@maija I have read some stuff about this, it's basically impossible to solve poverty while maintaining an equitable system at the same time. People say that China isn't really communist. I think it is a matter of perspective. Deng properly understood that you could not transition a massively poor and undeveloped country to communism, I mean I think that's even basic Marxism ideology. He intended to leverage socialism to do a managed development of the country but with heavy government oversight to prevent capitalist abuses and excesses, and it clearly was a big success. So, not communism but an intelligent plan to get to communism through socialism. My uneducated opinion though is that Xi is fucking this all up.
