    You don’t have to like the government, but they’re the sole reason China is slowly starting to take the lead in science and engineering. These are the fruits of marxism-leninism, whether you like it or not.

      China is not Marxist-leninist lmao. They have a market economy.

      State capitalism is not the same as Marxism.

        Of course they are led by a marxist-leninist vanguard party. Just because they are leading a state owned market economy in order to build up their productive forces so they can counteract the power of US hegemony/imperialism, doesn’t mean they aren’t doing socialist state building.

          No, they aren’t Marxist-leninist.

          There’s no overthrowing of capitalism. China is capitalist as fuck.

          Socialism is not “when the government does things”.
