Hello everyone! I was wondering what modern day communists think about current China because I have heard many different and conflicting opinions by people who should theoretically be on the same side of the political spectrum. Thanks in advance!

      I second that. It seems like idealism to believe everyone is capable of fighting off their oppressors unassisted, especially with the gap in power as it is. Sounds like bootstrapism. Some people are severely disadvantaged and require assistance. I wouldn’t have expected the intentionally fractured German proletariat to defeat the Nazis alone, for example. Maybe after a long decline but not then.
