No I think you're just in an echochamber that didn't wanna go full doomer because of how capitalist the entire world is. You wanted some hope for socialism so you clung onto China for false hope.

A shill is someone paid to advocate for something or who has a material interest in fooling others.

For me it's like 5% desperately clinging onto China for false hope, 20% not wanting global thermonuclear war, and 75% the global poverty alleviation they've been achieving both domestically and worldwide.
