Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.

They've been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren't Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it's bots or wumao. Human beings can't possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

    It's CPC and of course they are, there's no reason to believe otherwise apart from being a dumb little racist baby who thinks only white people can do socialism properly.

      It’s CPC

      What are you on about, it's both?

      Maybe the fact it's a dictatorship with no power to the people? Tell me, what Chinese factory workers own their means of production?

      Call me a racist? Cuba and Burkina Faso are true attempts at socialism, while the USSR under Stalin was not (Lenin was good though).

        CPSU, CPV, CPK, etc.. CCP is a weird, racist neologism coined by the west to emphasize the "Chinese" part of the moniker. CPC is the standard nomenclature.

            communism is an internationalist movement. why would we ever put nationality before the fact that we're communists?

              Also, you really thinking having "Chinese" before "Communist" is racist? If anything the west has fearmongered the word "communist" far more than the word "Chinese"

                That is literally the stated intent given for the name, yes. Emphasizing Chinese is the point. If there wasn't a reason to call it CCP they would just call it CPC. Goddamn you are a gullible toad lmao

                  I've wondered if part of it too is to trick boomers into confusing it with CCCP as their lead-addled brains turn into mush.

                yes, older media reported the party as the CPC. restyling it as the CCP is relatively recent and coincides with the drumbeat of aggression between the west and China.

                  It's worth noting that early on the official English name was actually CCP, probably just following the generic rules of English with putting adjectives before the noun, before it was revised to CPC.

            I'd be willing to bet that you haven't. With the dumb shit you've been saying, I like my odds. You're living proof that leftist politics without historical education is nothing more than aesthetics and pedantry. You're impotent, and if you had your way the left would never advance. After all, if it did, you'd actually have to do something other than posturing and pointlessly arguing with people.

        So you want Xi to press the communism button?

        On a serious note, through a communist party controlled state, Chinese workers clearly have greater control over the means of production than workers anywhere else in the world. That's why they were able to use the resources their own labor created to do things like have an effective covid response.

          What makes you think this? Is that why their benefits and conditions are worse than succdem Europe?

            China was profoundly underdeveloped, and only began to develop in earnest after a revolution in the 1940s. We'll never know why it's different than Europe. That's a really good question.
