Xi has been talking about returning to Marxism, which I presume means not Maoism and not Dengism. Most people on HN basically have no idea what Marxism is, what the road to socialism is about, the stages of socialism, or why China really does what they do. I don't watch Xi's speeches on YouTube, but you could if you really wanted to. They treat "not free market capitalism" as a monolith of ideas and states. Even a light reading of Marxist economic theory with some other adjacent authors like Lenin, Mao, Trotsky, etc. would make clear exactly why Dengism was needed and why it worked and why Xi finds it necessary to return to straight Marxism. The worst part is how greedy corporate oligarchs of the US sent all the jobs to China. That made Dengism work really well. I mean, I don't really know what to say. If you wanted China to lose or not be Marxist, the US did a really bad job. It's really clear the only long-term planning the US does is lining pockets and that's probably going to be the death of the country. But this is HN, so please pretend like I was complaining about wokeness or whatever other imaginary problem is popular here.
