        How exactly is USSR succeeded by PRC? And how exactly 70 years is not pathetic if history has countless countries that existed for many centuries and some even existed for several millenia? Egypt existed for like 3000 years. I guess absolute monarchy is just that better than communism

          The PRC is Socialist, and is continuing the application of Marxism-Leninism as they overtake everyone else. As for the Soviet Union, it lasted long enough to prove Socialism works, ans managed to assist with national liberation movements worldwide.

              In a way, yes, the US Empire is the current world hegemon, but it really succeeds the UK. Either way, the length of a system doesn’t determine its effectiveness, moreover the PRC is showing no signs of collapse.
