Love seeing how SHOCKED federated folks are at the mere implication of China being better than the US. I feel like if you view the USA from outside a highly myopic lens painted by extreme privilege, there is nothing redeemable about it. Even if the worst theories about China were true, they would be a drop in a bucket compared to how much evidenced misery the US has wrought. But most of the people slinging shit at China rarely care about the folks who are not white in the imperial core.

Liberals on the internet who've never been to China: "Wow, they can't even access Meta (TM) or X (TM). How do they live?

Me, a Chinese person visiting NYC: "Why the fuck is there no cell signal or Aircon in these subway stations? How do these people fucking live like this in the wealthiest city in earth?"

Take a look at how the list of richest people in the world changed after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It's really quite telling.

Holy shit, she actually says the "means of production" in that clip. More proof that the capitalist class and their flunkies understand Marxist ideas, just with the adjectives reversed.

Oh yeah definitely. The most ghoulish to me are the cold-war CIA agents, who were very well-versed in Marxism, knew the righteousness of our cause, and still did their best to kill every communist they could.
