Well there's data on drastic standard of living improvements over time and some specific policies that prioritize people over capital. At the same time they're not universal and there's still plenty of labor exploitation, lack of universal safety nets, environment destruction etc. One could find variables pointing to positive movement though, as well as negative. So I think today it's a bit of an open question whether the party gives a shit about their people and how much. And that's why I'm saying it would be interesting to see where they go in 5 years. Are they still building coal power plants or not. How much renewables have they deployed, nuclear, etc.
