In the early sixties there was a great famine in China where an estimated 15-45 million civilians starved to death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine I oppose any form of Socialism, but even I have to admit that China has improved far beyond anything we could have imagined 30 years ago. It is now one of the largest economies in the world. People have housing, education and access to medical care. No one is starving there anymore. And not only did they improve their own standard of living, they now go about investing in large scale infrastructure in Africa which has the potential to improve the lives of millions there in the long run.
