It was truly communist under Mao zedong, and china suffered under him. It was deng who opened free markets within the country, that's when they started to make money off the world.

No one is talking about the soviets you mong
>>2760594
>it's only real communism if it fails
lmao this is what capitalist dicksuckers actually believe
>>2760597
meant to write CPC. Deng is utterly devoid of ideology. Even Mao was losing it after the Three Worlds Theory. Like there's nothing China can point to to show their commie credentials other than muh SoEs
>There are people in 2017 that consider themselves Maoists irl
What a fucking joke
>>2760563
Yeah this is a bad bait thread but I'll give you a (You).
this guy
>>2760570
So successful they pay you to shitpost this drivel on fortune all day.
>>2760570
So we're going to use the "it's wasn't real communism" argument, against communism?
>>2760563
Yeah, more like "national capitalism".
Reported for low quality bait.

No point in denying that Maoism/Stalinism isn't a subset of communism. But there's nothing wrong in pointing out that it was the only communist ideology tried on a mass scale in the 20th century and that it was frequently criticized by the Left for being opportunist and genocidal.
>>2760563
>communist
>state
It was Maoist turned socialist.
>>2760627
Meh in 3rd world countries I can see why someone would be a maoist, but middle class hipsters who've never ever done simple yard work being commies is just retarded.
>>2760612
So this one is real communism? finally?
>>2760682
lol no
>>2760612
Ye lol what an idiot for reading books.
>>2760563
It was a festering shitwound of murder and betrayal until Mao the stupid yellow butcher died
Then they got real and stopped being Marxist.
But along the way they killed their vest and brightest.

>no healthcare
>private ownership of the means of production
>no worker's rights
>ruled by oligarchs
At this point, the government is pimping the chinese workers out to foreign companies for profit.
Most of the post-mao reforms were influenced by Lee Kuan Yew, the guy who basically invented authoritarian asian hypercapitalism.
