      China is not communist at all for the past 20 years. They do slightly socialist capitalism with a one party system. That’s what makes HB’s love of the CCCP so clueless. Admire China if you want, sure, but they’re not communists. Same people act as if modern Russia is communist because the USSR theoretically was.

      The Chinese and Russians would be perfect rly happy to do the same thing the US has been doing. China is working on it, in fact. Russians seem too mired in their own difficulties but anyone who thinks they don’t want an empire apparently doesn’t know much about the USSR.

      Russia, Iran and China all operate global empires, it’s not just the US. China is also not communist.

      If they were actually communist they wouldn’t produce billionaires by the hundreds.

          Didn’t you already post this dumb shit in a different place? This stupid essay wastes a ton of time citing philosophers instead of data and then ends with “it is okay to have billionaires because of reasons, still socialism.” It isn’t socialism.
