blames China rather than their own uncompetitiveness
that’s EXACTLY what’s being blamed. And why Germany and the west in general is having a big rise in far-right politics. The bourgeois and their supporters believe cracking the whip on the workers to reduce costs and increase profits will make the line go up again - and it likely will. In the meantime, preventing Chinese companies from capturing market shares to ensure the local bourgeois keep their influence in society and their source of wealth extracted from workers.
At the cost of workers’ wellbeing of course, while the market profits. It’s the capitalist race to the bottom and against each other.
Endorse a reform-capitalist understanding of de facto Keynesian economics, increasing capitalist metrics of “prosperity”
Think I agree with a different school of bourgeois economics that supports measures opposed to Keynesianism
Think I view increased productivity and getting ahead in the competition between bourgeois economies and states as something worth pursuing and endorse measures meant to pursue those goals
I do not. I want a stateless, classless society, that meets the needs of and acts in favor of the proletariat, instead of creating new wants to be sold to give to the prole as a commodity. A society that would not destroy the planet through constant increases in productivity and output, perhaps? One where competition is recognized as a hinderance?

lol. MF thinks you can get more productivity by decreasing wages.
So you
