Why would communist support capitalists like Putin and Xi-Jinping which aren’t better than Liberal-capitalists ?

I am all in for stopping liberal capitalism, but I am more interested in implementing a happinex index like Buthan than living in oligarch-capitalist-regime like Russia/China

    This is a ridiculously loaded question.

    The use of the dollar as a big stick for military base expansion and funding of forever wars across the world is directly threatened by the creation of a multipolar world. While Russia has amble things that can be criticized for, there is critical support as the defeat of NATO forces combined with the expansion of BRICS and China’s BRI has created space for many countries in the world to cease their dependence on the united states while ending the funding of a military that authoritatively declared itself the world police.

    Based on this data I would come to the conclusion that China is doing a good job, not to mention Covid-19 where majority of the western countries subjected large amounts of the population to a disease and continues to make allowances for anti-vaccine misinfo advocates.

    Chinese homeownership is 89% compared to the united states 65% under Xi Jinping’s tenure

    Chinese poverty has continued to decrease under Xi Jinping’s tenure

    Chinese literacy rate has continued to increase and is higher than the United States

    Chinese maternal mortality rate has continued to decrease while the Untied States is increasing

    China’s homicide rate has continued to decrease while the United States is increasing

    China’s suicide rate has continued to decrease while the United States is increasing

      Don’t get me wrong, I don’t say that US are great or whatever. I say that as a socialist, modern China is pretty far from the kind of society I would like to build, and just like I blame some comrade for falling in the social liberal trap, I blame others for falling in the anything against US is good trap

        Critical support exists, and my point is that socialism with Chinese characteristics seems to be doing a pretty good job.
