Decades after the fall of the Soviet Union, the legacy of the Sino-Soviet split stands out sharply in the history of socialism and the Cold War as a major turning point, impacting conflicts all over the world and within the movement, the collapses of 89-91, and China's relationship with the West and embrace of foreign investment.
How do Marxists in China (inside and outside of the CPC) think of it? As justified, as a mistake, as well-intentioned but with bad consequences? What works of theory analyzes its causes, effects? And in light of China's reform and opening up, how is "revisionism", in general and as an ideological rebuke of liberalization in the post-Stalin era in particular, understood?
Any and all answers appreciated, let me know if another comm is better suited for this post.
My fiance specifically left PRC, though remains a national of that country for various reasons, a little more than 10 years ago because she was/is Marxist and figured the original theory would have more purchase in the US since most people were downwardly mobile (eg the upward mobility of most Chinese will probably lead the state to attempt at least regional hegemony and it will become increasingly reliant on market economics and never return to socialism in her lifetime).
