    At the end of the day, you're trusting one set of autocrats over another. I get it. The collapse of Western hegemony is well past due.

    I just think you're falling for the feel-good reactionary alternative in doing so.

      wrong again

      there is such thing as social necessity

      you are a reactionary for thinking that PRC has to abide by some abstract set of "traditional" principles that really only exist inside your mind, not in the real world

      there are material conditions that have to be considered, and 1 billion+ people have to wake up and eat every day

      without state capitalism, PRC would still be a feudal backwater and without socialism it would still be an imperialistic or client state mess

      if you don't want to give credit for the fastest growing & most quickly advancing economic system in history, fine. but don't try to label it something it's not

      that's just your brand of cope, not anything to do with reality
