Anark does (in my view) a well-cited and very polite refutation of Socialism4All’s response to one of his off-the-cuff videos, and a vastly more polite response to BadEmpanada than he deserves.

we’re far away from the state withering away but i would think that comes about as a series of people standing up and saying we don’t need some state organ anymore until there’s no coercion left.
It could also just whither from a lack of material basis. There’s no need for cops that harass and harm the unhoused if everyone is housed. Remove enough roles from the police via their material underpinnings and policing itself will cease to exist. Of course we rightly hate cops now including the reason I cited and there will be struggle, but the stronger aspect is to completely undo the material forces behind the state.
I hope it works out, I do think there’s going to be issues with the tech sector there. They’re not quite as well leashed as some of the other significant ones. It seems a freer hand has been taken to try rapidly develop to rival the US/Korea/taiwan in software, hardware, and lithography. Winding that back might be difficult but the companies have much less influence over law than in other countries with huge high tech sectors so finger’s crossed.
The current leaders seem more committed to socialism than some recent ones which is cool, although the removal of term limits might backfire when it comes to succession. We shall see.
I’m no scholar of china, I’m open to being corrected on my opinion of some of the risks and looming obstacles.
