Answer:
Explanation:
Actual existing communism requires two basic elements:
Emotionally mature citizens who are willing to make sacrifices and share with others
An honest, competent government trusted to act as a neutral arbiter shaping national consensus.
Russia possessed neither of these elements in 1911 and did not develop them sufficiently to ensure the development of communism.
China possesses both. Its Confucian tradition inculcates sharing and mutual sacrifice and its governance tradition has always produced trusted governments that act as neutral arbiters shaping national consensus.
China is also patient: it allowed 100 years to elapse after Mao founded the CCP in 1921 before reaching the first pre-condition for communism: modest but general prosperity and harmony, a society. In 2021 every Chinese will have a home, a job, plenty of food, education, safe streets, health- and old age care, 300,000,000 urban Chinese will have more net worth and disposable income than the average American, their mothers and infants will be less likely to die in childbirth, their children will graduate from high school three years ahead of American kids and live longer, healthier lives and there will be more more homeless, poor, hungry and imprisoned people in America than in China.
