keynes was a left-liberal but keynesianism is centrist liberal, largely in line with most post-war governments up until around 1975-1980 when right liberalism aka neolooserism became dominant

no he wasn't, keynes never gave poo poo about implementing a welfare state for example, his followers were on board with it after he died

he's basically 1930s technocrat who wanted efficient economic policy

mao, ho chi minh, et al were national liberationists more than actual revolutionaries. many east asian communists during the mid-20th looked up to george washington and napoleon bonaparte more than karl marx, and hell ho chi minh even tried to get a hearing from woodrow wilson after he came up with his 14 points on national self-determination

what he did was liquidate most of the landlords and the *foreign* bourgeoisie. he still left much of the capitalist class intact and suppressed strikes. maoism has very, very little to do with actual marxism

Maoist China had no significant industry (I think limit for private enterprise might have being 6 employees or something in the 1950s) privately owned whereas the Uk has plenty of big privately owned industries

1/3 measured by what?

number of declared enterprises on paper? employees? output? percentage of GDP?

What kind of public-private "partnership" is this? Were there shares split btwn governments and private individuals? Was it the case that the government owned the industry but private individuals had the right to operate it as they see fit? like this is ambigious

22. (C) Xi is a true "elitist" at heart, according to the professor, and believes that rule by a dedicated and committed Communist Party leadership is the key to enduring social stability and national strength, as in the (self-perceived) elite-dominated society of his youth, knit together by family ties, elders and male authority. After years of conversations with Xi, and having shared a common upbringing with him, the professor said, he is convinced that Xi has a genuine sense of "entitlement," believing that members of his generation are the "legitimate heirs" to the revolutionary achievements of their parents and therefore "deserve to rule China." For this reason, the professor maintained, Xi could never be a "true member" of current President Hu Jintao's camp, even if Xi did not give any indication of opposition to Hu Jintao now. Xi and other first-generation princelings derisively refer to people with non-Party, non-elite, commercial backgrounds like Hu Jintao as "shopkeepers' sons," whose parents did not fight and die for the revolution and therefore do not deserve positions of power.
