I'm sorry, what? Have you ever actually tried to read Capital? Most of Marx's works are dense and academic, drawing intellectual traditions that are often unfamiliar to modern readers (classical economics, Hegel, etc). Marx's way of argumentation isn't really geared toward the lowest common denominator.
It's kinda funny how you can't even keep your criticism straight through a single comment. In one sentence, reading Marx is a "chore" that nobody would want to slog through, in the very next one, Marx is so persuasive, his honeyed words easily sway the minds of any who stumble across them, like the Sirens calling ships to their rocks.
As for "no good goal exists anymore" or "it's hard to see what good goal tankies ever had" maybe we just like it when this sort of thing happens:
The revolution that feeds the children gets my support.
When you figure out a better way to do that, get back to me.
Here goes:
A similar jump from around 1949 to 1980. In China it seems to have begun around 1930, with WWII causing a dent. In Finland the same had begun around 1880's. But the development between 1949 and 1980 is very similar, only: without concentration camps! (...since 1918.)
Wrong as shit, how are you so ignorant about your own history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Karelian_concentration_camps
That's still not as fast of a development, and the conditions aren't really comparable. China used to be among the poorest countries in the world.
And while their government has not always been ideal, it was undoubtably the best option on the table historically. The corrupt Nationalists didn't do shit for the people (and pocketed foreign aid). Before that, with no central authority, was the warlord period. Before that was the backwards Qing dynasty. In all the thousands of years of Chinese history, nobody really did anything for the rural people until the communists.
