      By definition a communist society is stateless, moneyless, and classless. Non of which China has achieved.

          None of which any state which has nominally aspired toward Communism has achieved. There have been no Communist states. There have been states which have claimed, perhaps earnestly, that they are trying to transition to Communism. There can be no Communist state, it’s a contradiction of terms.

            Some incredible fucking insight, especially as it goes against probably all historical literature we have on the subject.

            And what’s is your source for all of this?

                  With about as much value as 10 seconds of research would imply. I clicked on one link there to find:

                  As a term, communist state is used by Western historians, political scientists, and media to refer to these countries. However, these states do not describe themselves as communist nor do they claim to have achieved communism

                    As a one-party state governed by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, it was a flagship communist state.

                    In the summary of the article. 5 seconds this time. Still as waste of time if you can believe it.

      China isn’t communist. China is a capitalist dictatorship with one man at the top, a few people taking decisions and raking in all the profits and everyone else wage slaving away. Tell me what it reminds you
