    This is the post I was responding to when you decided to jump in with your spicy bullshit take:

    Since Xiaoping’s market reforms, China has nationalized numerous exploitative private companies, decreased working hours to 8 per day, improved working conditions, gotten rid of hundreds of thousands of corrupt officials, purged greedy billionaires like Jack Ma, and built the most extensive high-speed rail and public transport system in the world.

    China, with 5x the population of the US, had 121k covid deaths, while the US had 1.2mil. Because the latter prioritizes capital/profit over human lives, while China does the opposite.

    These are clearly in the interest of the Proletariat/working class, not the ruling class; China has actively punished the latter.

    And all that without overthrowing foreign governments and causing genocides. So how is China even comparable to the US, aside from their economic growth? Has it ever occurred to you that maybe western media tries to show their geopolitical rivals in a bad light, even when they’re objectively better?

    I’m not ignoring American undersupply, it’s not relevant in this thread, but I have explicitly mentioned it being bad, and you even quoted me that it’s bad. You are now being blocked, if not for being a troll then for being so irredeemably stupid there’s no point interacting further. Good fucking day.

      I didn’t defend that op. I criticized one part of your reply. But you are so angry at China, that they could cure cancer and you’d say it’s horrible and America should not do it because all the Pharma investors would lose their money.
