Ask yourself this, how do you think your revolution, whatever revolution you think is necessary to install your ideology, is going to go 50 years after it's successful and you've been attacked constantly on all sides and from within by the enemy?

Turns out we can answer that, you won't make it 50 years, you won't make it five if you stick to principles doomed to fail.

China isn't a fascist state, they're not an imperialist state. They're an unapologetic dictatorship of the proletariat, and the only country still around that has executed billionaires, plural. Are they communist? No, no state can be communist given that statelessness is required. But they have an open democracy where all citizens can participate, a government that explicitly follows the will of the people, and an economy that favors the workers and has pulled more people out of poverty than all other economic systems combined. All without really violating human rights.

They're on unapologetic dictatorship of the proletariat…

Lol. Lmao. If the proletariat holds all the power in China, why are their wages and working conditions worse than they are in other capitalist countries? Why do they have billionaires? Why can't they join unions other than the one that's run by the state?

…they have an open democracy where all citizens can participate…

Does that include the Uyghurs? Does that include the Tibetans?

All without without really violating human rights.

You can't come up with a couple of human rights that the PRC may have violated? Not a single one. Yeah righto champ 👍
