Except this has nothing to do with communism, which is an economic and political theory. This is just social conservatism being implememted in a totalitarian state, clouded in the language of a past communist uprising. Similarly, US conservatism is clouded in Christian language even when it has nothing to do with Christianity; Russian conservatism in a 'strong Russia' lingo eben when it's about Putin's enrichment, or western European conservatism clouded in social democracy language. All of these use old words and and a more or less mythical past to justify whatever they want to be the case. CCP is a party of old men shouting at clouds, with the difference that they happen to have the power to actually implement their ideas quite radically without much consultation.
