Why would communist support capitalists like Putin and Xi-Jinping which aren’t better than Liberal-capitalists ? I am all in for stopping liberal capitalism, but I am more interested in implementing a happinex index like Buthan than living in oligarch-capitalist-regime like Russia/China

Oops all liberals flavor

    It’s bizarre. Both countries have moved away from communism. Russia is ruled by oligarchs. Xi-Jinping’s stated goals are to move China to a modern socialist nation while staying in keeping with China’s culture. His actions are the opposite—China has become more and more capitalist while maintaining authoritarian leadership.

    Capitalism is when you execute capitalists for undermining the will of a communist run government
