So why does China even bother to call itself communist at all?
It's basically the worst example of capitalist excesses in the history of the world. How do they teach this to children and party beginners?
"We want to implement full communism but to do so we must become an anarcho-capitalist paradise without any of the social or personal liberties; Our comrades at the top are not enjoying their decadence, but actually just pretending, their hearts are with the proletariat."
How do they justify this to themselves? Mao would have all the party porkies executed on the spot. Not to mention it is quickly becoming a personality cult around Xi, now all those who register to the party pledge their loyalty to him.
