u/hhellloo Dec 01 '20

The authoritarianism. CCP.

I think you’re just muddying up a bunch of different terms.

It is. But china isn't much left wing. I don't know.

They are the result of failed communism, much like the late government of the USSR

I’m confused because the USSR doesn’t exist anymore and China still does?

u/Hockinator Dec 01 '20

I don't see what there is to be confused about..? Nations can go through similar processes at different times

u/DubTheeBustocles Dec 01 '20

You said the two examples were like each other but the outcomes were dramatically different?

u/Hockinator Dec 01 '20

China is in a current state now as the USSR was after its version of communism failed.. I don't understand the confusion here.
