but...isnt china bad? edit: this was a joke, sheesh
No, it's one of the best countries in the world for the working classes at the present moment. It's regularly improving, and though it has its issues, it's doing well to work through them, which is more than can be said of the dying western empire.

On my part, or janewaydidnothingwrong's?
I didnt think I had to include "/s" on this given the context of the post but here we are lol
I get what you mean but people constantly say very misinformed stuff about China without joking
yeah but that is actually the joke I was making, anyway lesson learned
No, it's not perfect, but it's as good as it gets
Better than, say, Norway? By what metrics?

Norway is a dictatorship of capital, and depends on imperialism to subsidize their saftey nets.
Never ask what Norway is doing to Amazonian people
The ROC had its white terror moments.
Unlike this picture, real life contains many shades of grey. There are some areas that could be improved but in other areas they excel about any other nation. It's not black and white.

What's shit about communists?
I have no issue with communists. I'm in the anti capitalist camp myself.
I guess all I'm trying to say is idealising nations as utpoian is unrealistic and demonizig them as dystopian is equally as unfair.
There are obviously exceptions where governments do treat their citizens like trash. I don't like what America is doing at the moment. I try not to think in binaries generally, learning not to anyway
Communists don't idealize socialist countries, not are we utopians.
I didn't say that
