    A socialist state where housing is a guarantee and where poverty doesn't lead to widespread drug use because it doesn't exist. Also addiction recovery programs in the transitional state.

    Why. What is yours, push them into a comically large blender? Or a prison, how about a prison?

        For as much as the news talks about a declining birth rate, you are aware that people are still born in the west, right?

        "Move"

        You knowing moving isn't free and it isn't easy for most people to get a job in a country whose language they don't speak, right?

        Furthermore, even if someone does move, then you don't take it as proof they are a hypocrite but rather proof they are delusional, so your original claims is just bad faith bullshit.

            Whoever said any of that?

            On the bright side, since you seemed to imagine that I was going there, you proved my point that the first claim ("why don't you move there?") is bad faith bullshit

        You know that real world socialist states don't have a homelessness problem anywhere approaching the west, especially the US, right?

        The only fantasy here is in your capitalist realism soaked brain.

          Right the millions of poor rural Chinese living below the poverty line don't exist sure if you pretend that the problem doesn't exist it makes it easier to believe the ccp propaganda

            the poverty line is very made up bullshit based on nothing but vibes some economists had, not even any statistics, it should be higher in a lot of places, lower in others where the price of things is lower, but in any case, no one claimed poor rural Chinese people don't exist, ThereRisesARedStar said they don't have a homelessness problem anywhere approaching the west, which is true, all of those poor rural Chinese people have homes, hell most of them even own their own homes, they don't even rent, so, what exactly is your point? China has been the largest alleviator of poverty in modern history, yet, they do still have poverty, it has not been eradicated yet, but, they do not have a homelessness issue due to government initiatives that have worked very hard to make sure there is enough housing for their population (see western propaganda about ghost cities and the reality of how they're all filled with people now)

                what facts did I deny? do you want me to get you the homelessness and home ownership statistics for China? I assure you that they support my point, which is that the majority of people in China (even the poor rural people) are not homeless and even own their own homes.
