Anyone one who stills has even a modicum of faith or hope in the political system either has a very thick skull or is an incredible masochistic glutton for punishment.

I am not talking about Stalin and other tyrants that disguised themselves as Communists.

Stalin was the greatest Communist that ever lived.

Un ironically, China is the only country giving Communism any ounce of credibility. 

 

Without Communism and the Communist Party, what would China be like today? The answer to that is simple: India. China would be like India. 

Without the cultural revolution throwing out spiritual superstitions, China would be religiously superstitious and backwards. They would be less industrialized, less literate, etc...

Why India? Its because the two countries are incredibly similar and came from similar starting positions. Massive populations of over 1 billion people, incredibly religious and superstitious, dominated by western powers. 

As of today, its estimated that 19% of the population of India is illiterate, as opposed to 3% in China.

Modern China isn’t even remotely close to the kind of Soviet style Communism under Stalin. The reason I say Stalin is the greatest Communist is because he was quite serious about the destruction of private markets. This is not the position of modern day China-we can’t truly call it a Communist state.

Don't confuse me saying Stalin was the greatest Communist with me saying that he did anything remotely positive for the people of the country or world at large. He is responsible for the deaths of millions of his own citizens through war, famine, enslavement of rural peasants, labor camps and murder of many civilians, military commanders and political opponents through his private police state. But nonetheless he was a serious Communist- that should tell us a lot about the ideology and how it turns out in practice.

We see what’s happening in North Korea today, China & Russia were smart enough not to adopt the same strategy, at least not in its totality. Even then they are still backwards in many ways
