Look up a video in Shenzhen or Chongqing. Everything looks 2 decades out, and the giant crystal skyscrapers light up different colors. Sometimes the whole thing is a TV.

China surpassed USAmerica in GDP already, but it doesn't look close to tied in development and advanced technologies.

The trains there go hundreds of miles in less than an hour, you could commute across the country every day.

Meanwhile in America the "middle class" is struggling to have some walls and a roof. Record debt and crumbling infrastructure. How is all of this ignored and not talked about everywhere?

Yeaaa this is why I get pissed off when communists say it's not that important to argue about China or the USSR as long as they understand Marxist theory

The Soviets built the world's 2nd greatest superpower the world has ever seen in a little more than half a century and they still managed to fuck it up because they were the first to ever do it and had no future example

China has constantly learned a lot from their mistakes and have improved upon them

How well would a socialist state function if they believed all the propaganda against the USSR and China? They would never be able to even get a single city functional
