Yup, social democracy and unions were concessions capitalism stopped making once there was no competing ideology after the collapse of communism (current Chinese "Communism" isn't even Fascism as that still had SOME social benefits). I do still think our best hope is do what we did with FDR which is "I don't care about your shitty party, give us material long term policy concessions, and then we can talk"

Not to imply that China is a utopia—as none can exist—but most of our understanding of it comes filtered through Cold War II propaganda, which, in the rear-view mirror, will look about as ham-fisted as the first Cold War’s propaganda does now.
