Yeah they're no USSR to our collective misfortune.

If the PRC was the USSR they would have collapsed 6 years ago, personally I'm glad they're making efforts to avoid the mistakes of the soviets and plan a sustainable route to communism

Their lack of militant internationalism is regrettable though, but I also recognise the fine line party leadership has to walk between supporting global socialism and avoiding WWIII, and not that you did but to say they do nothing is wrong i.e providing tons of food and other aid to Cuba, Supplying Venezuela with arms and military advisors(even if that counted for fuck all during Maduro's kidnapping), providing developing countries with an alternative to the usurious IMF etc

One can hope that over the coming years and decades as the US empire collapses they'll be more willing to engage in militancy abroad

Why 6 years ago? You implying the Soviets wouldn’t have survived COVID?

It was a pretty arbitrary number just to illustrate my point: I derived it from the fact that USSR lasted 69 years from founding to dissolution, and from the founding of the PRC to today is 75 years, 6 years difference as things stand

I thought 69 years was just for the bit tho, and PRC is going for 420.
