Xi Jinping pledges return to Marxist roots for China’s Communists
I'll believe it when I see it.
kek what
With any luck the Chinese populace will conclude their "national characteristics" of hierarchical debauchery are to blame over socialism.
given he's been acting a little like Stalin and a lot like Mao, I'm not surprise by this claim
He's probably the least Market Socialist of their leaders in quite a while. Not sure that means he's actually DONE anything other than shore-up his own power base of Stalinist "Bureaucrats", but, hey, what's a few tankies between friends?
There are reasons to be hopeful about his posturing. I read a few guardian pieces during the Chinese stock market crash that suggested the China had reached the limit of what it could accomplish via industrialization and needed to move to a services-based (read: consumerist) economy.
I would like to believe that the Chinese are going to come through for the big socialist win but they seem too pork-infested to start moving towards actual socialism. The Little Princes and their bureaucrat fathers have become extremely wealthy and unless this was all an elaborate communist trap to out subversives and wanna-be-bourgeois for purging I think a substantial amount of skepticism is warranted.

"Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" is just the name Deng and the other reformers gave to their new capitalist system.
Just came back from two years in China.
If any of you think there is anything leftist about what's going on right now you need to get your head reexamined. All it looks like is that the few guys at the top are envious of how much power Mao and the emperors before him had, so they want to return those "roots." They are the ultimate bullies.
This and this alone. It's really the closest thing I ever experienced to fascism.
Praise to Xin Ping. With all hope we will pull China out of Dengist revisionism and return it to the era of Mao.
Stfu liberal, it's sad that you didn't get gulaged yourself when you went there. Socialism isn't some hippy picnic you revisionists want it to be.
Amazing how these shills would pull anything out of their ass to pass it off as convincing imperialist anti-communist propaganda.
99 % agreed
i just can't share your optimism
I think that might be even worse
is this satire
It's pure tanky trolling Comrade, disregard.
Chinese are authoritarian capitalists and they lock up anyone who brings up real communism™
Can't really rely on that, considering the fact that China even now calls itself Communist despite being as far from it as possible
Kek
Since this is about China what does Holla Forums think about the underground Maoist Communist Party of China (MCPC)? They don't seem to have anything much in english though

lolwut
I doubt anyone using the Maoist flag is being serious. Or at least I hope not.
Nah.
Two reasons.
1) that's dumb all by itself. Chinese iPhones are still made by underpaid workers in 12-hour shifts. Industrialization only begun in China (and throughout the world; I don't know why some people think Industrial Revolution had ended).
2) any explanations post-factum are practically always bullshit.
Yes, it is. Just with nukes and robots.
Never heard of them, tbh. I did examine (not the only one, I hope) Maoist party of Russia. Too much gender-politics and not enough organization, economical programs or theory.
Why do people think Marxism has anything to do with sex? It's about taking over the world.
There's been some recent blog post by a Maoist (or "Maoist") who differentiated tankies from Maoists and (apparently) put the word back in use as anti-Maoist.

Capitalists don't gulag people m8. Worst that happens is they force you to assemble phone cases for Nokia.

Child's play compared to present day.

Dengism is Capitalism, China's only way out is another revolution
seems legit
Fuck you. I choose gulags.
Those are toilets, in case you were wondering. You sit and shit. And put paper in the basket. And then, at some point, someone turns on the water and washes everything away.
Surprised i'm saying this but i'm also going to go with being gulaged.

regardless of the letter's authenticity, the text does match the 'political line' of a very real and growing socialist movement directed against the official party.
