    For the bourgeoisie, perhaps, but only temporarily. We can see that out of every country right now that it’s the Socialist PRC that is making the most dramatic and rapid improvements and growth.

        That’s the normal stance on Lemmy.

        It was founded by communists, so you’d better get used to it

        I’ve been pro-PRC for years, but more people have started shifting their opinions based on the latest trade war and how China is standing up to US bullying.

        Lemmy is developed by Communists, there are going to be Communists.

      The PRC is a capitalist country but not liberal. They have good growth but they lack a lot of the freedoms we enjoy in liberal society.

      Also its funny to me how when you wanted to pick which system was “the best” you selected economic growth.

        The PRC is Socialist, large firms and key industries are firmly in the public sector, while the private sector is largely cooperatives, sole proprietorships, and small firms. This is classically Marxist. I elaborate more on this here.

        Economic growth is merely one vector. The PRC saw the largest reduction in poverty on the planet, has strong democratic control from the people, very high approval rates, high confidence in improving conditions, and regularly increasing purchasing power for workers. The PRC is also leading the green revolution, and isn’t Imperialist like the liberal countries you claim to work so well.
