The problem with communism isn't the revolution, that part has worked incredibly well. It's the fact that the communists don't know what they actually want. I've seen them argue against almost every concrete concept or idea that is falsifiable, but has a decent track record of improving people's lives, because it compromises their all or nothing ideology. Xi Jingping said something like "How about we let the ideology slide and try something that works for now" and no, China did not adopt capitalism, they adopted a heavily state controlled market economy with politicians having direct influence over almost every major business with the ability to fire CEOs. If anything, this proves that the western style "anti-statism" ideology that blames all economic problems on government intervention is, like communism, complete bullcrap. Yet you naively hear from people how China has adopted Capitalism, when in reality they broke literally every single rule in both the capitalist and communist books. It's like the author of this blogpost says. It's hopeless, because we already have the solutions, not because the problems are hard.
