Communist countries don't teach the scientific method.

Let me tell you something wild: a lot of people in the East don’t even have a working concept of the scientific method. That’s why they default to maximalist certainty—because they treat inductive pattern-matching as proof, instead of a hypothesis that still needs falsification.

Meanwhile, in the West, we act intimidated by the “unfalsifiable capability” of communism. But most of what’s actually happening on the ground is far less mystical: at best, they’re translating Ben Graham and trying to bolt value-investing logic onto state-owned enterprises.
