Oh, gish-gallop! Throwing random bullshit at us with absolutely no sources in the hopes that it will tire us.

Explain to me how killing 30-50 million people is acceptable in this shining example of socialism

Assuming you mean via famine, famine in China was not deliberate, and was common pre-socialism. Socialism ended famine in China, and as a result life expectancy doubled:

How about genocide?

There is no genocide committed by the PRC.

Massacre?

What exactly are you referring to here? The crackdown on the western-backed Beijing riots back in 1989?

What about Tibet?

Tibet was a torturous feudal system built on slavery, backed by the CIA to oppose the rising socialist system in China. The PLA liberated Tibet, and now quality of life for the working classes in Tibet is skyrocketing.

What about the impending invasion in Taiwan?

There is no "impending invasion of Taiwan." Taiwan is internationally recognized as a part of the PRC, and the CPC is waiting on Taiwan to willingly fully reunify with the mainland of their own volition. The US presence on Taiwan makes this difficult.

Are these the everyday normal citizens taking their “control” over their system and saying GO FUCKING LEAVE A TRAIL OF BLOOD HERE AND HERE AND HERE?

It seems most like you support feudalism, slavery, torture, and othet far-right institutions and governments. Yes, ending famine, protecting socialism, and liberating the working classes is worker democracy in practice.

It’s very very easy to point out that China has a brutal and immoral system with very common sense examples.

If your "common sense" is "actually, feudalism and slavery is good" then you need to reconsider your "common sense."

But the truth is obvious.

The truth is indeed obvious, that's why you can't source any of your bullshit.
