Funny thing is 99% of the "plastic crap" is literally built in a communist country, which outcompetes the west, and is increasingly doing so in all fields, and produces more ethically (though that is also a matter of the world system we live in), efficiently, and environmentally than the west.

The Chinese proles are increasingly eating better, living better, having better stuff at cheaper prices, having better homes (in contrast to the west where home ownership is out of sight for an increasingly large share of the population), and it's all thanks to communism, to the dictatorship of the proletariat being upheld, and delivering such wondrous results for its people.
