I feel like I don’t hear much internal critique about China from the ML side of things - is this more of a ‘critical support’ posture or are people just generally more optimistic about long-term socialization of their market?

edit: if there are more reading materials that discuss this topic in-depth, I am very interested in recommendations

    Do remember that Parenti wote that book in something like 1997, by then the situation in China looked pretty bleak and also he only had access to western media, where “China is liberalising and is capitalist now” was basically only thing anyone could read, even someone like Parenti who was usually very good with critical analysis of western rags.

    So while he was wrong, i wouldn’t blame him for it.
