      The PRC is indeed governed centrally by the CPC, the party of the proletariat. Nobody said China was a “utopia,” you seem addicted to making strawman arguments. In fact, Marxism is anti-utopian, you continue to make arguments up in order to prove your baseless points. Also, “regime” just means “government you don’t like,” it isn’t a physical thing. Some Chinese people don’t like their system, but over 95% approve of their government.

      The EU is thoroughly and entirely capitalist. There is no socialism in the EU. Capitalism is a mode of production characterized by private ownership of the large firms and key industries, while socialism is characterized primarily by public ownership of the large firms and key industries. The “right” and “left” that you speak of are only that way relative to each other, when overall they are both on the right. Further, the EU relies on imperialism in order to fund their safety nets. The fact that the EU has a relatively small left and a huge right does not improve your stance.

      I really think you need to take a step back and familiarize yourself more with the arguments your opponents are making. You seem to only strawman, you don’t actually know what us leftists want.

          I wanted a discussion, your only interaction with it was making up my views and calling those made-up views dogmatic. If you refuse to engage genuinely, then you shut the conversation down, plug your ears, and leave.

          steering towards your dogmatic views

          He didn’t do anything wrong, though? You’re the one that kept trying to hold China up against the standard of Utopia. You’re the one that called China a “regime” (a meaningless term). You’ve been repeatedly leaving these comments in this thread, acting like you’re gonna leave, but you continue to blather on with your liberal platitudes. If you could write just 1 or 2 substantial comments with good sources for every 5 “Bye!” that you write, maybe the conversation would have come to its natural conclusion by now.
