A thread yesterday had a variety of people asking if the unemployment is lower because the youth are well cared for.

Please click through and read for additional context. Families are helping. Parents age and are not a long-term plan except for the most unusually wealthy.

Please remember: China is nominally communist. Functionally, they are capitalists with an usual side of excess infrastructure spending. A strong central government doesn't make a country communist.

Their land use rules... that makes them communist-ish. But that's a small part of a far larger picture.

Yep, a professor of Marxism in a state-run Chinese university, definitely sounds very neutral. /s

Springer is an academic publisher, but that doesn't mean they agree with the viewpoints of every niche humanities publication in their catalogue. It's sort of like how Penguin offers both Das Kapital and Mein Kampf (with a disclaimer that I'm not calling anyone a Nazi).

Please don’t resort to calling everything that posits an alternate view propaganda.

Even when propaganda is true it's propaganda. Leftists are usually pretty good about acknowledging that, even.
