          I didn’t seriously consider that they would just like I wouldn’t seriously consider White Americans in the 1950’s launching a revolution. China has high propaganda and they’re at the part of both industrialization and capitalism where average people see benefit from both.

            China isn’t capitalist, nor is it an imperialist settler colony that gave 1950s white Statesians a better life. It’s a socialist country, the large firms and key industries are overwhelmingly publicly owned and the working classes are in charge of the state. A revolution would be devastating for the Chinese working classes.

              China isn’t capitalist

              That’s delusional

              the working classes are in charge of the state

              The party is in charge of the state. The working class have vanishingly little power.

              A revolution would be devastating for the Chinese working classes.

              That’s what the Ruling Class in every country says. Can’t let everyday people get too uppity
