    The large majority of those who lived in the USSR regret its fall. When socialism was ended, poverty skyrocketed and the economy collapsed. The USSR was socialist, I never once said they reached communism (no matter how much you love inventing my words). It was not a “totalitarian dictatorship,” no matter how much you keep asserting that it was. I know people that think Donald Trump was sent by God to save the world, anecdotes don’t mean anything.

    The PRC has a socialist market economy. It isn’t devoid of private property, but public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy. It’s in the developing stage of socialism:

    None of your points were based on anything I said, or anything other than your anecdotes. You aren’t being serious here. I’ve spoken to people with the opposite opinion from you who lived in the USSR for longer than you have, and that isn’t hard evidence either.
