A communist friend of mine recently told me that in china the CPC and government don’t have that much power, and that the ruling class is basically the capitalists. He concludes that he thinks the most likely path china is on is ‘technocratic social democracy’. He doesn’t rule out the possibility of them becoming “”“fully socialist”“” but he thinks the party and government really need to step up their game for this to ever happen. Thoughts on this? I really don’t know what to think, since my impression previously was that the party and govt. had a pretty tight hold on the country and economy.

Edit: I showed him this post and he said “I don’t give an ounce of a fuck about ppl on reddit. I have no time for a website dedicated to trying to suck one’s own cock.” LOL

    Farmers and office workers ARE working class.

      When I say the working class I mean the proletariat, IE those who sell their labor without any administrative control. Presently they only compose 8% of the CPC which is quite low imo. I hope Xi makes it a goal to incorporate more of the proletariat into the CPC in the future

          Would farmers not be regarded as peasants?
