Quite frankly the CCP is communist in name only
But that, everybody pretty much figured it out
However what most didn't figure out, yet, is what it actually is, if it's not communist
...
IMO it should be rebranded CNSP, as in chinese national socialist party
Think about it; the current regime in china has a lot much more in common with national socialism than with any other ism
Economics? Check. Just like nazi germany back then, you can operate a private company as long as 1) Your activity doesn't go against the program. 2) Your activity isn't of strategic importance. If it is (in both case), then the party takes over/gets the final say in the direction the business should be oriented. That include firing you from your own company and confiscating it, if deemed necessary http://www.differencebetween.net/miscellaneous/the-differences-between-socialism-and-national-socialism/ In soviet russia the state owned everything, key chain factories included, if any https://www.historians.org/about-aha-and-membership/aha-history-and-archives/gi-roundtable-series/pamphlets/em-46-our-russian-ally-(1945)/can-russians-own-personal-property
>What a Russian cannot do is accumulate money from his wages, put this money into a private enterprise, even a small shoeshop or stationary store, and then hire people to work for him as an individual. This is strictly forbidden. Everyone is encouraged to save his money, however, and deposit it in government banks or buy government securities. The financial resources thus accumulated are managed solely by the state and are invested by it in various enterprises—from steel mills and tractor factories to the stores in which people buy their shoes, clothes, and furniture.
Racial/ethnic policy? Check. The dominant han ethnic group is the standard, other ethnic groups are merely tolerated, they are subjugated if not outright cleansed through hard or soft methods, like the tibetans are through forced marriage/inter breeding with mainland chinese. Mongolians too to some extent, that's the main reason why you have mongol neo nazis and ultra nationalists btw https://madeinchinajournal.com/2020/09/25/undoing-lenin-on-the-recent-changes-to-chinas-ethnic-policy/
>There has been a lot of ink spilled over recent weeks on the changes to ‘bilingual education’ policy in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (IMAR) of China, and protests among ethnic Mongolians in response to what is feared might become first step in the eventual erasure of the Mongolian language and identity.
Uyghurs are getting the shaft too, via "reeducation" camps. Granted it's not a hardline race policy, as in anybody not strictly han gets exterminated, but the party's aim at maintaining the han's ethnic supremacy is a given. Ask a chinese.
Nationalistic stance? Check. Oh boy... Check that out https://pic8.co/sh/QP6zKU.jpeg If that's not a display of nationalism on steroids for the olympics idk what is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_nationalism.
>Chinese nationalism (simplified Chinese: 中国民族主义; traditional Chinese: 中國民族主義; pinyin: Zhōngguó mínzú zhǔyì) is a form of nationalism in both mainland China (the People's Republic of China) and Taiwan (Republic of China) which asserts that the Chinese people are a nation and promotes the cultural and national unity of all Chinese people. It is significantly distinct from Han nationalism, a sense of jingoism that is felt by purely Han Chinese people who deem themselves superior to other existing ethnicities (typically minority) in China. >Over the next decades, Chinese nationalism was influenced strongly by Russian ethnographic thinking, and the official ideology of the PRC asserts that China is a multi-ethnic state, and Han Chinese, despite being the overwhelming majority (over 95% in the mainland), they are only one of many ethnic groups of China, each of whose culture and language should be respected. However, many critics argue that despite this official view, assimilationist attitudes remain deeply entrenched, and popular views and actual power relationships create a situation in which Chinese nationalism has in practice meant Han dominance of minority areas and peoples and assimilation of those groups.[citation needed]
It's (han)ChinaFirst Land. You can be commie all you want it doesn't really count, especially if you're not 100% pro china CCP. It's china first or bust. Nationalism was frowned upon in the soviet russia btw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_patriotism
>Soviet patriotism is the socialist patriotism involving emotional and cultural attachment of the Soviet people to the Soviet Union as their homeland.[1] It has been referred to as "Soviet nationalism". However, the concept of "Soviet nationalism" is claimed to be a misnomer and inaccurate because Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks were officially opposed to nationalism as being reactionary, a bourgeois creation, and contrary to the interests of proletarian class struggle and communist revolution.[2]
And that's for the veiled anti commie stance https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-politics-mao-idUSKCN1OP0EK
>Leading Chinese Marxist student taken away by police on Mao's birthday
>Chinese police detained a well-known Marxist at a top university on Wednesday, a witness said, on the sensitive anniversary of the 125th birthday of the founder of modern China, Mao Zedong, whose legacy remains deeply contested. Qiu Zhanxuan, head of the Peking University Marxist Society, was grabbed and forced into a black car outside the east gate of Peking University by a group of heavy-set men who identified themselves as police, a student told Reuters. “I saw a black car parked by the gate and seven or eight men in plainclothes lifting him by his arms and legs and forcing him into the car,” the student said, declining to be named due to the sensitivity of the situation. Qiu was on the way to attend a memorial for the 125th anniversary of Mao Zedong’s birthday that he organized and had already been warned by a school adviser about the event on Tuesday, the student said. “What’s wrong with remembering Chairman Mao? What law does it break? How can they publicly kidnap a Peking University student?” the student added. The Ministry of Public Security did not respond to a request for comment. Students at Peking University, informally known as Beida, set on a sprawling, leafy campus in northwestern Beijing, played a central role in launching the anti-imperialist May Fourth Movement in 1919 and the pro-democracy Tiananmen protests in 1989. But campus activism has been increasingly marginalized in the era of President Xi Jinping, with Beida in particular taking steps to quash dissent and strengthen Communist Party control. A movement that saw students and recent graduates of universities including Beida team up with labor activists to support factory workers fighting the right to set up their own union has been dealt with harshly by authorities, attracting international media coverage. China has an awkward relationship with the legacy of Mao, who died in 1976, and his birthday, which was not marked in the print editions of major Communist Party newspapers on Wednesday. Song Yangbiao, a Beijing-based neo-Maoist freelance journalist, told Reuters that this year “the leftists have gone quiet” and with no signs of any major activities to mark the birthday. “I think the backdrop is the atmosphere around the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up,” Song said, referring to official events celebrating the start of China’s landmark economic reforms, with Xi giving a big speech last week. “Remembering Chairman Mao will lead to a major clash between the two streams of thought.”
"Remembering Chairman Mao will lead to a major clash between the two streams of thought.”
You bet it will. By mao's standards the CCP is the ruling class in the hot seat now...
