    Sure, and they do plenty of capitalist hellscape shit in general and I’ll shitpost about that all day. They’ve also raised nearly a billion people out of poverty since 1978 and one of the original conceits of Marxism is that capitalism might be necessarily to build the industrial foundation for socialism to be viable in the first place so… We’ll see what happens as they come closer and closer to undeniably a society that could enact true socialism if it wanted to.

    We do know their state has absolutely no qualms about disappearing billionaires as is. Or, you know, millions of Muslims.

      This is a great perspective and it always helps me with gloom and doom. There are billions of people infinitely better off than twenty years ago in regards to access to food, electricity, and clean water.

      You don’t need to wonder what will happen as China has already embraced fascism. Once wealthy individuals and their corporations gather enough power China will be no different than the rest of the world. I would love for them to prove me wrong.

      Capitalism always results in the same outcome and China is no different. Such is life.
