I really don’t get the Deng love in modern (supposedly ML circles)
I think it’s obvious (if you consume any Chinese media) that Dengs reform led to the full on capitalist relations. Under Mao it was considered degenerate to have a mistress yet modern day China has fully restored this “mistress/concubine” mentality back into the men there
Deng was a full restoration of capitalism just without the political reform. As the Chinese said doing both at the same time would be suicide like the USSR did
So they kept the DOTP in this new revisionist form. After the 2008 crash there has been a revival of Marxism in the Chinese Communist Party but they still are not the defacto largest faction
That’s my take anyway. I’d be interested to hear why so many people love Deng when Marxist-Leninists had essentially scientifically analysed him in the 80s to understand his revisionism and counter-revolution
Like on this ML journal on Chinese revisionism…What has been written that’s new to upend these criticisms?

There is no “Deng love” though; it’s literally unpopular to like Deng Xiaoping.
Also, Revolutionary Democracy is a Maoist website.
