What the difference between socialist China and capitalist India means for 2.8 billion people

Too many people treat it as an academic exercise to claim that China is capitalist and therefore we should not choose between it and other countries.

In this video, leading Indian Marxist Vijay Prashad explains what the difference between socialist China and capitalist India really means for 2.8 billion people. It is a literal life and death issue.

The ‘Western’ left has to lift itself to understanding what the choice between socialism and capitalism means for the overwhelming majority of the world’s people who live in developing countries.

This video is part of a conversation that Vijay Prashad had with CODEPINK co-founder Jodie Evans (streamed on 24 August 2020). The full conversation can be found at https://youtu.be/u6aXi9nYqFg and was an episode of CODEPINK’s ‘China Is Not Our Enemy’.
