Sure, Hari. But could you not say the same about the USSR in the 30's? I think China is perhaps more contradictory in that the relative standard of the urban masses is higher (positive) but at the expense of removal of the iron rice bowl and greater inequality (negative). What is your view of the Godels article which began this thread? I posted it because I appreciated his understanding of the PRC "as a complex creation with a complex– often contradictory– relationship with other countries as well as the socialist project" and conclusion that "the cause of socialism is ill served by either ignoring or exaggerating both missteps and victories in the PRC’s revolutionary path.” -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
