    Right but we’re talking long game here. China isn’t flipping the socialism button tomorrow and the risk of capitalist recuperation isn’t tomorrow either. We won’t know the outcome until a century from now

      Yeah, but looking at historical trends since the Deng era, I’m hopeful

        Me too, I just have concerns that the decline of the US empire offers too great an opportunity to compete for global dominance on capitalist terms and if the party decides to engage in that they’ll have to loosen that leash. Real USSR in Afghanistan hours. Will be interesting to see how this plays out over the course of our lifetimes
