The USA, as a capitalist powerhouse, was a progressive force in the world for a while. Now it’s pretty clearly a global reactionary force, in both action and intent.
Maybe at some point the CPC will become a reactionary force, but that day isn’t today.
Re surplus value being extracted: that’s in-line with what Marx proposes in Critique. Surplus can still be extracted for common endeavours. Now, there’s also considerable surplus going to private hands, and some of that even ends up in endeavours not conducive to the common good, but the lion’s share ends up under the purview of the Party, for developmental purposes.
