    If China and Russia are anything to go by, I want none of that revolution

    Before the revolution, China had regular famines. Today they have none and have experienced one of the highest increases in living quality in human history.

    The same phenomenon applied to the USSR (before Yeltsin’s coup undid all that and caused the largest drop in life expectancy outside of a war).
