    Ah yes, get rid of extremism with different extremism. I think we’ve been there already. Spoiler: Didnt work.

      First, a societal organization outside the Western norm has no bearing on if it will be successful or not. The “middle” has no superior intrinsic characteristics.

      Second, we know Socialism works, the PRC is now becoming the de facto world power as the US falls, all while providing dramatic improvements for its people and increasing levels of satisfaction.

      What, specifically, doesn’t work?

        That first chart isn’t even trying to hide that is fake. It’s depicting a perfect mirroring.

          Here’s the Pew Research data it draws from.

            Conveniently, clicking through to the actual data returns a 404.

              Pretty odd, considering it’s the official Pew Research website, but the findings are not out of consistency with similar polls on approval for the government and the continuous improvements in purchasing power for the working class.

        Well, first, as far as i know China is known to miss report its economical report. But even if that would not be the case.

        Human rights dont work there. https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2025/country-chapters/china

          Human Rights are overall good in China, and improving steadily.

          HRW has ties to the US government, is a revolving door, and refuses to critique US foreign policy.

            Are you paid by China? Nice propaganda, m8. I dare you to go live in China as a non-rich Person for more than a year. Let’s see how much you like the country then.

              Not paid by China, I’m just a Marxist-Leninist. I would love to visit or live in China for a year or more, but would want to be back with my family.

                Maybe you should try it. That might get you off your weird trip.

                  Pretty sure I’ll only become more Communist, haha. From the Chinese ex-pats I’ve spoken with, it’s very pleasant to live in, and far easier for those without money than in the US.

        I’m sorry, but what kind of bullshit data is this? Asking Chinese people if whether the like China or not? When everyone fears being executed, no one will say anything bad. Lmao, tankie bullshit.

          Chinese people are not in constant fear of execution, lmao, that goes directly against polling results from western pollsters:

          Although state censorship and propaganda are widespread in China, these findings highlight that citizen perceptions of governmental performance respond most to real, measurable changes in individuals’ material well-being. Satisfaction and support must be consistently reinforced. As a result, the data point to specific areas in which citizen satisfaction could decline in today’s era of slowing economic growth and continued environmental degradation.
