First, a societal organization outside the Western norm has no bearing on if it will be successful or not. The "middle" has no superior intrinsic characteristics.
Second, we know Socialism works, the PRC is now becoming the de facto world power as the US falls, all while providing dramatic improvements for its people and increasing levels of satisfaction.
What, specifically, doesn't work?
Well, first, as far as i know China is known to miss report its economical report. But even if that would not be the case.
Human rights dont work there. https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2025/country-chapters/china
Human Rights are overall good in China, and improving steadily.
HRW has ties to the US government, is a revolving door, and refuses to critique US foreign policy.
Not paid by China, I'm just a Marxist-Leninist. I would love to visit or live in China for a year or more, but would want to be back with my family.
Pretty sure I'll only become more Communist, haha. From the Chinese ex-pats I've spoken with, it's very pleasant to live in, and far easier for those without money than in the US.
