Why do so many right wing/ white nationalist accounts on x insist China is not communist?
>>216014648define communism first. China is exceptionally business-friendly for a "communist" country.
Because It isnt? China's just a capitalist country where the state göhas nationalized all companies.
Communism is when you make my nike shoes and poop emoji pillows
People believes communism = soviet planned economy.That said, china isn't even ideologically marxist, dengism and china in general have nationalist undercurrents that much like other global south countries have cloaked under the appearence of communism/socialism.
>>216014672It’s not capitalist. It’s literally run by a communist party
>>216014707>It’s literally run by a communist partyYou know that doesnt mean anything right? The workers dont own the means of production in china. china doesnt even have a free elections meaning the workers cant even choose who leads them.
>>216014707see >>216014671define communism
>>216014648It's state capitalism now. Has been since Deng. Communism is dead.
>>216014707And the D in DPRK stands for Democratic. What's in a name?
>>216014707It's communist the way the UK is monarchist. On paper and nothing else.

>>216014648Because China's success has become undeniable so admitting that China is communist means admitting that communism has, at least in one instance, been successful. Boomer conservatives base their entire personalities around being "anti-communist" so this is something they can never admit and they cope by claiming that China isn't communist.
>>216014648Schrodinger's China states that China is simultaneously communist and capitalist, and that the country deviates between each economic model based on the author's belief and whether they're criticizing or praising the country.So a right-winger who is praising China and a left-winger who is critiquing China will both claim that it has a capitalist economic model.A left-winger who praises China and a right-winger that critiques China will both claim that it's communist.
>>216014707And North-Korea is democratic. Just look at their name.
>>216015306this, it's all empty rhetoric
OH NO THEY ARE COMMUNISTOH NO THEY ARE CAPITALISTwesterners don't have the vocabulary nor thought to visualize systems rather than dogmait is only black or white, they would attempt to solve an algebraic problem with trigonometrysocrates would be proud
>>216014648At this point, everyone outside of china thinks china is based and is actually an example of [insert favorite authoritarian form of goverment]Part of it is because most chinese political writing is in chinese and so it is largely inscrutable to people who can't read chinese

why cant the american brain understand nuances?
>>216015409This.
>>216015415Yes so they project what they like or hate to china same as japan
>>216015409Chine is follows the Fa school of thought pioneered by Han Feizi. Confucians will deny it but it's true>>216015558indeed
>>216014648They're much closer to some type of authoritarian, centralized hyper capitalist dystopia than a communist dystopia. So calling them communist is just wrong.
china is a state run command economy its just cope, ussr worked fine when stalin was alive, ccp runs fine now, communism is supposedly this major boogeyman about to take over while simultaneously is supposedly inept and cant work, either its a threat that can takeover or a nothingburger joke that dosent work cant be both

>>216015306correct take
>>216014648they are correct chinese proletariat have much less rights than workers in most of capitalist countries
>>216015306Have personal property = not commie
>>216015594Fa is literally just law and orderYet low level chinese officials often are corrupt, so where is law and order?Systems are constructed by where power consolidatesin China, that is XJPin America, that is some part Trump, some part various interest groupsThe consolidated power (or philosopher king), imagines the path forward for the country, and constructs the systems in place to take the country there.A failed country can thus be attributed to a failed philosopher king, or a rotted systemThere is no such thing as a system that can be named, it is built of various small moving mechanisms called policies.
Communism is a capitalistic theory. Marxism doesn’t seek to eradicate capital, it merely argues that the means of the production should fall to those that actually produce things.
>>216014648They can't admit communism won after all the efforts of capitalism to defeat it
>>216015697>centralized hyper capitalist dystopiaThat's the funny thing, China's economy is much more decentralized than others would think. Local municipalities take stakes into companies by offering office space, tax credits or other forms of subsidies. That's why there's 400+ brewing companies in the country.
>>216015889I meant that mr Xi can just shit on their companies and dissapear their ceos whenever he wants, he allows them to roam free until he doesn't. Although this is kinda true for most countries, but doesn't happen as often and as blatantly as in CHYna.
>>216015306This. Every other explanation in this thread is retarded.The most accurate (but still incomplete) answer is that they're neither capitalist nor communist, but Leninist.
If you ask them they'll say they are communist and their state is socialist, obviously there's insane amounts of revisionism and copium to justify the "with chinese characteristics" part, but their rhetoric remains Marxist. Whether this means Marxism is just a shell of an ideology that can be resignified to best serve the self-proclaimed marxists' interests, or that is so easily corruptible that it will forever exist only in theory no matter how hard they try, makes little difference for practical purposes.
If you actually read the history of China, you'll find they only begrudgingly abandoned the central plan model after they borderline collapsed the country. China in the late 70s was decentralized and in chaos after the cultural revolution. The central government then spent the entirely of the 1980s trying, and then failing, to wrangle the country back into line. Free market economic reforms were started from the bottom and worked their way up. The peasants themselves ended collectivization in order to avoid starvation, the free market in Guangdong got its start with unregistered businesses and smugglers operating illegally. The government would try to clamp down on it, and the peasants would either beat the government commissars to death and hang their bodies from the rafters, or bribe them away. Deng Xiaoping spent the early 80s trying to crush the nascent free market and bring things along a more Soviet line. Westerners who met with him didn't find him to be the open minded, curious reformer that they now portray him as, they found him to be aloof, overly optimistic and highly sycophantic during the early meetings, still brainwormed on a marxist mentality. Eventually the Chinese government just gave in and legitimized what they couldn't stop, and then made out it was all part of a master plan retroactively. After that they did indeed try to guide and direct the free market, but they really only committed to this after around 1997.So the story as to whether China is Communist and Capitalist can be explained best by the fact that there was an unspoken third Chinese revolution that ended Marxist Leninism in China.
>>216016057>and dissapear their ceos whenever he wantsthat's a good thing
Because the Chinese aren't dogmatic when it comes to their Economic Policies and Goals and have recognized that they need to open up their nation and move away to Communist-style economic policies if they want to advance later on.
>>216014648jeet claws typed this post
If China's so great, why don't they ever post here? Why do they always go to Australia or Singapore to post here?
>>216014648because it isn't ever since comrade Deng decided to be sensible and lowkey admitted communism is retarded
>>216015306Thread should've ended here.
>>216014648China is just the celestial empire rebooted to be able to deal with the modernization introduced by whytu piggu
>>216014648If you want to get into semantics the CCP would say they’ve never been communist because they have not achieved it. Otherwise it has largely transitioned into a capitalist economy since Mao died, though the state controls a lot of key industries and probably has more oversight over the economy and private sector than what you might see in say the US or UK.
>>216015306China has a capitalist model reined in by a communist military, pcc only works on military orders
>>216014648China is a third world shithole so if I was fascist I wouldn't want to claim them
