Maybe Chairman Mao was simply concerned with mobilizing and modernizing the nation and the most efficient way to reach that goal was by utilizing socialist or communist tactics?

Somehow I think that Chairman Mao might wake up, look around, and go back to sleep with a smile on his lips. China is robust and is a country to be reckoned with. I don’t think he cared that much how it happened, but that it did.

@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,

Instead of annoying us with a long line of xxxxxx’s why not just choose a random name if you are so worried about protecting your identity.

I wrote the article. My name is Robert Vance. What do you want me to explain about the Communist Youth League and Tiananmen Square?

I didn’t say there isn’t still a party in China that calls itself the Communist Party…

I assume that you are referring to the massacre of students in Tiananmen Square? That happened nearly 20 years ago, my friend. Again, I didn’t say that the Chinese government is anything to be proud of. I was simply pointing out that the economy and some aspects of politics in China are no longer communist in nature. Doesn’t mean that China is heaven on earth….

@j.macklby,

Agreed. However, as many have pointed out, ‘fascist’ is a label that could easily be applied to China these days which in my estimation, is no better sounding than ‘communist’. In writing the article, I am certainly not suggesting that China’s government gets a pass now that China is no longer technically communist or that we should forget about the terrible things that have been perpetrated by the government upon the people here.

Technically speaking, China is no longer a purely Communist country, being only still ‘Communist’ now in ‘name’ only….There is no point in changing the name from ‘Communist’ China to something softer or more agreeable to the rest of the world, for that might imply ‘renouncing’ the Communist past’ , which might remind the Chinese people that the Communist Party of China actually inflicted many dastardly, evil deeds on the Chinese people, or that a very large percentage of the population had, or still HAS blood on their hands……Far better to simply just sweep these ‘unpleasant’ memories back under the carpet or let sleeping dogs lie..Because the Chinese victimizers and their victims are all now united in their mindless Capitalism and their insane quest to ‘make as much money as fast as possible’

China has done a very poor job at applying Marx’s ideas I feel. It gives communism a bad name. People associate communism with all these terrible things that these corrupt countries have done.
Just because you claim to be a communist nation, and then not follow any of Marx’s ideologies, doesn’t make you a communist.
I don’t think the problem arises from Marxism or the ideology at all. Its the people who apply it. To say communism is evil, or oppressive ect. based on the actions of so called communist nations is not very accurate. you cant dismiss an entire school of thought based on such poor examples. I am currently starting a paper on why China isn’t an accurate example of true communism. if anyone has any sources or info on this topic i would very much appreciate it.

The term “sociolist” itself is a vague word. Even in the democratic country, the parties’ manifesto give emphasis toward sociolism to gain the sympathy from the voters.
