Look, no country is perfect, but this is all you really need to see to understand the superiority of socialism over capitalism. In 1990, 83% of socialist China's population was living in extreme poverty. But by 2025, they had abolished [music] extreme poverty completely. Meaning they had lifted over 800 million people out of those poor conditions. And this could only be accomplished through socialism, through centrally planning the economy to ensure that it serves the workers [music] rather than banks and shareholders. In the US, banks are owned by private individuals who make their money by debt [music] trapping you. In China, the banks are owned publicly, so they can be used to fund things like infrastructure projects, healthcare, and housing. In the US, our land is owned by giant real estate firms and landlords who make their money by parasitically charging you rent. In China, the land belongs to the people, [music] which is why their homeownership rates have skyrocketed past the United States. The US government spends all of our resources on endless wars, [music] so that banks and shareholders can control foreign countries and profit off of them. In China, the government reinvests their country's resources in bringing people things that they need and developing the economy. This includes the rural regions where poverty was rampant for decades or even centuries. And if this continues, China will continue to grow and advance into the future while the US continues to decay and gets left behind. We need to have a working-class revolution against the banker and landlord class like they had in 1949. That's the only way we can kick out these people who are running our country into the ground. So, if you want to learn from China's success, join the American Communist Party at ACp.us. US.
