Tell him [them] that in China the government functions as a supermassive startup accelerator.
Chinese entrepreneurs get free office space and seed funding to grow the business and test out the idea in a mixed-market system. Poor people can actually be successful. Rural peasants are the largest class bloc in the Chinese Communist Party. It’s practically a miracle.
Silicon Valley is a joke - idealistic peasants dancing for money in front of feudal barons.
When you run into these people [“Libertarians”], tell them the truth about China: they’re much better at “capitalism” than the West. Imagine having a visionary idea for a tech product, and then getting the backing of state power.
Imagine how quickly your idea could transform from qualities into quantities. Oh, and you can pirate anything you want! Ideas are shared, knowledge is shared.
Yes, of course China isn’t communist enough for Westerners [or the Chinese people]. China isn’t Utopia. We are Communists. We know this. Everybody knows this.

as Mussolini said, the 20th century was totalitarian in nature, what kind of abomination will be exploiting humanity next is undecided but I'd bet on this woke capitalism.

The technocratic neoliberal dream lol, sorry proles but no class war here just disruption of markets https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Californian_Ideology

You made a post about China being better at capitalism than imperialists
If you want to purge capitalists and the fascists completely from the Imperial Core, and do it in time to handle climate change, you’re going to need nuclear and biological weapons and a lot of bullets. I don’t want my friends to die just because they were born in a nightmare, so I’d rather not use the nuclear option.
Shutting down global capitalism in this way would be incredibly dangerous.
The system is delicate [fragile]: just-in-time supply networks (think food and petroleum and electricity and internet) are not at all robust. If we don’t resolve contradictions properly, there will be mass global starvation. We have to act, though. Everything is on the table when it comes to saving humanity.
The problem isn’t just having a successful revolution inside the Imperial Core - reaction will remain and class struggle will continue for some time.
This is what happened in the USSR. They changed the economic base and declared it socialism. Because Marx said so and Lenin said so, and they both read a lot of Hegel, so if you’re still not happy, peasant, you must be some kind of kulak in need of a gulag. Yes, blasphemy, I know.
We can only begin to truly remove reaction and corruption in a Cultural Revolution. Minds need to change. The proletariat must be transformed, the petit bourgeois and peasantry too.
Everyone must be proletarianized, which is itself a transformation of the mind, through re-education [mindcleansing]
