Fully disagree.
Economic reforms were trash, the Chinese did them better.
Political reforms broke the system. The Chinese avoided doing them and look at them today.
- vintermann 4y agoToday they are rich and poweful, but have pretty much abandoned any pretense at worrying about capital exploitation of labour. It's a nationalist, corporatist, authoritarian state, ironically closer to Chiang Kai-shek's ideal state than Mao's, let alone Marx's. That was not the outcome he wanted. People often paper over that he was a true believer in Marxism-Leninism, unlike his predecessors.

- mvc 4y agoOh yeah. China's a real "land of the free, home of the brave" these days. Just ask Jack Ma or Peng Shuai.
