      When the graph measures things like air quality, reforestation, and social welfare spending yes, yes it does. This is what a centrally planned economy looks like. You think it doesn't involve graphs?

      The capitalist line is one or two lines (S&P and NASDAQ) that represent the profitability of the capitalist class with no other metrics.

          That's true, but a commitment to continuously improving material conditions is probably good thing for a country trying to fast-track their way to communism.

          I'd say it does, the working class is going to have a lot more power if it's not suffocating and starving. reduction in privatization is something that should be added though I agree. I think that was proposed for the next one

              The working class in the 1st world also has too little time or money. Sure, they are materially better off than the working classes of exploited nations, but thats a fairly low bar.

            Chinese workers are paid literally poverty wages, worse than American workers. It was the whole reason why capitalists chose to move manufacturing over there and build factories.

            There are over 20,000 strikes in China a year due to bad work conditions and exploitation. They don't have any power, but it's all OK to you guys cause you think China is a communist utopia.

      nah this actually somewhat reflects social spending, which does address some criticisms.

      They literally parrot right-wing talking points to defend China. Capitalism is GREAT when China does it. If it were American liberals or conservatives posting these graphs showing "growth", they'd be ranting about all the people in poverty. As for the Chinese working class, no one cares cause their country opposes US imperialism or something.
