    well yeah if you consider half (?) of the entire planet is chinese, you can consider we are half socialist already.

    well, not quite, but you get the idea.

      Ya. You aren't equating the global population of ethnically Chinese people to socialists right?
      Some of the more economically conservative capitalists I've met have been Chinese folk who made it, over generations, to my country via Malaysia. Those trade route histories go way back, it's wild.

      But still, when you consider all the nations who have way more socialist history than our colonies and some of the large populations in some of them, you might be overall right that half the world is (at least culturally/sympathetically) socialist and probably one good fresh revolution away from doing it again. The Chinese mainland population alone does give us a pretty great head start.

        oh no, i meant more in a "living under some kind of socialism" kind of way instead of "am socialist"

        although your way of interpreting it also works, id bet we do have at least half of world who believes in some sort of communism, yes.
