    It’s almost like socialism works and US propagandists have been telling us nothing but lies.

      i always wonder why people act like socialism/ communism or however one calls it should not work or be worse, while capitalism should work.

      While one is working together while the other is everybody on their own.

      like as if there would be any scenario really where working together would not be the most efficiant

      (my comment is not about china)

        Right!? If socialism didn’t work why did the American empire spent billions toppling socialist democracies and bombing millions of civilian?

          Well duh, the others have hardly any whi- smart people. Hardly any smart people. Can’t help it, they can’t even read the WaPo, CNN or BBC, which are the only news which aren’t propaganda.

        Travel to both China and the US and say that again. I’ll promise you, you won’t.

            Have you been to both? Or are you just so small minded you believe you know everything almost 2b people and the 2 biggest economies have to offer?

                I’m an American living in China so maybe you can understand why I would be confused.

                Did something go seriously wrong when you were in each country? Like I won’t return to America if I can avoid it, but there’s still aspects of it I get homesick for, namely the nature and food, and the convenience, price, and scale of cities in China is just good for your soul.
