> Serious Communist China ended with everyone starving
This is certainly a claim, let's see how it stands up against the historical record (as from wiki):
1961: Last famine in the PRC
1966: Start of the Cultural Revolution
1976: Mao dies
I'm having a bit of trouble reconciling these, but if you've got some arguments explaining why the Cultural Revolution was after the end of "Serious Communist China" I'd be interested.
- joshuaissac 3y agoI agree. Communes were only privatised in the early 1980s, and I think that is a better marker for the end of communism in China. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_responsibility_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_responsibility_syste...
