EDIT: no, I don't sympathize with nazis (neither I sympathize with those who call everyone nazi when they're losing an argument ;)

I mean all Hexbear links are essentially the Pravda. It doesn't help when you guys treat Wikipedia like it's somehow the same as conservapedia.com

I don't think census data compiled and verified by the UN DESA is Pravda, a publication which does not exist anymore. I quite like Wikipedia and I think it's a very good way to get a quick introductory understanding of a topic which you've just learned about. In this case it prints a similar graph citing the same data, so I don't know why you would mention it to support your strange argument that China's life expectancy has not significantly improved under communism.

It's not even that outrageous a thing to believe, but you demand that I presume it false because believing that China is a normal country opens the door to believing a whole bunch of other scary things.

Why are you pretending like China is communist when they have several stock exchanges? Is that where you exchange MarxBux?

Shanghai Stock Exchange: http://english.sse.com.cn/

Beijing Stock Exchange: www.bse.cn

Shenzhen Stock Exchange: https://www.szse.cn/English/index.html

That's more stock exchanges than the US, comrade!

I don't really care whether or not China is communist, or if other people think it's communist for various esoteric reasons. It doesn't effect me either way. State Department propaganda and warmongering does effect me though.

Of course you don't care if it is communist. Communism was never the point. Mask comes off that you guys are just authoritarians masquerading as glorious revolutionaries.

No, I'm not Chinese. China is not important to my politics at all. That's like the first thing I said if you scroll up.

All of Hexbear is suburban US kids so of course I knew you didn't live in any of these glorious peoples republics.
