thoughts on these critiques:

  1. I mean, I don’t think it’s a camp so much so as it is reality. Dengism has pushed forth a disastrous capitalist restoration that every single CPC government has done ever since, workers have been continually disenfranchised and chinese capitalists pop up everywhere and establish businesses that exploit the proletariat
  2. how can a country be a dotp without its basis of government being soviets they give bourgeois the right to vote and participate in government.
  3. Beijing has legally and specifically preserved capitalist governance where it can during dengism (Basic Laws in Macau, Hong Kong), but even Hong Kong is being outcapitalisted by the mainland, with Shanghai and even Shenzhen surpassing Hong Kong in terms of commerce and trade, points of great pride for Beijing despite this very clearly not being socialist
  4. the 1918 russian constitution officially denied political power to the nobility and bourgeoisie anyway, universal right to vote is inherently bourgeois. ALL POWER TO THE SOVIETS this is very basic stuff

    i’m not so versed in china, but you’re being kinda harsh with it…

    Dengism has pushed forth a disastrous capitalist restoration

    maybe, but the cpc has made a considerably good work keeping the stability of the socialist project

    how can a country be a dotp without its basis of government being soviets they give bourgeois the right to vote and participate in government

    i mean, in what other country a businessman is executed for doing treacherous stuff and being a corrupt state contratist? in what other country a big-ass monopoly is fragmented by the state?

    Beijing has legally and specifically preserved capitalist governance…points of great pride for Beijing despite this very clearly not being socialist

    i mean, those are still china and china has still some chauvinism and nationalism, still a better record than the ex-ussr

    the 1918 russian constitution officially denied political power to the bourgeoisie, universal right to vote is inherently bourgeois

    pobody’s nerfect…even with those issues china has pretty decent records. i mean, what would you prefer? a place with dalai lama as the main religious figurehead and an economical politics like the us?
