It's all just backwards proofs of "Why is America the greatest country?" or "Why did people vote this way in an election, but cannot be traced back to actionable policies because we don't want to do things?"

There are plenty of good economists, it's just the majority of them suck. Marx was one!

I assume "putting a women in charge of your output" is a particularly roundabout way of suggesting Andrew Tate should get into femdom, which is weird, but ok.

"Authoritarian" is such a thought terminating cliché. Like let's be real here, there's a reason most western leftists would not like to live in China, even if they are actual theory-reading and understanding communists: China is still a developing country and the West is rich as gently caress. If you moved to China your material wellbeing would very likely suffer. Plus you'd have to do a shitton of work to learn the language and understand and try to fit in with the culture. Those are real personal costs, which would be entirely reasonable to see as prohibitive for moving to a country whose system fundamentally aligns with your ideology. This does not change the fact that the CPC is continuing to lift hundreds of millions out of poverty through the development of productive forces and infrastructure, etc etc and thus is A Good Thing. But that feels a bit selfish somehow to say? Like because you're a communist you should be willing to accept all personal sacrifice for the ideological goal? So instead you get leftists parroting blob talking points about "authoritarianism" or whatever to justify themselves. The actually interesting question is "would you prefer to live under your current government, or a CPC-type government in your own country?" And just loving lol if you prefer the neoliberal shitshow that's been in charge my entire lifetime. If that's your honest answer you're not a leftist get the gently caress out of here. And if some idiot tries to get you with "if you like China so much why don't you go live there?" just tell them "because I'm not Chinese you idiot, I like their system and think we should institute something similar here because look at the goddamn results".
