Go to Shenzhen or Shanghai, if that's what communism looks like, then it has already won. A few weeks ago, when I was in Shanghai, I went for a walk and saw more McLarens and Ferraris in a few hours than I've seen in New York, Berlin, and Paris combined.

They're more capitalist than we (the West) ever were. Communism is basically only something that remains in the name of the party. Their version of capitalism just has a lot more state involvement and capital controls, which lets them plan over longer time horizons more successfully and pivot to new priorities much faster.

Don’t forget, it also allows them to regularly and consistently jail citizens either zero recourse.

I promise you they wouldn’t be getting released like we have happening in the US.

Sounds awful imo.

Yet when they want beautiful nature and buildnings etc they go here to Europe.

Very much. Try to start a union in China and see how communist that country is. China is essentially a right-wing hypercapitalist country run by a dictatorship.

It's funny how this comment (which states nothing but facts) was upvoted and then some poeple were coping with reality by downvoting it.
