    So I’ve noticed the propaganda about China has shifted over the past ten years. It used to be “China is a hyper-capitalist hellhole where everyone works for 2 cents an hour and you need a gas mask to breathe.” Now it’s “Yeah, China is fixing their problems, they’re building ultramodern infrastructure and unrolling impressive social programs, BUT IT ALL COMES AT A COST.”

        Maoists websites in 2076: “It’s now impossible to deny China is socialist, BUT I’M STILL MAD ABOUT THE GANG OF FOUR”

        Once a capitalist hellhole, always a capitalist hellhole dontcha know. There’s no recovery from revisionism. Ever.

      I recently tried looking up what the MSM says about the homeless population in China and how they try to help their situations, basically every site I checked was like “yea sorry to say but they’re doing well. We disagree with what they’re doing, but yea😔their centers for feeding and clothing the homeless and trying to work with them to get them housing and occupation/education opportunities are successful, sigh😞” it’s crazy to read. Like the Economist was the only one being like “uh China bad, they HAVE homeless people in their country.”
