An excellent and very clear answer comrade, but don't you have any book recommendations that are more on the commenter's level? Roland Boer is great but it takes a pretty advanced level of political econ and history knowledge to grasp. Do you know of any simpler books on the subject? Or would you recommend just listening to Hasan Piker to someone at that stage of the journey?
Not cowbee but, at this commenters level the most on his level suggestion I can think of after reading his comments is that he should try hit himself in the head with a brick repeatedly until he forgets everything he knows and start over.
He needs to wash his brain, you could even say.
Oh come on!
(You had me in the first half ngl)
Roland Boer's work is useful because it's meticulously well-researched and sourced. Unfortunatley, for someone actively hostile to the idea of democracy in China, simple works are easily tossed aside as "propaganda."
Do you have a pdf for Boer's book on SWCC? I've wanted to read it but haven't been able to find it.
This should work! Socialism with Chinese Characteristics: A Guide for Foreigners

No problem!
