It’s extra bad because the Soviets had already experienced similar problems under Stalin decades prior and their advisors were pushing China to avoid them, although in a way China probably reasonably found subordinating and condescending. That brought about the Sino Soviet split. While that might not have been one of the biggest factors, it definitely didn’t help. Ironically, while Mao failed to learn from Stalin’s mistakes, future leaders reversed course on a lot of Stalinist and Maoist policies. China became an industrial world power. I guess we’ll see where it goes from here.

That does seem a bit young for that. Did it make sense to you at that age?

Anticapitalist Meowth is to Pokémon what Puffins are to birds.

This, for me, was the least realistic thing about the entire franchise. Really broke the suspension of disbelief.
