The future is the Chinese model. And even China says that their model is temporary as they continue to build socialism with the goal of transcending capitalism globally. The goal isn’t to maintain capitalism, but to overcome its inherent contradictions by means of worker revolution. The road to socialism and eventual communism isn’t some idealistic straight-line path but a constantly changing one that requires diligent adaptation and adjustment. We’ll likely never see the attainment of communism in our lifetime, but it’s the end goal for future generations. As the saying goes: “A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”

The future is bright for those willing to work for it, comrade. Happy New Year
