    Listen buddy, I’ve read enough books about China and it’s politics and culture that the “google this one thing” spiel isn’t gonna make much headway with me. I have criticisms and I support other things. China is a big country and different political moves have affected areas positively and negatively, and there are pros and cons to them allowing capitalist interests to become involved in their politics.

    When you say “google how many billionaires” there are to me though it makes me think you don’t really understand what you’re talking about. That’s fine though, nobody is born with knowledge, and how the fuck are we supposed to know when we live on the other side of the world? Pick up some books about the subject, you’re obviously passionate about it so I think you’ll enjoy it.

      I’ll bite. What are the things you like about the CCP? There are plenty of good things about China but I’m not aware of any that were created or expanded upon by the “Communist” regime. The bad things are so bad that I can just list ethnic groups and we all know what I’m taking about.

        Well there’s a lot, but if you wanna read a good book about the cultural Revolution and how in depth and different different decisions affect different areas of China, I’d suggest reading The Unknown Cultural Revolution by Dongping Han.

        If you want a short one shot just from me, I’m a pretty big fan of the kill pigs list. I understand that the level of corruption let’s certain elites in China get away with shit like in the US, but a lot of them do hard time or get the death penalty for doing shit that is normal and consequence free for ALL the elites in the US. Like I said, it’s not awesome, but I like some aspects of the CCP, and I like it better than the US oligarchy.
