China isn’t capitalist

That's delusional

the working classes are in charge of the state

The party is in charge of the state. The working class have vanishingly little power.

A revolution would be devastating for the Chinese working classes.

That's what the Ruling Class in every country says. Can't let everyday people get too uppity

    It's genuinely sad to see people who have been so traumatized by living in an epicenter of capitalist profiteering, gaslighting propaganda, and government violence that they can't imagine a society that doesn't work that way. You think this is a normal way for a government to be, and you think the smart thing to do is assume everyone is like the US.

    Well I'm imagining a classless, borderless society where everyone's needs are met and it is fantastic.

    You think this is a normal way for a government to be

    Nothing about the US government is normal unless in the context of an Empire rapidly approaching the point of collapse.

    and you think the smart thing to do is assume everyone is like the US

    I have enough knowledge to know that in both better and worse situations, other countries do things often very different and assume as much but try not to assume details. Luckily I'm well read.
