Because people doing work need to pay bills and make a living? You also seem to be confused about what capitalism is. A worker selling their own labour is not capitalism. Capitalism is when you use capital to buy up the means of production and then hire workers to work for you and appropriate the value they produce.
Imagine living in year 2025 and not being able to figure out how to find a PDF online. Explains why you’re such an ignoramus I guess.
you gotta love comments from the dummy.world instance
Great, plenty of other economists have concluded the opposite. Here are a few books you can read to educate yourself.
lmfao China does not embrace capitalism even in the slightest, meanwhile Russia’s public sector is almost as big as China’s

No, my point is that less people died overall compared to the way things were previously. It’s incredible that you’re struggling so hard to understand this. You linked wikipedia because skimming through wiki links is peak intellectual engagement for you. I’m glad to see that I won’t have to read more of your drivel going forward. Bye.
I love how when faced with an actual paper showing how life expectancy increased, you counter with wikipedia further highlighting your intellectual prowess. The idiocy of your “argument” is to ignore what life expectancy was like BEFORE the revolution, and the fact that famines were already a common occurrence. If you spend a bit of time actually understanding the subject before opining on it, then you’ll be able to avoid making a clown of yourself in public in the future. Maybe start by actually reading the paper I linked.
Meanwhile in the real world
Between 1950 and 1980, China experienced the most rapid sustained increase in life expectancy of any population in documented global history. We know of no study that has quantitatively assessed the relative importance of the various explanations proposed for this gain in survival. We have created and analysed a new, province-level panel data set spanning the decades between 1950 and 1980 by combining historical information from China’s public health archives, official provincial yearbooks, and infant and child mortality records contained in the 1988 National Survey of Fertility and Contraception. Although exploratory, our results suggest that gains in school enrolment and public health campaigns together are associated with 55-70 per cent of China’s dramatic reductions in infant and under-5 mortality during our study period. These results underscore the importance of non-medical determinants of population health, and suggest that, in some circumstances, general education of the population may amplify the effectiveness of public health interventions.

Should do an AMA on what it’s like to put those clown shoes on every morning.
