I don't like Dengism but you have to admit that all those ultras and leftcoms who act like you can just instantly be communist if you wanted are dumb
They left it in the freezer too long and they're slow-thawing it to avoid breaking it. I believe they Xi has said "The slow thaw is believed to take 36 years in a very weak microwave," (The Governance of China, vol. 2, p. 13)
It's right next to the "abolish the state" button but they can't find it on the panel
It's all an elaborate charade to fool Euro-American socialists specifically.
I'm not sure if its just ignorance but its wild to me how China and Russia have oriented themselves since 1980 for China and 1991 for Russia.
In that US imperialism was so strong that their entire geopolitical outlook can be summed up as not putting your head above the parapet for fear of being destroyed by USA. (For Russia this lasted until 2007 when they finally broke with the West and understood the West would never accept them. For China they are still hoping to repair relations)
do people not know USA bombed Chinas embassy in the Yugoslav war, quite deliberately and China said nothing?
I'm not a Dengist but Dengs entire thing was "we need to hide our strength and bide our time" and they did so by binding themselves so tightly to US markets that if the US went to war with China they would be destroying their own economy first.
The US currently surrounds China with 400 military bases with what John Pilger calls a noose and props up the antiCommunist so-called 'Republic of China' (Taiwan)
China has 4 military bases overseas whilst US has over 900
Even UK has 147
US has been on a rampage across the globe since 1945 and left within its wake tens of millions dead, 100s of millions displaced and seeking refuge and ruined countries all over South America, Africa, Asia and Europe
China has not been in a war since 1979 etc.
I would start with the documentary The Coming War In China by John Pilger
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAfeYMONj9E
Done in 2016 it lays out what the USA has been doing and how its laying the groundwork for a full scale war. The current anti-Sino propaganda everywhere makes complete sense in hindsight
marxist international econ analysis always tends towards geopolitical analyses
check out the wealth of some nations :))

Capitalism is OK when China does it!
In other words; to hell with the Chinese working class. They need to just suck up being exploited by capitalism, all cause China opposes US imperialism.
Siri, what is Lenin and the Right Of Nations To Self Determination?
And to your edit....the working class of China overwhelmingly support the Communist Party in poll after poll after poll

A Harvard University survey has found that Chinese citizens' satisfaction with government has increased virtually across the board, with the central authorities receiving the strongest level of approval, increasing from 86 percent to 93 percent between 2003 and 2016, the period of the study.

From IPSOS 90% of Chinese consider their country to be going in the right direction.
35% for USA

What happens when China becomes more influential then America, which is bound to happen. In Lenin's work, he says it is the obligation from people from the ruling society to fight for the self-determination of smaller entities, so should it not be expected that the dynamic will eventually flip?
By Lenin's own definition of imperialism, China is exactly that.
There are over 20,000 strikes a year in China where their working class rise up and get sick of the poverty wages and practical slave labor over there.
But hey, it's all OK cause they oppose American imperialism. That's all that really matters.
The 20th Century was the fight between Capitalism and Socialism
Socialism lost
The 21st century is the Right of nations to Self Determination versus US-EU imperialism. I'm so shocked how many people think it's anything different and try this "both sides shit".
But hey, it’s all OK cause they oppose American imperialism. That’s all that really matters.
good take
As you can see from this photo instead of pressing the red "establish communism" button, Xi has pressed the green "force 1000 bazillion Uyghurs to crank that soulja boy" button , and you can only press 1 button every 50 years
For those who were wondering, the yellow button is the Yellow Peril button.

-Fifth to last paragraph, Chapter 2 of the Communist Manifesto, 1848
They need scientific consensus before taking any rash actions, but they are soon there! Only a few percent of researchers funded by big capitalism are putting up a fight.
I think the biggest reason is that they don't want to. But also, I don't see how that could work right now.
You can't just abolish money, the state, and class by a "push of the button," especially in a huge country like China, which has gigantic enemies that could take advantage of their lack of a strong state and destroy the whole thing.
In my mind, communism can't happen while forces like the U.S. exist on the global stage.
Pretty sure there's still preparatory work to be done and the West is still too powerful
