    If you look at China and go “this is perfect in every way and we should copy it,” then you aren’t actually learning anything at all

    MLs do not hold this view. China isn’t perfect, and copying their model completely wouldn’t work at all. The Soviet Union, China, and the DPRK all use different models of socialism.

      You say this, but I have met MLs (not on lemmy) who tout the DPRK as a utopia and shut down all of my criticism as western brainwashing.

      I feel both our perspectives are anecdotal and the real answer lies between our observations.
