    My take on the "is China communist or capitalist" is very simple, China are operating with whatever economic mode of production is most competitive in a world where imperialism exist, while keeping fundamental political control in the hands of the proletariat. If China really was a capitalist country inside and out, you wouldn't have all these rightist bourgeoisie media outlets like Murdoch throwing shade at China with such fervor.

      Totally Anti-Marxist. You should know that the economic mode of production deeply effects the socio-political system of a given country. Have you ever considered that Imperialists have rival Imperialists, like during the First World War? This is the same case.

          Correct, Deng Xiaoping was a revisionist and opportunist who completely forgot about class contradiction and imperialism, instead turning his nation into a Capitalist state.

              In a way, you could say that. However, I think that in helping to develop our revolutionary theory, we must fundimentally look at the People's Republic of China as an example of what not to do when building Socialism.
