With China’s popularity rising, there has to come a point where a country’s population decides to say:
“We need to follow a Marxist-Leninist model pronto if we want to remain a functioning society, because capitalism isn’t working anymore.”
Which country is gonna say it first?

    “We need to follow a Marxist-Leninist model pronto if we want to remain a functioning society, because capitalism isn’t working anymore.”

    Aaah, the over-simplification of highly complicated changes

    As Lenin said in his eponymous Imperialism book, it would be in the nation who “is the weakest link in the chain”

    Now ehich nation would that be? Hard to say without devoting some serious scholarly dia-mat analysis.

    For now, Burkina Faso is a shining beacon in africa. I have hope for the burkinabé.

    marxism isn’t going to emerge because of china’s popularity. revolutions would occur if imperialism wasn’t constantly doing black ops to kill every single last communist and their mother.

    if i had to guess, it’d be somewhere in south east asia, but who knows, maybe if we don’t have genocide sam in latam a few countries here could do with a revolution.

      Latin America is my vote, could happen in Mexico, I would have voted Argentina better Milei, and maybe Venezuela before Trump.

      Truthfully though, I think we’re locked in, globally, permanently to Capitalism and right wing ideology into the end of humanity now for deeply complex reasons.

      The game changed drastically this year and most people are just not aware how literally impossible it is to change.

        well, tbh we’re going back to 2001 after milei’s finished so we’ll probably be so fubar that anything could happen, if the communist party here organizes a bit lol.

        but yeah, people don’t realize how deeply embedded the cia is involved in latam. even moderately left wing people are persecuted all across the region in one way or another, if we think about political figures in the pink wave for example.

    You could start by identifying the successful Marxist-Leninist country. I don’t think there is one.

      Cuba… If being able to withstand an embargo by the most powerful nation on Earth for decades and still managing to outperform them on healthcare, education and life expectancy is not “successful”, I don’t know what is…

      i hope you enjoy becoming the 51st state because brainworms this extensive can only lead to annexation by the us empire.

      lol, china is biggest world economy. the soviet took a famine ridden feudal country and turned it into a global power. meanwhile kkkanadians are clapping literal nazis in parliament. keep coping while your burger reich overlords annex your settler colony and you spend all of you wage on a 2m2 appartment.

        I don’t think westerners would want to live in a country like China. If that’s the case, why don’t people just immigrate there?

          Because uprooting your life and moving to a different country is really hard to do as anybody with even a minimally functioning brain would understand?

          “if your country is so bad why don’t you move” sorta vibes

          but to answer your question, westerners have no idea what china actually is.

            We completely agree on that. Westerners cannot conceptualize what China is really like.
