It’s interesting to see western Marxist Leninist always having rigid thinking process about the development of socialism for countries with different material conditions. I want to know why do some western Marxist Leninist and Maoists always have arbitrary definitions of what can be a socialist country or not be a socialist country. Why do China need to fulfil all these criterias to be socialists?
Wondering if the document from bannedthought he was talking about is the one published by CPI Maoist which claims that China is a social-imperialist country.
I reckon when you’ve only ever thought of socialism as a hypothetical and haven’t actually had to put in the work and have your ideals butt up against practical reality you’re going to end up more idealistic. And chauvinism is a pretty American thing already so that doesn’t help.
it’s cope
