I posted that one comment from another thread on lemmygrad on the reddit thread, an analysis of why China is socialist. I’ll put it in the comments.

You can disagree with China’s strict non-interventionism, and its refusal to get involved in war-quagmires and export revolution like the USSR did (that ultimately proved to be a massive drain on the USSR’s economy via the cold-war-arms-race), but it doesn’t make them any less socialist.
The CPC underwent tremendous struggle to liberate China from foreign domination, and they believe it’s the responsibility of each country to do that same difficult work of liberating themselves.
I do disagree. Like, to me the basic philosophy that underpins socialism is that if someone needs help you should do your best to help them… as opposed to talking about how it’s their own responsibility to help themselves
How many socialist countries that the Soviet Union once fully supported still exist?People don’t cherish what they are given, they only cherish what they gain through struggle.
“people don’t cherish what they are given” isn’t this a classic right wing talking point tho. like, bootstraps ideology
This is reality. The difference between left and right It lies in people’s subjective behavior rather than denying objective existence.
