Question is in the title. I know that everything is more complicated than this, but is it a fair shorthand assessment or not? Could it be too simple to say that feudalism -> capitalism -> socialism, or is this actually the right way to look at it? Did the USSR fail because it went straight from feudalism to socialism and then introduced the wrong reforms?

    China already had a state capitalist phase during new democracy under Mao, while I disagree with many of Deng’s reforms they do have many good reasons as to why they did it. With the reforms they managed to capture western capital and become the richest nation on earth (through some metrics)

        A good thing is it seems like Xi Jinping is pushing for more socialism
