I am not educated in the China. But I am still doubtful. Deng basically created state capitalism. Was a revisionist. And even Mao called him a capitalist roader. I know with his capitalist reforms he lifted a lot of people out of poverty, and rich people in China are under strict state control. But does China owe its development to Deng? Would it be just as developed if it didnt do such reforms? Does it justify Deng’s revisionism? What do Chinese Maoists think about Deng? I know Lenin’s NEP also allowed free market, but only for a limited time.

    Then there’s no reason to call Deng a revisionist if you don’t have an educated opinion on it. The practices of the Chinese communists under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping was nothing but the theoretical recovery of Marxism-Leninism in China, after a few years of ultra-leftists deviations China suffered before Deng Xiaoping’s disputes inside the Communist Party of China after Mao’s death.

    If you want to know more about this, please read Ideology and economic reform under Deng Xiaoping 1973-1993, or you can read Deng Xiaoping’s works directly yourself. You be the judge.
