  • The very fact that China is a unique mix, including massive capitalism - ~60% of China’s GDP comes from the private sector, which also accounts for 80% of urban employment and 90% of new jobs -is a perfect example of socialism and communism not being viable on their own.

    They need a capitalist platform holding the whole thing up for it to work, and even then their socialist/communist parts are the worst and most deplorable parts of the country - authoritarianism, mass censorship, capital punishment for even remotely criticising the government, child and slave labor, extreme poverty in the underclass with an elite ruling class, state sponsored propaganda that is demonstrably false but all means to challenge it banned/blocked. Then there’s the whole persecution of Uyghurs thing as well, but I’m sure you’ll pretend that’s not a thing right?

    Your definitions of “doing well” for all the other countries I gave are crazy. Just absolute madness.
