Hey, I want to precise that I’m not ML but I want to understand how it is nowadays. TBH I’m interested into politics but since I’m a bit young I don’t have all the prerequiste to read all types theory ( I read only simple ones such as The Communist Manifesto), and I prefer to ask concerned people. So I’m wondering how Marxism-Leninism sees political ideas such as Dengism and Juche ?
(Sorry if there’s some problems with how the question is asked, English isn’t my native language)
I very agree on this take about there not being ‘Dengism’; Deng was not the parties ideological machine, just the appointed and voted in instrument who served the chinese peoples vote.
Every time I read Deng im always surpised by his utter dedication, when he was in his 80s he tried to quit the party three times while being chair but everytime he was denied; he spent his last years trying to implement retirement for senior communist party officals and again failed, because the will and votes of the people recongised him as the most stable pair of hands.
