Because until Deng abandoned it it continued to be a failure.

Deng is the one who actually made China a success, Mao was a complete failure.

Learn your Chinese history.

We don’t know. After you make your bed, maybe you’ll tell us?

Without the Great Leap Forward, Deng would’ve been overthrown by some warlord general.

Really. Capitalism isn’t centrally planned like it is in the Communist system. The government isn’t telling people in the capitalistic system what to make, where to make it, or what vocation to pursue. Private individuals make their own decisions to improve their stake in life.

Slavery, Colonialism, forced regime changes all done under capitalistic systems.

WW2 had 75-80 million deaths I think, so we can start from there

Probably this

Millions died, but people died and suffered


I’ll put it another way, the US went through the industrial revolution without millions dead in a famine.

I feel like China won

If you’re a Chinese born in China it’s probably like being a white man in 50s America


Do your 8 hours and the factory with your best friends, go get drunk at the bowring arrey, go home to your not fat wife. No crime, low taxes, life is beautiful



Meanwhile in America we’re ruled over by people with star wars names that steal from us and the effective tax rate is like 80%. Murder against us is encouraged and self defense is illegal


The Chinese probably feel sorry for us

The entire communist system is literally one of slavery to the state. You don’t own the fruits of your labor or anything else under that system.

Well yes, while it did kill millions of the public, it still did manage to be a complete failure in almost every measure.

Well, looking at your retarded fricking worldview I would say capitalism didn't kill enough.

Be thankful you (presumably) live in a country where you can say shite like this without being forced into concentration camps like they still do to this fricking day in China, you stupid fricker.
