      I'm guessing in reality a bunch of his fans are gonna go from "China bad because communism bad" to "China is actually state capitalism, that's why it's good."

      Yeah, into highly nationalist "socialists" who think the nazbols are dope. Watch Marx turn once again into the "national-German Marx" who helped organize the unions that are so well prepared for waging imperial war. Turning to socialism solely because you like how rich and powerful it made a country is probably the worst way to do it outside of the whole "socialism, but just for white people" schtick.
