True, but they would just reject that dismal reality.
Since Marxism doesn't work as advertised, the Communist Chinese had to progressively incorporate more and more aspects of capitalism just to keep their heads above economic waters. Our leftists KNOW this but they refuse to accept that it is a condemnation of Marxism. This is because they want the world to be how they want it to be; and facts and logic have got nothing to do with anything in the face of their collective mental illness.
