Given that I live in the US Empire, a number of things will go differently for socialist construction. The US Empire is de-industrialized, and is a settler-colony. Decolonization and re-industrialization will both be required. However, certain aspects of China's experience with socialism will also be experienced by the socialist state replacing the US Empire in this hypothetical, and I support that as well.

I really don't know what it's like in China because I've never been there. I know some people who are from China but they've never really talked about anything other than visiting their families. All I hear comes from the US propaganda machine, so I can't really have an informed opinion. This is probably how it should be for like 95% of Americans. We don't need to have an opinion about everything ffs.

• modern electricity grid quickly moving away from fossil fuels
• high speed train network
• cheap fresh produce
• affordable housing
• transitioning to socialism via the development of productive forces
• strong investment in education and R&D
• quickly advancing tech in almost every sector that matters
• people-directed governance that is not subservient to capital (foreign or domestic)
• very low crime
• ecological restoration that won't get cancelled by the next elected administration
• cheap and good quality healthcare
• bold long term vision and consistent achievement of it over time

objectively better than just about any other place

i would literally kill for half the amenities they have in China.
