Things have gotten better and progress has been made from times past, it just seems worse now because we have more access to information. We’ve come far, and have further to go!

    What? How did china get people out of poverty?

    Edit: They didnt. After a long journey we found out that china is boasting about how all chinese citizens are now above 1 dollar a day aka. EXTREME poverty(in 2011) Aparrently this is an achievement and not incredibly sad.

    Also Guildo is a CCP Shill.

          Oh I bet it was and they’ll just ignore the great famine as being some natural thing that just happened and wasn’t due to the policies of the CCP.

          That’s how everyone I’ve met that has talked about the CCP raising people from poverty have posed it.

            " For example, the World Bank draws a higher poverty line for upper-middle-income countries, which tries to reflect economic conditions. It sets this at $5.50 a day. China is now an upper-middle-income country, says the bank.

            About a quarter of China’s population is in poverty, according to this metric. For comparison, this is slightly higher than Brazil.

            And there is widespread income inequality. Last year, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said China still had 600 million people whose monthly income was barely 1,000 yuan ($154). He said that was not enough to rent a room in a city.

            The great leap forward is the reason so many people from extreme poverty died and reversing those changes is not liftig people out of poverty but reversing changes that put people in extreme poverty.".

            Yes, by 1980 third world country standards china has a 0.7 percent poverty rate. Thats ignoring 40 years of development of the rest of the world. And also that china is not a third world country anymore.

            Go move into a Tofu Dreg Highrise and tell me how good it looks from up there.

              You’re talking all the time like China is still a third world country. You have to decide.

                    Reversing policies that killed millions and is the reason for 800 million people being in extreme poverty does only exist in china. Yes.
                    And being less shit is not a success story.

      The real answer is probably opening to state controled capitalism and globalization, becoming the factory of the world for a couple of decades.

        And reversing most of the things that mao did.
        He killed over 50 million people and caused a braindrain in china that no following leader has managed to fix. The fact that china got everyone over the extreme poverty line in 2020 is sad. A marketleader like china shouldnt have anyone in extreme poverty.
