When I mean “more radical” I mean much greater worker ownership of society and less bourgeoisie. More social benefits such as free healthcare, free school, guaranteed employment, free housing, etc.

Basically like Mao but without the dumb mistakes.

    China has all of what you’ve listed and it is only improving over time. The employment part is the weakest, as China’s productive forces have been pretty weak in rural and inland China, so employment opportunities have been strong for those willing to migrate seasonally, but this is getting a lot better through Xi. China is also working to integrate people with disabilities into the economy so they don’t have to live off of the basic guarantees.

    Very little of Mao’s basic structures have been removed, most of them improved, by post-Mao China.

    The bourgeoisie exists while they are useful for development, China’s bourgeoisie isn’t fixed enough to develop into a class for itself. Very few “dynasties” like you get in the West, and they usually don’t last long. I suspect that the bourgeois elements will exists as long as China has a market component of their economy, including international markets.

    Bro I legit cannot understand why I have so many dislikes. I mean, maybe 3 to 5 would make sense, but 30+. I’ve legit seen this one other post get over 60 dislikes. It realistically looks less like people genuinely dislike that and more like that there are bots.

    Alright, my tinfoil hat rant is over.

      There was a mass downvoting wave earlier today. The admins defederated from the offending instances.
