    If every developed nation had reacted like China did, millions of lives could have been spared.

    COVID really ramped up the Victims Of Capitalism body count.

      our states are uwu smol beans that can only violently repress labour movements, they have no capability to enforce covid policy.

      actually, i'm not even sarcastic, neoliberalism has hollowed the state out to such a degree that they're incapable.

      It was really cool the way the western press used the Chinese response to push "evil authoritarian gommunism" narratives.

      In no way did that contribute to blowback when their governments tried a much more tepid response later on. Not a chance.
