It's not actually communist. I bet you think the nazis were socialist and the North Koreans are democratic.

They would like to be fully socialist in the future. I think that's pretty clear from Xi's words and actions, no matter what the party did before Xi's leadership

China would be god tier, imo, if it rejected communism and embraced oriental traditionalism along with techno authoritarianism. oh well.

He didn't declare himself leader for life. The party's congress ended presidential and vice presidential term limits

I think they're pushing for full development before going socialist. They're doing capitalism a lot better than the west with their more authoritarian top-down capitalism and it's thrown the necessity of capitalism and democracy being together into question.

you have to go back pablo

China is state capitalist you brainletts, some parts of it are free market like the special economic zones, but all big business in china including banks and energy are owned directly or indirectly by the state.

Xi isn't trying to bring back socialism, but a more paternalistic Chinese state that pumps money into the more peripheral areas of China. What he labels as "Chinese dream" is kinda like Roosevelts new deal without the social benefits, dumping money in public works and infrastructure.

they are communists as they believe in communism, but they do not consider China a communist country. communism is only achievable through the development of material dialectics, so the position of communists in China is that capitalism is still the most efficient method of advancing the dialectic. old-school Marxist accelerationism

"Communist" is a pretty strong and characterizing political word, is not like "democratic" which is basically a buzzword as it is used by billions of different parties through the world, and "socialist" which is used by socialists, socdems and the so called social right. Besides this, there is a political continuity between Mao and today's party, so your analogy doesn't make any fucking sense in both ways, your ADHD ridden underager

t. revisionists

Has it ever dawned on any of these communists that maybe Marx was wrong and socialism is not inevitable? Didn't Marx think that the dissolution of capitalism was imminent in his own lifetime? Yet now it's been more than a century.

>by making tentative steps towards capitalism and changing leaders every five or so years
That only works as long as international capital is willing to invest in your country and you have something to gain from it. With decline of the West, Chinese won't be so obliged to set up their economy in manner that would suit western bussiness. Plus their capitalism was always a "bird in a cage" in the words of Chen Yun.

Marx is taken too seriously.
Nietzsche got a lot of shit but Marx got away with it and is still as popular.
Damn him

One of my ideas that I'm never gonna realize is a giant installation titled "Anytime now" placed in the middle of some square consisting of a giant buttplug shaped statue whose exterior surface is entirely covered by articles, both academic and journalistic, announcing the surely impeding and completely inevitable death of capitalism, from the 19th century to the present day, in a from top to bottom spiraling order like one of those Roman columns celebrating the res gestae of the emperor.

Height of the statue would be around 6 metres.

Marx criticizes the simplistic notion of egalitarianism in the first part of his Critique of the Gotha Program.
Many socialists, both in the past and today, advocate a vulgar kind of egalitarianism (see G. A. Cohen) but this is not the case for Marx.

Its people like the entitled little retards and autists of Yea Forums that are respnsible for homophobia, transphobia, slavery, global warming, WW2, the holocaust, starvation and disease throughout the third world, etc. Its hilarious that you guys genuinely think you have anything worthwhile to contribute to the world, when you guys are the type of people to fail a FRESHMAN sociology class because ypu want to got into class everyday and argue with the teacher, without ever opening your mind to beyond just what you've been conditioned to believe by patriarchal, western , capitalist, WHITE, MALE society. There is more to the world then imperialistic Western socio-epistemic categories like "truth", "knowledge", "evidence", "justice", "freedom", "logic", etc. Maybe it is time we give up the Eurocentric concepts, and embrace a more inclusive and holistic understanding of the relationship between nature, society, and oppression, but given that literal Incel and Facist organizations and website like Yea Forums still have so much cultural influence, we still have a long way to go.

>Has it ever dawned on any of these communists that maybe Marx was wrong and socialism is not inevitable?

If life is to continue, then some form of society based on the idea of reciprocal symbiosis IS inevitable; but I am aware of the fact that "socialism" and "reciprocal symbiosis" are frequently nowhere close to being the same things. Socialism is a straw man, the authors of which want people to believe that socialism and symbiosis ARE the same things; while the differences between the two allow elite psychopaths to remain in power.

Lol you just showed you know little of what they're doing. While Western governments bicker in deadlocks China has shown to be more dynamic, flexible, and more ruthless and brutal in their capitalism. Not a good thing mind you, but something to be worried about.

The only two things which cannot be appropriated by the mainstream currents of liberalism, democracy and capitalism, are extreme right wing positions and religious fundamentalism. The first always has a metaphysical objectivism much like the second yet without a religious wrapping. Instead it often has a group ideology based upon an essence of the group, seen to be present in differing places (blood/race, culture, etc).

