Fasco-capitalst is an exaggeration, but there's no way a country intentionally keeping the standard of living of the working class that low, just to remain as the world's sweatshop is Marxist-Leninist nation.
Fascinating. I've often seen very video game-esque simplifications of complex geopolitical and economic situations, but to think all Xi has to do to fix the standard of living is just turn a slider up like in a video game! Doesn't he know that the 10% happiness boost the people get will outweigh the additional income cost per turn, especially in the long run? And he hasn't even started trying to build any world wonders smh.
I wasn't aware that the western world has cheap healthcare, protects striking workers that kill corrupt bosses and capitalists, and raises the minimum wage every few years.
Don't forget the mass transit system that connect almost the entire country at this point. China is the world leader in high speed rails and they how have trains that can beat actual planes. lol. Meanwhile the US has literal hundreds of freight train derailments every year as the infrastructure crumbles.
"But that's whata-burger-izuhm you evile Ten-Key! Don't you know that Xinnie the Flu forces Wiggluer- Yoghurtz onto his trains to give them free healthcare!? At least in the U.S. you have the right to complain while traveling through our smog-filled cities!"
At least in the US you have the freedom to sit for hours in traffic every day going to and from the job you hate making less than what you need to survive.
Man you made the tankies upset. Anyone who doesn't live in China who thinks China is Communist and supports them for being Communist is a freaking clown. I wish the tankies would actually read some philosophy or economic theory books that actually explain the ideas they claim to be about. China is a joke.
No nation has actually managed to transform into a communist state in the fashion Marx imagined. There's effectively never been a real communist state. Supporting any "communist" state just because they call themselves such is so silly. They're all just thinly veiled dictatorships dangling a communist carrot in front of the populace.
