        I disagree. Countries controlled by communist parties today have retreated from socialism by enacting market reforms, but they haven’t fallen. A fallen revolution wouldn’t bother to call itself communist anymore.

        China, in particular, seems to be on a good trajectory and has made a lot of progress towards socialism. There’s a reason they tried harder than pretty much every other country on Earth to save their people during the pandemic, despite how much that might have hurt their economy.

        China isn’t communist, but it’s progressive and they’re getting there. The revolution just isn’t over yet 😘

            Zero COVID proves China is literally different than every other capitalist nation on Earth. Even if you don’t believe the official data, the excess death rate (i.e. something they can’t hide) shows they beat pretty much everyone other than extreme outliers like New Zealand.
