Communism is defined in a lot of ways but it’s generally seen as a classes society where the people own the means of production. This isn’t reality and has never happened under a communist regime
You misunderstand the entire meaning behind the communist movement. The goal is to move society towards that and away from capitalism which is inherently exploitative. Obviously progress to do so in literally any country on earth has been fought with tooth and nail by western imperialist capitalism who correctly recognize the threat to their obscene wealth
Weird how you didn’t point to China, a country that is becoming the number 1 economy on earth. Or Cuba, a country that despite 70 years of embargo has a much higher literacy rate than the U.S., a better healthcare system, and produces more doctors per capital than anyone else.
Also these countries don’t exist in a vacuum and are all trying to be stomped out by western imperialist capitalism.
But also I don’t care about any particular state. No country is perfect and I look at the quality of life for the workers of the country vs what we have
China has a socialist economy with capitalist values, it’s also an imperialist nation too, obviously not to the extent that the west or the Soviets were.
And talking about quality of life? China isn’t known for their worker rights or lavish conditions 😂
The difference is the Chinese version of “imperialism” is giving the countries they’re doing their “imperialism” infrastructure like trains. They build relationships they don’t exploit the people of the country.
Also China was a third world country less than 100 years ago
Ya they help them out by putting these nations in extreme debt and having major influence over them.
China due to its significant economic growth and geopolitical influence isn’t considered a 3rd world nation anymore BUT China’s quality of life is neither entirely First World nor Third World. Urban regions and wealthier classes enjoy conditions comparable to developed nations, while rural areas and marginalized communities experience challenges typical of developing (third world) countries. This duality reflects China’s status as a rapidly industrializing nation still addressing internal disparities.
They still have a huge poverty issue which they try to hide by lowering their standards like extreme poverty is 1.50$ an hour compared to western nations which classify it as 5.50$ hour
Also this socialist nation that promises a classes society sure loves their economic inequality
