yes it was too centralized

but Mao didn't know enough about smaller details

he wasn't an expert in these sorts of things

those are like 2015/2016 dates

and the people doing it had no idea what they were doing

plebs

like the time Mao told everyone to increase steel production

so they started melting down chairs and spoons and stuff

in their back yards using homemade furnaces 😄

the only way this would work is with massive industry

and China was painfully lacking in industry

it was a peasant country basically

TOMORROW BELONGS TO ME!!

and the Chinese lacked industrial level farming

another reason why it didn't work

Chinese peasants were still using old methods of farming

and largely subsistence

why are you so obsessed with chinese communism

me?

whoever is talking about it

Yes, that can be said for leaders in general. Maybe he wasn't so smart after all? Perhaps he should've gotten some good advisors.

I hear Stalin got some economic advisors who he never listened to. Kim il Sung got some economic nerds to manage his personal finances, now he's dead, they manage NK's foreign investments.

I dunno who that might be

could be me

You're rarely see this shit with absolute monarchs, that's the thing.

Why is that?

in which case, I'm not really, I've studied China but have kinda glossed over the CCP history

if peterson hates communism so much why did he name his daughter after gorbuchev

Maybe because Monarchs ruled over more decentralised, fuedal societies?

because Gorbachev ended the USSR maybe?

but JBP was actually a Socialist back in the day

a Progressive

Mao was really smart

@fuguer Fell in 1991, but by 1990, the USSR were already planning a transition to a market economy.
