I know there are differences between Deng’s China and, say, Gorbachev’s USSR or post 1986 Vietnam, but I’m not sure what they are. I suspect it has to do with control by a principled party but I could be off. Can someone help?

Edit: to clarify, I’m not one of those who will say “China and America??? Basically the same!!!” or that Deng is revisionist. Was just more curious about what the reforms were in both examples and how they fall in a Marxist analysis

    The CPC holds the belief that advanced socialism can only emerge through the laws of economic development under the DotP.

    It’s frustrating that this is a controversial take among internet leftists.

      Because MLs who call market reforms revisionist have unwittingly bought into the mawkish utopianism of the anarchists.