And the USA is not a democracy

As a matter of fact, both countries share the same ideology - STATISM - but the flavour of this ideology are indeed different.

And China specifically, given the (still very low) levels of economic development, has by far the most robust number of social programmes in the entire world.

>Why do people whose worldview is based upon a supposedly materialistic view of history retreat into the realm of Idea and Notion when confronted with the FUCKING facts?
wow epic bro :)

Leninists who believes China and the Deng clique is still socialist will tell you they are just "developing material conditions" until the time is right.
21st-century Marxists like Jehu would rather tell you that we need to reduce work hours right-now until we have 0 hours of wage-slavery per week and then we would have communism, or Srnicek & Williams that we need to go full socdem on steroids to get communism. They like Nick Land, heavily disagrees, are "leftcoms", but also very based and redpilled.

Communism is basically the very human ideal, but also almost feasible since the Industrial Revolution due to our mastery of efficiently transforming our surroundings, of instantiating a kind of semi-post-scarcity society in the writings of Marx & Engels.
Mao and Stalin did in a way helped going down that road by modernizing China and Russia very quickly in a few decades, even though they did some very stupid stuff like the Cultural Revolution, just like many leaders of the past desu.

I don't think it's that unbelievable humans could live in a post-scarcity society in ~2800 A.D., unless we get eternally raped by Peter Thiel™ AI-powered mechanical tentacles.

That's why I said "semi-post-scarcity", it doesn't sound that marvelous but we could eliminate programmed obsolescence, reduce work hours and still have a functional society right now, no? Get rid of that GDP autism, start taking economic measurements closer to use-values, commute less and spend less gas everyday by working less, make smartphones with replaceable minijacks, and so on.

The concept of human rights as we know it today was designed to bolster capitalism and make it appealing to neutral parties during the cold war. Taking it out just leaves capitalism with one less leg to stand on.

What is quality of life? What is quality? What is life? What is deserved? What is right?

I'm serious, one can have a life free of wage-labor right now by becoming a hunter-gatherer. The conclusion to be drawn here is that Communism as envisioned by the likes of Jehu would approximate hunter-gatherer society except where technological society runs itself and automatically produces goods for us and makes politics/power relations trivial. Meanwhile, all technological advancements have in practice have resulted in increased centralization and require more sophisticated labor to maintain them. This is basically a foil of Landian thought by people who've never interacted with technology in a meaningful way.

Which needs are basic? Doesn't western capitalism already do this? If you (or someone) decide that a particular set of consumption choices is harmful to society, what actions are allowable to contain this behavior? If you (or someone) are actively regulating behavior, how can self-reporting be considered reliable? If basic needs aren't being met, who is blamed and what corrective action is allowable?

All of these technologies require continued maintenance and ongoing development, software doesn't just run itself once you figure out the basic idea.

>What WB's angle, they want UBI now? Why?
WB wants as many bodies as possible buying things. Furthermore, UBI can be used as a tool of political control: Relocate jobs to Africa or Southeast Asia, have everyone depend on UBI, and then cut it off when the censor finds out that you've said something Bigoted (tm).

Is it? If you're in a career you're passionate about then sure, but most people (from my experience) see their job as a means to an end.

Outside the West people are forced into slave labor conditions, live in active war zones over resource conflicts and so on
>If you (or someone) decide that a particular set of consumption choices is harmful to society, what actions are allowable to contain this behavior?
Status signalling with conspicuous consumption will be seen as a ludicrous outmoded practice in a classless society. Consumerism is not innate but the result of sophisticated (mass) psychology - weaponized social science in this manner will be illegal. The first line intervention for pathologies such as psychopathy or drug addiction or remorseless greed will be therapeutic, or if that fails and it is truly harmful, incarceration, as it is now.
>If you (or someone) are actively regulating behavior, how can self-reporting be considered reliable?
Behavior is already regulated in many ways. Self reporting is imperfect, but the neuropsychology of happiness will be more developed by then. As it will for understanding pathologies that are now untreatable, such as narcissistic personality disorder and greed.
>If basic needs aren't being met, who is blamed and what corrective action is allowable?
Pillaging from the distribution system will be criminal. There'll still be laws and shit.

The Party decides what you get or don't get.

I'm no longer a commie but back then I found the idea of a classless society fascinating, not having to be restrained by your social circumstances, following which ever career path you wish regardless of your financial abilities, even in terms of partners you won't have to worry about wealth and social standing, the more I thought about it the more it changed how I viewed life as it is, it felt like an unaliable sense of freedom.
