whenever i read about the fall of the eastern bloc, and the brutality of the restoration of capitalism, idk it makes capitalist restoration theory wrt china look so misguided
like sure there's room to talk about china using capital mechanisms and whatnot, but it's not capitalist restoration. it'd be a lot more blatant if it was.

@commie_mommy *looks around for people dropping dead in the streets en masse, a plummeting life expectancy, and record level increases in inequality*

Like you say, incredibly misguided application of that theory. Capitalist restoration made the countries in question look like war zones.
