- S2–617[S2] Deng Xiaoping Thought is over1:
-1:-1
- Deng Xiaoping Thought is over -> this one is terrible to discuss because I am convinced that up to now almost everyone in the whole entire world has the wrong interpretation of what the thing actually is. I have heard mainstream Marxist-Leninists casually put the word "overthrow" next to "CPC" / Chinese party-nation without realizing that this is one of the most forbidden things you can say in China and only Trotskyists say it. despite what people think there are very few statements that are big-time illegal to say in China versus just getting deleted off a message board, while that's one of the very few things that actually might be. the Chinese party-nation takes protecting the population very seriously, for better or for worse, and everything it does is in response to possible threats. imagine a reality where most Marxist literature is banned in China but there's still a central party-nation. that's kind of what you invite to happen when you fail to understand that the CPC primarily exists to protect the people from other countries. you must understand that behaving in a non-threatening way toward China is necessary to get a proper understanding of what it is and how to change it. this of course goes about 100 times as much for Trotskyists, who never even would have thought of this.
- Deng Xiaoping Thought has a limited lifespan / You can't have both capitalism and a Stalinist regime, it'll blow up (Alan Woods) / It's like a pressure cooker (on Deng Xiaoping Thought styled countries; Alan Woods) [1] -> this seems to be the opposite of what's true. practically speaking it seems like Deng Xiaoping Thought might be stronger than either Bolshevism or capitalism, empowered by being open to the world but protected by being closed on the inside. nobody really enjoys that outcome between the CPC quickly lying to people about Bolshevism coming back later and the Existentialists trying to claim party-nations are the devil but we do have to be honest about what patterns exist in history.
