Struggle session engage. Post your pathetic arguments so that I and the other China Good Posters can dismantle them and you can learn.

Key points:

  • China is a democracy. It is arguably the most functional and responsive democracy in a major country today. Its citizens consider it more democratic than the citizens of almost any other country do their own.

  • China is on a clear path to socialism and economic justice. No nation in history has ever reduced poverty in anything like the way China is doing it.

  • The vast majority of people in the PRC support the CPC. This is not due to being brainwashed. Americans are brainwashed and still hate their government.

  • Almost everything you hear about China in the West sits on a spectrum between malicious misrepresentation to outright fabrication with no basis in reality.

  • China's ascension to the premiere global power is an extremely good thing for world peace and the global socialist movement. While China does not actively support other socialisms (sadly it's not as good as the USSR in this regard) it does not do imperialism. China will allow socialisms around the world to flourish simply by not actively crushing them like the US and Europe.

    the US and USSR where never more than large players on a much larger stage

    okay, I'll rephrase: If I had to choose between China or the USA being a larger player, I would choose China. Obviously, both can (and will) coexist, but if I could choose which country collapse tomorrow, I wouldn't pick China. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean here, sorry

    also, they don't just teach "some Marx". Marxist courses are required for college and party members are required to pass Marxist exams (sort of like the imperial system, funnily enough). Go on a Chinese political message board and you'll see how accepted socialism is, they really are miles ahead of the US. It's just a country that is way more open and accepting of our ideals, even if those ideals aren't going to be implemented by the capitalist government.
