This is a serious question, I want to understand your views. I know very little about the Chinese system, but from what I know it doesn’t seem to be very communist at all, but rather a capitalist state to rival the US. Why do you all defend it so viciously?
The whole problem arises from the misconception that “markets” or “market mechanisms” are anti-socialist or non-socialist or that they are intrinsically capitalist. Yet the replication of a market for socialism is just that: using the same mechanics to boost productivity. In addition: Vietnam and Laos have done the same thing. And China has neighborhood committees, unions, and cooperatives that work with the government. I would suggest watching Bay Area415’s video on the subject.

Was just gonna link this as a good introductory vid.
@QCry@lemmygrad.ml Socialism with Chinese Characteristics (SWCC), is quite a rabbit hole, and there’s a LOT of misconceptions and falsehoods about it, esp since China is the target of this new cold war.
Once you get some time, here’s a lot of readings / articles I’ve compiled.
The problem is people have read more Maoist theory than they have Deng Xiaoping Thought or Xi Jinping Thought.
Of course, why would I waste my time reading garbage?
You admit your stupidity. You call it garbage, but also admit to never having read it.
That is un-critical, un marxist.
No investigation, no right to comment.
It’s hilarious how these so called “Maoists” basically do everything that Mao was against. Nothing says “dialectical” quite like worshiping a guy instead of actually reading any theory he wrote and only reading “interpretations” of what he wrote like he was some kind of prophet.
comrade @bayarea415@lemmygrad.ml has a video about it as well
