    Communism isn’t bad, it just crumples as soon you put anything but saints in charge of it.

    I’m not entirely sure anything works better in a long-term scenario though :)

      AES leaders have never been “saints,” no human has been, but the Socialist systems nevertheless have resulted in robust systems with dramatic improvements in the lives of their people. The PRC is an example, I wouldn’t call Xi a perfect saint but the Socialist system itself works well.
