Can I get a good side by side comparison of the two somewhere? From my understanding, Deng still kept a tight leash on the capitalist class whereas Gorby didn’t.
Yep, that's about it. Deng used the NEP as a model (which wasn't great, but they were able to get them under control after the program was ended). Whereas Gorbonzo decided to allow them to regain political capital and even appointed them to important positions in the government. Then sided with them against the people.
Deng never sided with them and maintained the dominance of the CPC over the capitalist class. Which is like the most basic tenant of ML theory, the use of the revolutionary state as an organized oppressive force directed at capitalists instead of workers.
there was essentially no capitalist class, or at least to say one capable of effecting any policy decisions of the communist party, until after the dissolution of the soviet union and suspension of all CPSU activity by the supreme soviet
