If China is the kind of socialism you all are talking about, I'm good.
Why? The PRC is making rapid scientific progress in production, infrastructure, green energy development, multilateral trade, and is wildly popular among its working class for the great achievements socialism has brought them. The large firms and key industries are state run, while the secondary and light industry has diverse forms of ownership from private to cooperative to joint-stock. Already, while being only in the primary stage of socialism, they are surpassing the US Empire.
The PRC's Socialism with Chinese Characteristics is merely one form of socialism, it just happens to be the presently most advanced form of it. Other countries like Cuba have similar but different forms of socialism.
Cuba seems the best example to me. PRV is not a great place for many of it's residents, and certainly not a life I want to live.
Why do you say that the PRC isn't a great place to live, and not a life you want to live? The overwhelming majority of Chinese citizens support their system and believe it's on the correct track, they are by far the most developed socialist country presently.
