    Of all the plane crashes of systems and parties and movements in the world rn i doupt China is the best example, especially since they have been treading towards a less revisionist direction under Xi and the progressively neolib and corrupted administrations after Deng have came to a halt. And again even if that plane crashes or never reaches its destination it becoming the dominant one in the world means that other planes of other countries wont get shot down by the US fighter jet for trying to do socialism

    real "that guy that predicts China's collapse or stagnation every year since 2002 " hours

      I would agree that China is not "the best example," and I have no problem agreeing that China has accomplished plenty of good things. I personally have not encountered any good reason to believe that China is any worse than the U.S., in terms of domestic affairs, foreign policy, or otherwise. I'm honestly just tired of seeing this place ubiquitously simping for Xi and the CCP as it exists currently (I'm honestly surprised that my shitpost of a comment got any upvotes at all, and if we still had a downvote button, I'm sure they'd be greatly outweighed by now). This meme seems to literally be declaring that any criticism of the Chinese government from its left can be dismissed because it's only coming from "Western ultra-leftists" who don't understand material conditions outside of America or Europe, which is patently false. But even if it weren't, it's ridiculous to claim that Western leftists wouldn't have any reasonable standing to critique the Chinese government from its left simply by virtue of them being from the West.
