    According to the new provisions, private firms will need a certain amount of CCP registered employees, which is already a long-term practise in large private firms but not smaller ones.

    These cadres will make sure businesses follow the guiding ideology “Guided by Xi Jinping’s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.”

    Duties of cadres will include the duties of strengthening ideological guidance, guiding private economic figures to increase their awareness of self-discipline, build a strong line of ideological and moral defence, strictly regulate their own words and deeds, cultivate a healthy lifestyle, and create a good public image.

    Interesting. I don't think this kind of socialism would work here in the US.

      Am I reading this correctly when I see this as saying the CCP is going to sort of function like a union within private firms?

        That's one way to put it, I guess. I'm not sure exactly. It seems rather vague or I'm not used to the nomenclature.

      If your intention is to transition to full socialism between 2035 and 2050 this is an obvious step you need to take to guard against reactionary behaviour among the private bourgeoisie-owned sector. Putting a CCP team inside every company and requiring a certain % of employees to be CCP members ensures you have the party in place to prevent the bourgeoisie from rebelling when the transition occurs.

      It seems like a smart way to organizationally avert a predictable conflict that will come with their long term plans.

        I think it works for China, but I think American culture would push back against this hard.

          It's kinda funny. It's completely unacceptable to have the political party in your private firms, but it's perfectly fine to have the private firms in your political party. I guess that pretty much captures the difference between China and the US.

          Only because the bourgeois-owned media whips the reactionary population into a frenzy. It's a completely different story when you don't have that influence because you've pushed the working class into power over the bourgeoisie.

          Either way America would go through multiple cultural revolutions before it gets to socialism.
