I dislike lolicons… but they're not nearly as bad as real paedophiles.

Unfortunately it is, and one would be hard pressed to find any country of national liberation movements that maintains a Soviet style economy today.
They can't be blamed for it exactly, nonetheless, because the latter half of the 1900s was a more and more difficult time for socialists, and for all the slander of their socialist systems that is correctly debunked here, conditions have been undeniably improved, even under reform, from those times. Without a superpower such as the Soviet Union, what choice was there for them.
If China had cleaved to the path that it took in the first decades of its reestablishment, even when the conditions were more and more inhospitable for socialism, undoubtably the blame for the miserable state of affairs would eventually fall upon socialism, as occurred in the USSR in the 90s. At the least now, for all the attendant problems of reform and openin and the capitalist infiltration, the youth can have the maneuvre room to reevaluate the legacy of the earlier revolutionary years more positively, without the spectre of poverty to be used against them.
