They straight up use the same old red scare arguments that the far right use against them lmao
Like holy shit have some self-awareness.
Motherfuckers saying eat the rich and then calling Mao a genocidal monster for eating the rich.
Can't make this shit up.

I was meaning to post something like this but you beat me to it, and honestly did better than I could do off the cuff. Whatever you want to call what China is doing, it is certainly not a Western capitalist country.

"I don't like these statistics and essays, check out this animated show where
because that has more tangible reality to understand real conditions by"
The show has a fantastical premise, but is a slice of life about Su Moting's daily struggles to pay her rent, buy the treats that let her continue working her mind numbing job, and how that cycle only repeats endlessly. There's an episode in the show literally about how Ting is so poor a curse that causes poverty doesn't work on her, and another about how she'd rather relive the same Sunday over and over again than have to go to work 5 days a week. This is media being created in the SEZ for the chinese market. If you don't see how something like that wouldn't be created by a person who wasn't living under capitalism, I don't know what to tell you.
If she can still pay her rent, that seems like an anemic curse.
Anyway, you'll get different phrasings of this, but the phrasing I will use here is that markets are not synonymous with liberal capitalism and neither is poverty. I don't see what the insight of a cartoon vs, I don't know, looking at the non-zero number of malnourished people who are still in China.
One major difference that might be left unsaid (idk, I haven't watched it) is that if she got evicted that doesn't mean she'd be out on the street unless she chose to be. Legally, she should have some home address (most likely where her parents live) that is designated as her housing in such a case but, critically, if she does not have any such place (like if her family is dead and she owns no house) she would be given housing by the state. She may not want this housing due to its location or some other issue (and "itinerant" homelessness is very common in some Chinese cities), but that's significantly different from being forced onto the street in the manner that people in America are.
