He is not the most unbiased guy in the world as you might imagine.
However I do get the confusion, since CCP is what the entire West calls it, but even if you disagree with them as a political organization, I still think just calling them what they’re actually called, and not a thing seeped in a lot of bad stuff, is better. I do appreciate that you are willing to use CPC when you were corrected though, that shows that you are not stuck in your ways as many are with this, so thanks for that.
Microsoft: advertises to increase profits like a good capitalist
People: “Is this communism?”

Renting and subscription services are very much capitalism.
There’s a reason commies hate landlords.
Commies aren’t the only ones who hate landlords…
Yeah sure but that doesn’t make you renting things communism.
No but they do tend to historically hate landlords a teensy but more
The ccp certainly did.
