    That’s just more nonsense since none of the core industry was ever privatized or left up to the markets. You are as ignorant as you’re bullheaded.

    Also, imagine being so historically illiterate to claim that communists in China made "suffering much worse. This is presumably what you’re referring to.

    And what else is there to tell you if you can’t even understand how Walmart example is relevant to the discussion of whether centralization is effective or not.

      Uhmm, did you actually look at the graphs on that paper you just linked? It clearly shows extremely high levels of infant mortality during the civil war period and another big spike during the “great leap” period, both of which were the result of the CCP trying to enforce their authoritarian idea of a state.

      Afterwards it slowly declines with the enacting of market-based policies… which exactly supports the argument I am trying to make.
