This is silly. Because even if Xi is a secret capitalist roader revisionist etc, which I don’t believe, he probably could explain dialectical materialism, having been raised and educated about Marxism.
Like Viktor Orban or Vladimir Putin could probably explain dialectical materialism, having both grown up under communism and being former communist party members. But obviously neither are communist.
I honestly don’t understand why diamat is treated like some mysterious and inscrutable thing in the west. I recall Chomsky also has this comment how he doesn’t know what it is. Yet, people seem to have no problem understanding terms like thermodynamics, selections pressures, or emergent phenomena. It just seems like a case of a term intentionally being made out to be difficult to understand to discourage people from trying.

Chomsky saying he has no clue what dialectics is and no intention of finding out is a masks off moment.
absolutely
Apparently creationists learning biology enough to pass university level tests without believing the content is common enough
