    The CPC has lifted more people out of poverty than any country in history, in easily the greatest achievement of the last few decades. When MLMs actually acheive anything other than killing peasants and ultraleft terrorism, than we’ll listen to what they have to say.

    It’s also completely predictable that the only “left” communities allowed on reddit, are those that oppose existing communist states. It was that way in the cold war (only anti-USSR ultralefts were tolerated in public discourse in western media), and it remains that way today.

      Ironically, by claiming that China is “not really socialist” and is instead some kind of capitalist state, are the anti-PRC westoid leftist types implicitly praising capitalism? Isn’t that the same as claiming that capitalism lifted all those millions of Chinese people out of poverty? 🤔

      The inability of the human mind to correlate all of its contents…

        I do wonder how the few people who are critical of China but concede that China has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty thinks they managed to do it.

        Do they just think China through their own authoritarianismTM just outlawed poverty?

        Or do they actually recognise the massive undertaking of mobilizing and organizing millions of people into the countryside to directly tackle the problems of those most affected?
