If we are being technical, the PRC doesn’t claim to have reached communism yet, they are still in the primary stage of socialism. Communism must be global, the highest stages of which will be stateless, classless, and moneyless, while in the current PRC class struggle is very much alive and public ownership, while dominant, exists alongside private and cooperative ownership in lighter and smaller industry.
If they can actually get there. I will be so happy for them. Maybe it will run on the rest of us.
But dude, they are not going to. They have massive wealth inequality. Those rich people would want to keep it that way.
Fortunately, there are checks and balances as the central party has a lot of sway. But this position is contingent on their leadership. Wrong/incompetent leadership will plunge them into a worse kind of hell hole.
For all our sake, I hope the Chinese do well and become a democratized socialist country. Technically they are , what with all the factions in the CCP but more transparent and accountable.
Developing towards communism isn’t something one country can do alone. Chiefly, imperialismmust be overcome, which requires the US Empire to be dethroned. Ideally, that would be through socialist revolution, but even without one the US Empire is in decay. Communism must be a global system, you cannot have a fully collectivized network of production without, you know, making it global. Until then, the PRC needs to continue building up their productive forces, and build up to higher levels of socialism.
Wealth inequality isn’t the primary issue. What’s important is that public ownership is the principle aspect, and by and large development has been driven in the interests of the proletariat. From the massive poverty eradication programs to the steady and massive increases in real wages, society is run by and for the working class. It doesn’t matter what the bourgeoisie wants, they don’t have control of the state, or the critical or large industries. Wealth inequality has actually been declining as of late, actually, and will likely continue to decline as the PRC continues to develop.
China is already democratized and socialist, yes. I wrote a comment elsewhere on this thread, with resources at the end if you want to read further, right here.
Dude are you living in 1990s? You’d have to blind to not see how much they’ve built up.
I don’t like their brand of communism, but damn have they done so well for themselves.
Basically they have been very good capitalists.
