I think currently 35% of the US gdp is various forms of government spending so it's still pretty state controlled

Spending is different than enterprises, the state’s involvement in he economy in China would be even higher by that metric.

it's not that they were labor organizers or marxists per se, it's that they were trying to form an independent trade union outside of the system that's already set up, which is against the law. it was against the law in the mao era too, so the people being all "revisionists!!!!!!!!" about this don't actually know their history

do you think there ought to be a point where, taking into consideration all questions of maintaining party control and issues of imperialist infiltration and so on, labour and ideological organizations independent of the party ought to be allowed to form and operate?

Reminder that an independent Polish labor union was responsible for the breakup of the Eastern bloc and the greatest decrease in the quality of life in history.

correct, it's one of those cases where fighting for labor rights was actually fighting against labor rights if you examine the context

Yes, a "Socialist" state, which abandoned global revolution, which abandoned dictatorship of the proletariat, which openly embraced revisionism, which militarily attacked socialist countries to enforce its own revisionist views, which never respected sovereignty of nations, which waged economic warfare on peaceful China, which failed due to its own contradictions, is "good and cool"

The Chinese reformists, who definitely exist, fully support your ideas sir. However, you need to make a few extremely beneficial changes for China or the entire government will become Hardline communists

reforms are good, Deng was a reformer, as is Xi, just as Trotsky called for permanent revolution, so China is under a state of permanent reform. Socialism must constantly reform itself towards Communism to survive. Stagnancy is a poison which will destroy any society which fails to adapt to its material circumstances.

Which many western leftists, who still worship Moscow party line of Brezhnev era, do not realize!

One of the basic tenets of liberalism is that a government can't just take an action and know what will happen, everything is unpredictable, so a liberal government has to remain agnostic to causes and focus on effects instead. "Reform" is like a slot machine that keeps putting out different effects, so if you just keep pulling the lever, you'll surely get something you like eventually.

there are of course different visions within a Socialist government on which direction reforms should take, some of them are more pro-US foreign policy, some of them are more anti-US foreign policy. That is the nature of Democratic Centralism in a system of free and open debate within party leadership!

lol@ criticizing reforms as "rightist" when Xi has undertaken some of the boldest reforms of the last 50 years!

reforms could be left right or center, the anti-corruption campaign for instance, is no doubt left but an important reform of the Xi era

once more the bourgeois liberal establishment have shown they are part of same anti-Socialist, anti-China, anti-peace military-industrial complex

the US political system has only two right wings: both of which seeks no less than destruction of Socialism at any cost!
