Whatever flaws modern China may have, nothing will ever diminish how historic of an achievement this is. What China managed to do in going from 1949 to what it is today is nothing short of a miracle.
I’m making this post because quite frankly, at this point, i just don’t care anymore for the constant nitpicking and purity testing that i have to constantly read and hear from western leftists.
I just want this for the entire global south. If it means that a people who have suffered so much in their history get to finally live like human beings with dignity, happiness and prosperity, i don’t give a fuck that they aren’t “doing socialism right”.
Call them nationalists, call them revisionists, call them liberals, call them whatever names you like, fact is one and a half billion people are now living in a modern, developed, stable, peaceful and increasingly prosperous society.
Long live the Communist Party of China and long live the People’s Republic!
I just don’t get how you can read the theory and then disparage China. These ultras and “Maoist” types are guilty of the same sort of idealistic crap that liberals and fascists build their worldviews on in my opinion, even if they are well meaning.
China isn’t perfect, but unlike so many other nations and political movements around the world, they know they aren’t perfect and are always improving.
Marxism-Leninism isn’t snap your fingers and make communism. It’s material analysis done by proletarian dictatorship.
