          Why does the west spend millions trying to topple China if they’re not communists. Why is China immune to recession if they’re not communist. Why have living standards risen for decades in China if they’re not communist (which meanwhile hasn’t happened in the west also in decades, with even the Nordic model going downhill)

          You don’t even have to read theory. This should be obvious

          But if you could read theory (your reading level might actually be too low to understand Lenin or Marx or Mao, this isn’t an insult, most westerners have a 6th grade reading level) you’d see thousands of pages of theory as to why capitalism was introduced.

          You don’t want to read or think tho, you wanna say gommunism no. No gommunism. You also won’t read liberal theory to discover how bloodthirsty it is either or anarchist or really anything

          I suggest starting with State and Revolution by Lenin if you’re actually able to read better than a 19th century peasant. You’d be shocked how accurately he just describes reality as it is now

            Why are you so angry bud? Me not taking what the government calls itself as gospel truth hardly warrants being called a 19th century peasant.

            What did China start doing in the 80s that they didn’t do from the 50s through most of the 70s?

                How many of them were Russians? Russia was the biggest part of the USSR and they didn’t dissolve the union but the other (smaller) states left.

                  The referendum did not include the states that already left (like the Baltic states and Armenia). Russia was the largest state but they actually were one of the lowest who voted to keep (above 70% I believe). The central Asian states voted the highest to keep the union (over 90%). Belarus and Azerbaijan were also very high.

                  The dissolution was not only illegal but clearly against the will of the people.
