    Yeah I’m not gonna use ChatGPT to summarize essays to prove my point like your .ml heroes. You can look up what happened in Detroit in the 50’s and 60’s, actually most manufacturing areas have followed the same trajectory. Something like two-thirds of our manufacturing potential has been lost since ww2 — the reason is consistent for every sector. Globalization allowed for cheap labor overseas to arrest manufacturing from capitalist countries. China as it is never could have existed without capitalism.

    Meanwhile V China was able to go from an agricultural society to an industrial powerhouse.

    Because of the rich men from the U.S. essentially stealing our jobs and giving them to cheap laborers overseas.

    Seems like China’s version of socialism won’t work without the capitialist hegemony in place. Which makes me wonder ‘Is that really socialism?’

    I still don’t think swinging the pendulum to the opposite side will create anything other than differently colored extremes we will all have to face together.

    That being said, I do wonder how much of the perceived ‘failings’ of socialism by capitalists stem from tumultuous periods in countries where any system would be destined to fail — for reasons inherent to those systems (and therefore easily explained away as ‘socialism bad’ when that fledging system collapses).

    I don’t know, am I wrong?
