The rise in the standard of living in China is directly correlated with their adoption of a free market and dispensing with collectivism.

Why not tour Saudi Arabia and come back with a report about how people there live?

I wasn't making any claim about the lives of people in Saudi Arabia... my only claim is that it is an absolute monarchy, it is still around and not close to collapse, and is an ally of the US. All of those things are objectively true. It isn't only democratic countries that have survived.
