    The world IS changing. The USSR fell and dictatorships like the ones you worship are slowly coming to an end, one by one. Even though you hate freedom and oersonal accountability, both are becoming the norm and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. So go ahead and fantasize about sending me to the gulags while you beat your butler. I’ll be out here in the real world living my life withiut even remembering that you and your fake passport exist.

      Since USSR fell, China has become the biggest and most important economy in the world, meanwhile burgerland and its vassals are crumbling. Something you’ll have to face one day. So go ahead and fantasize about your dictatorship of the capital while you can little buddy. Have your butler bring you some more copium. Welcome to the real world loser.

        Yeah, how did China manage that without private enterprise? Oh wait, they didn’t. China is a Capitalist country in everything but name. There’s a stock market, social inequality, venture capital, competition, labor-as-capital policies, a strong private banking system. Shit, China is more Capitalist than my country! The only difference is you mysteriously disappear if you criticize the government. That’s the part that gets your tiny little dick hard though, isn’t it, you bootlicker?

          LMFAO how to say you’re an utter ignoramus without saying it. The only question for you is why is it that China is developing differently from actual capitalist countries. Maybe take a moment away form sucking your own dick, and think about that.

            That’s an easy one. When nobody is free to criticize the government, it can do ehatever it wants. You’re not very smart, are you?

              The real (inflation-adjusted) incomes of the poorest half of the Chinese population increased by more than four hundred percent from 1978 to 2015, while real incomes of the poorest half of the US population actually declined during the same time period. https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w23119/w23119.pdf

              From 1978 to 2000, the number of people in China living on under $1/day fell by 300 million, reversing a global trend of rising poverty that had lasted half a century (i.e. if China were excluded, the world’s total poverty population would have risen) https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/China’s-Economic-Growth-and-Poverty-Reduction-Angang-Linlin/c883fc7496aa1b920b05dc2546b880f54b9c77a4

              From 2010 to 2019 (the most recent period for which uninterrupted data is available), the income of the poorest 20% in China increased even as a share of total income. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.DST.FRST.20?end=2019&locations=CN&start=2008

              By the end of 2020, extreme poverty, defined as living on under a threshold of around $2 per day, had been eliminated in China. According to the World Bank, the Chinese government had spent $700 billion on poverty alleviation since 2014. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/31/world/asia/china-poverty-xi-jinping.html

                LOL how butthurt do you have to be to type all that and find all those links? Besides what do they have to do with anything? China has a Capitalist economy, as I already said. Now why don’t you look at Bokivia, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea or any other actually Communist country? The story is quite different.

                  just documenting what an imbecile you are for the people reading this thread. Hilarious how you can’t understand what the links showing that people living in China see their country as democratic and their standard of living improving have anything to do with this thread. Thanks for once again highlighting that you’re using both of your brain cells here.

                  Meanwhile, if China was a capitalist economy, then it would be developing like actual capitalist economies like say India that started in the same place as China. China hasn’t been blockaded by the burger empire that you worship the way Bolivia, Venezuela, Cuba, and DPRK have been. The fact that you don’t get that further highlights what an utter dumb fuck you are.

                  Entire books have been written about this https://ia600200.us.archive.org/29/items/fp_Killing_Hope-US_Military_and_CIA_Interventions_Since_WWII-William_Blum/Killing_Hope-US_Military_and_CIA_Interventions_Since_WWII-William_Blum.pdf

                  However, if need to believe that China is capitalist, you should be very excited that China will be the model for the rest of the world going forward. Also, hilarious just how incoherent you are, since you’ve been busy shitting yourself over me supporting socialism, but seem to have no problem with China which I see as the model. I don’t say this lightly, you are truly one of the dumbest people I’ve interacted on this platform. I’m frankly amazed you have the brainpower to remember to breathe while typing out your inane comments.

                    You’re so mad it’s legitimately entertaining. Please continue to spout your half-digested and quarter-understood propaganda for my amusement. Just make sure not to mention a certain event that happened at ancertain square or you’ll be blacklisted from ever entering the glorious Communist utopia of China where everyone’s a millionaire who is free to have as many babies as they want and to freely express their opinions without fear of reprisal.
