Do you support sustainability, social responsibility, tech ethics, or trust and safety? Congratulations, you’re an enemy of progress. That’s according to the venture capitalist Marc Andreessen.

Because capitalist countries keep using their massive wealth to dismantle socialist/communist countries. Just look at the history of US interventions in Latin/South America, which replaced a lot of democratically elected leftists with murderous dictators so we could have cheaper bananas.

Also it's a lot harder to create a system that works for everyone instead of an oligarchy run by the wealthy. The reason so many countries slide into capitalism is because it's a pit that self-interested parties are constantly trying to drag people in

Is China dismantled? No, the CCP enshittified their country all by themselves.

China is hardly the ideal country for any Leftist who is not a tankie.

But they are socialist and successful. You don't get to real Scotsman every example that doesn't fit your narrative

The number of billionaires in China is increasing, the fact that they're enshittifying is because they're getting more capitalist not less

If American Leftists don't wish to recreate China, then China is hardly what they stand for; they are not responsible for what people on the other side of the planet have done, and are not obligated to answer for their decisions over the last 60 years.

It was called the Cold War... jeez, you guys love trotting out one side of a conflict.
