Gotcha, so some form of socialism at minimum. You should check out the link to how the PRC functions.

The problem with outright socialism is it always gets toppled, because your success is a threat to the entire world order, and foreign governments can make offensive decisions at a faster rate than you can make defensive ones, since your big decisions have to filter through more eyes and hands in the name of fairness.

When we’re talking about entire countries, we have to be more pragmatic than idealistic, or our plans just don’t work sadly.

China is still here, and still socialist, and it isn't leaving. This is because of Democratic Centralism, a fast and cohesive way to adapt to changing conditions while retaining democratic input. For less urgent decisions, the PRC has slower, more comprehensive, bottom-up systems, while it focuses more on a top-down approach for system-wide changes and direction. It's kinda like "top down, from the bottom up."

I agree with pragmatism over idealism, that's why I'm a communist and push for socialism. Socialism is immensely practical.
