@RisingMorningStar7 China is held together by force. It is inherently unstable. Like many such Governing regimes it looks stable until it collapses. The concern should really be about when, and what might replace it, see Russia and Putin.

The more I read posts on here / debate with people the more convinced I am that Americans have no idea what Communism, Socialism is. Personally I believe in pragmatism. Some things are best done by yourself. Some by private companies, for profit, and some by Government, for the public good. Any political system followed religiously falls apart after time.

@RisingMorningStar7 Indeed they fo. And a healthier, better educated population leads to a more productive workforce. For a country it's a good long term investment.

@22Michelle Yes... What you have in America do is that you tax the middle man and give onto the poor instead of taxing the rich.

The old Soviet Union did not have an equality and the hirer up on the food chain you were the more you had. Sorry not buying this at all. One of the biggest caste systems I have ever seen.
Under Stalin millions more were killed than by Hitler and his fanatics, but when you are on the winning end of a long war no one challenges you when they only want peace.

@RisingMorningStar7 China will continue to do what it deems necessary to protect the Governing party / dictator. It's massive army is mainly used to suppress insurrection. There will be other Tianemen Square type protests. And one of them will carry the day. What follows is anyone's guess. The break up of China or an even more repressive regime?

@22Michelle Well you're for a rude awaking, because America social media is censored. The reason why noone revolts in America is because they have food to eat, takes people food and they will revolt.

@RisingMorningStar7 Where did I get into a revolt in the USA? As for social media censorship I see plenty of posts from the USA that are obviously not censored to my mind, but perhaps you can give some examples of the kind of posts that would be censored, how and by whom?
Also we're getting into a debate about what constitutes freedom? Most Europeans do not consider the USA to be especially free. You're giving provision of food as an example, but it appears food security is an issue.

@MasterLee If it were really equal opportunities the likes of Trump and Musk would be cleaning toilets. Inherited wealth should be against Capitalist principles. Good education for all should be their basic principle.

@Penny The beginning of socialism is theft? I think you have that confused with capitalism. You think the "Robber Barons" of 19th century USA was just a fun nickname?

@22Michelle they call it "redistribution of wealth" they basically steal all the rich people's money right?

That's all very well, but if you ever get in power you will find that it corrupts you. Always happens.
