      It’s a good thing that all that time and resources and blood was spent making the CCP the only instrument of significant political power in China so they could [check notes] as a much-poorer country, have about the same number of billionaires as the poster country for capitalism!

      Power to the people('s billionaires)!

        in any case the country has seen the unprecedented growth in the economy and quality of life since its inception. not perfect, not too shabby.

          The PRC, which is run exclusively by the CCP, is kind of the topic of discussion here. Is that too complex for you to grasp?

          in any case the country has seen the unprecedented growth in the econony and quality of life since its inception.

          It’s hilarious that tankies throw fits over capitalist countries using the same measure to judge their successes, but immediately resort to it when their favorite fascist state is questioned.
