How about you work on building a socialist movement in your own society instead of telling others what to do? I can't believe this shit is upvoted so high. Do western leftists think China can just push the communism button?
It's not that they can "push the communism button", but it's more like "turn the socialism dial". As the country continues to grow and establish itself, the expectation is that the dial is turned "up".
That's not to say that I think they are at the point of going full speed ahead and re-nationalizing everything, but slapping around their billionaires like this is always gonna be a big plus. Hopefully the day is near where the wealth of Chinese billionaires is reappropriated back to Chinese workers, ideally with support from the Party.
I'm not a public figure, nor a journalist, nor is this even twitter or Facebook. This is a leftist shitposting board. So why do you give so many shits about my opinion of a country I have no influence over?

I'm just sharing my analysis of China's current state and what their path forward looks to be. You should understand that we ought have a consesus on major foreign politics. Do you really want it to just be "Everything is great / Mind your own business"?
The comment is not just at you but is directed at the 70+ people who upvoted you. You can have your opinion, just like I have my own opinion that Western leftists make stupid comments about AES. Like "purging" its capitalist class as if that wont just result in violent counterrevolution and diplomatic isolation in a crucial moment where China is finally exerting soft power and fighting against overt US imperialism. Not to mention the social conditions dont even exist where the majority of the population want to transition to a socialist system.
Sure. It's weird that low effort post I literally made on the shitter at work got the most up votes I've ever gotten. I just was trying to cheer on what I saw was a good thing. I'm not going to scold Xi for not going after Pony Ma immediately after but I'll cheer when he does.
