Then why do you come here and offer only platitudes? There are plenty of things to criticize about China, about the USSR, etc. We could have nuanced discussions about these topics.
Why do you believe the things you say? What is shaping your worldview? Can you point to a government you think is doing thing well currently, or at least heading in the right direction?
Because they are here to tell us that they are the only PURE and TRUE Marxist around, the noble Maoist, here to tell us ignorant revisionists how wrong we are for supporting a country that has undertaken the greatest poverty alleviation effort in human history. If Xi was really communist, he would've just pressed the big red communism button already! People's QOL doesn't improve over time, it's a binary, you either have it or you don't! And China clearly don't! Love me, I'm a ~~liberal~~ Maoist!
No one ever responds to these real questions lol you ask for sources they disappear, you ask why they believe what they believe they check right the fuck out
It's largely because they haven't actually thought about these things.
