    Just want to add, the CPC is Marxist and is working off of Marxist economics. Their party ideology is Marxism-Leninism Xi Jinping Thought, which is Marxism-Leninism applied to modern China’s conditions and under Xi Jinping.

    Now, that doesn’t mean it’s some Utopia, and that also doesn’t mean it’s a far-future Communist society, just that they are in the early stages of Socialism.

      They’re not in the early stages of socialism, they’re in the end stages of state-capitalism.

        They have a Socialist Market Economy, they never abandoned Socialism, just course-corrrected from losing sight of Materialism and trying to achieve Communism through fiat, rather than by builsing up the productive forces.

      How does the Tienanmen Square massacre fit into Marxism-Leninism ideology?

      And who wrote about this “stage” of Marxist-Leninism that makes capitalism is legal and labour unions are illegal? Would that be the ruling party that’s dominated by billionaires?
