Same here but I always kinda liked Stalin just had to pretend I didn't...now I dont care and basically shill China 24/7. The progression is truly beautiful.
So many people have strong negative opinions or more rarely strong positive opinions on China for people who have clearly never been there, don’t know anyone there and can’t read Chinese. It’s incredibly frustrating to watch as even a non expert. I think outside of a few spaces I’m just going to give up on the subject because the thing people are talking about with China clearly isn’t actually China but some meta-idea on what China represents to their lives.
Funnily enough, the more I read about it the more I realize how genuinely incredible the USSR was. Literally just created the modern planned economic model, reached incredible strides in housing/healthcare infrastructure, and helped create some of the best governments around the world (Cuba, Vietnam, etc)
Eh, I was the same a year or so ago. Didn't like SU or Stalin. Definitely hated China. Over time, my views changed.
