I'm afraid you simple couldn't neither of these countries have the economic influence or capabilities.

>>15723568
Yes you are correct, dialectics moves forward never backward we build upon ideas not dogmatically follow them. Read contradictions by Mao. With each workers movement we iron out the contradictions of the last building workers states subject to the material conditions of each area. Marx was not the universal architect of how socialism should be achieved but simply the foundation.
>>15723577
That's because the West has hundreds years of industrialization and economic plundering from the third world to prop themselves up. Given time China will surpass the West almost definitely and just look how far they have already come putting the whole world to shame. I do not support stateless societies under the current conditions that is simply foolish. We will only ever reach this state if the material conditions allow it and we are nowhere near that point. First we must achieve post scarcity.
>>15723578

Yes you could if it had not been for the fact that Western dogma drew out the unnecessary suffering of working people and often resulted in worse conditions for working people then under feudalism that was only resolved through imperialism and even greater levels of exploitation.

Firstly it's han culture not a race, China is a vastly diverse country in terms of ethnic groups but that really doesn't matter because it is culturally homogeneous meaning it does not have to deal with cultural conflict like we do in the west and the few place it still does will not exist in a generation from now this is just one of many factors such a economic and political that are all contributing towards it's growing success.
>Also why do you think China's stability will last forever? They don't exactly have a great track record for that.
Nothing last's forever but China is certainly going to dominate global politics for the next epoch of human history and naturally they don't have a good record since they had been practicing feudalism in parts up until the second world war and been subject to exploitation by more technologically advanced nations. This is why the achievements of Mao are so impressive.

China is one of the least effected countries by Covid-19, it's governments response what a testament to the overwhelming efficiency of it's state. The Hong Kong protests had little to no effect and are similar in size to that of one day of Black Lives Matter in America. The civil unrest in China is largely a myth, the CIA backed agitators will run out of funding as America continues to collapse and so shall it's aggressive foreign policy. The life expectancy and quality of living in China has substantially grown over the last 10 years and work place satisfaction is far higher then that of the west. The fact that you even equate China's trading relationship and investment in Africa to imperialism is a joke, you are actually suggesting physical indentured servitude, plundering and rape is the same is building infrastructure, investing in local businesses and granting essential loans for bailing out their economies in return for mutually beneficially trading relations.

>The life expectancy and quality of living in China has substantially grown over the last 10 years and workplace satisfaction is far higher than that of the west.
You deserve a medal for accomplishing what everyone else was doing during that time, except with more famines and death camps. The Chinese economy is the difference is that the US Debt doesn't makeup over half its GDP. It's just a house of cards made up of government subsidies and layers upon layers of bad loans. Their "wealth" is almost entirely artificial now, and they already missed their chance to transition from an export lead economy to an internal consumer economy. The first of these problems is their economy, which is the aforementioned house of cards. The entire modern Chinese economy is focused on throughput, not income. That means so long as production rates are up, products are being pumped out, and factories as a whole stay open and keep employing everyone, then it's all good. This is a problem as it operates on two false assumptions; that there will always be an endless supply of cheap labor and there will always be a market to sell those excess goods to. This model operates very similarly to the economic model that lead to the housing market bubble of 2008-07 that caused the Recession, as when a factory fails to turn a profit, the owners will simply take out a loan to cover the losses. Can't cover the loan payments? Just take out another loan to cover the loan payments. So on and so forth. This was facilitated by party officials to favored members and relatives, of course, resulting in a massive increase in lending in the Chinese economy. To put it in a nutshell, the entire Chinese economy, from the agricultural sector to the metalworking sector, is sub-prime. AS it turns out, markets are not bottomless and neither is labor. Labor especially thanks to the oncoming problem of the "4,2,1"

>China's trading relationship and investment in Africa to imperialism is a joke,
China's growth can only be sustained at the end of the day by free, global trade and unrestricted access to global markets, particularly the United State's market, as it still remains to this day as the largest consumer market in Human History. This has started to become an issue, as the US is starting quietly back away from such agreements. Africa Is the next to the best thing and they'll start taking as much as they can to sustain the house of cards.

>One stands there defenseless, with no control over anything. The researcher immediately begins to distract one with his details: Now one is to go to Australia, now to the moon; now into an underground cave; now, by Satan, up the arse—to look for an intestinal worm; now the telescope must be used; now the microscope: Who in the devil can endure it?

>Kierkegaard held strong contempt for the media, describing it as "the most wretched, the most contemptible of all tyrannies".
