    Yeah, because the US bombs them or funds terror cells or blockades their economy.

    Cold War. Communism was hunted and destroyed whereever it arose.

            I disagree. Countries controlled by communist parties today have retreated from socialism by enacting market reforms, but they haven’t fallen. A fallen revolution wouldn’t bother to call itself communist anymore.

            China, in particular, seems to be on a good trajectory and has made a lot of progress towards socialism. There’s a reason they tried harder than pretty much every other country on Earth to save their people during the pandemic, despite how much that might have hurt their economy.

            China isn’t communist, but it’s progressive and they’re getting there. The revolution just isn’t over yet 😘

                Zero COVID proves China is literally different than every other capitalist nation on Earth. Even if you don’t believe the official data, the excess death rate (i.e. something they can’t hide) shows they beat pretty much everyone other than extreme outliers like New Zealand.

                    The excess death rate, again something that can’t be faked, proves China outperformed everyone else.

                    They can lie an say a death from COVID was actually a heart attack or a stroke or the flu, but they can’t just disappear bodies and pretend they’re still alive.
