> This is very much not true. For one, there's rampant consumer capitalism, very little social net, no tens of millions starving to death, and something like 10-100x more personal income.

Is this a list of four different differences? Under Mao, when tens of millions of people starved to death, how much of a social net was there?

Yes four separate differences.

Under Mao, despite an ostensibly strong social net, many still starved to death. I intentionally listed those two together because Mao time was not so great for many.
