    Laogai, gulag, same thing.

    Economic growth in China is a true reality, and the reduction of poverty is a true reality too, and a very good one. But Hitler too was economically efficient, at least in the first years, and it doesn’t make Nazism good.

      China has prisons, what’s your point? They don’t have slave labor nor prison labor. The overwhelming majority of Chinese citizens support their socialist system thanks to the pro-social policies implemented and the real, material gains. Hitler was not economically efficient, he helped Nazi Germany colonize the surrounding regions, and committed the genocide of 10s of millions of people. Socialism is good because it works, and works for the working classes. Nazism only benefited the ruling capitalists at the expense of mass repressions. What on Earth is this comparison?
