        It wasn't Deng that stabbed the USSR in the back though lol, if anything Deng's shitty foreign policy carried over from Mao

          Mao might have started it but Deng rubberstamped the sino-soviet split after his meeting with Khruschev.

              Before he became Chairman, Deng was still in his mother's womb and not part of the Chinese leadership and head of the military. Everyone knows that.

        Yeah the USSR of the 80s was definitely worth dealing with and not entirely revisionist and crumbling. Lmao

            China is still around and thriving largely because of Deng. Changing tactics isn't revisionism, attempting to rewrite history is.

              definitely worth dealing with and not entirely revisionist and crumbling.

              proceeds to explain how 'changing tactics' ie comprehensive capitalist reform isn't revisionism.

              All you're doing is using marketing language.

                Blaming the Sino-Soviet split on Deng is revisionist. If we're looking at results, China still exists and the communist project there is doing great. Have you checked in on the USSR recently?

                  What's revisionist is criticising USSR for deStalinization and then proceeding to do the same thing to Mao's policies.

                  China still exists and the communist project there is doing great.

                  A project so dead that Xi is being praised for attempting to revive it. It's going great.
