"Hundreds of millions of Chinese Communists"? Millions at the very best. The vast majority of them are apolitical beyond somewhat basic approaches of "the government does good/bad thing for me, so government good/bad" like most people everywhere. And I'm not going to accept that the Chinese who actually simp for the government are actually Communists if they simp for a government that allows billionaires to accrue even more wealth through exploiting people, persecute minorities and tentatively dips its toes into imperialism. None of that shit is in the Communist Manifesto. If you disagree with this take, you're unironically agreeing with tankies.

Communism isn't a problem, just like actual christlike Christians aren't a problem.

The problem is the susceptibility to abusive power. Capitalism is bad at that, but communism is terrible at it.
