Russian communism is truly oppressive Chinese communism is actually part capitalism! Is American capitalism mostly just imperialism?

Opposite extremes for exploitation. Russian cummunism is oppressive leading to shortages and starvation it IS inhuman “free market” American capitalism is top heavy and opportunistic but results in plenty and distribution. Is a Chinese hybrid form and/or European socialism the happy middle ground?

there are over 500 billionaires in China....... way way too many for a truly Communist system.

@MayorOfCrushtown yes hence it’s a hybrid with capitalism in Russia 143.5 million or about 43% the populace of America, communism in Russia has resulted in shortages for everyone. China produces more consumer goods than anyone else. And has many capitalist elements.
Therefore my question given the diversity of communism and the variety of capitalism too perhaps European style socialism is the better compromise?
