    They kind of already are in a way. Their populace is happy with the government and the government itself is going in the opposite direction the USSR was going when it started to fall prey to capitalist corruption. CPC is actively rooting out corruption I the ranks and moving towards more socialist policies, nationalizing industries etc. It’s hard to just stop that kind of momentum. Meanwhile the US gets worse every day. So are far as which society will collapse first. Which one will have the most civil unrest etc, it’s definitely the US.

    That all being said I don’t know which side has better propaganda because most Westerners are uneducated enough to just believe anything they are told and been indoctrinated into a kind of mentality that if someone argues them, regardless of fact, then they are wrong and bad and to be ignored.

      IMO the CPC has missed a lot of critical opportunities to propagandize the people. Zero covid needed communication about the airborne nature of the disease, long covid effects, impact on the immune system, effectiveness of various countermeasures, etc. Not enough was done to defend against the western liberal “it’s mild” canard and many will die as a result. They also have a lot less funding for propaganda than western newspapers and cable news channels. On the other hand it ought to be more cost effective to propagandize with truth than with lies.
