  • I agree with the first sentence and disagree with the latter. The world capitalist system was in decline by the end of the 1980s, the USSR was successful in exporting revolution even as they were actively impeded by China, and the socialist bloc walled off a vast portion of the world to capitalist exploitation. The Soviet Union’s fall gave the West a shot in the arm that is only wearing off today. These things are awful for humanity in the long run, but the CPC’s continued governance is likely the best of a terrible situation atm.


  • As i said earlier in this thread, the fact that these things happened is justification enough to question China’s commitment to socialism. In spite of his abandonment of Stalin, Khrushchev didn’t ditch Cuba and back a Batista color revolution or something. Just because they aren’t doing these specific monstrous things now doesn’t mean it’s ridiculous to question the CPC. What sense does it make to separate the reforms from the policies that literally helped the United States continue its imperialist hegemony?
