• I don’t really think the world can skip capitalist development on the road to socialism and communism. You can’t redistribute the wealth if there is none. I think your analysis is completely correct but it ends before the 1980s when the US destroyed their adversary by exploiting their under development. The big question is will China be able to turn its revolutionary character back on when it becomes necessary or if it collapses into fascism. I think that Chinese socialism is powerful and a character the world has yet to experience so doesn’t know how to analyze and I’d sooner side with it over the US system any day though. I’d prefer a workers system as you described as well.
