    "during which the proletariat’s struggle with the still-vibrant bourgeoisie would require a more intense struggle with the full weight of state power under Communist Party control being directed at the capitalist classes. Throughout this period, the restoration of capitalism would be a constant threat and the Communist Party could use any means necessary to destroy the capitalists’ social, economic and political power.”

    what about this doesn't apply to what you've just said?

    the “historical period of socialism” is fraught with the choices between a “capitalist-road” and there is still “the danger of capitalist restoration”

    there are still classes, class contradictions, and class struggle

    Mao literally writes all of this, and says that this phase covers a “considerably long historical period”

    nothing about what you’ve written means that state capitalism isn’t the first step in the initial stage of socialism, lol

      Is this a direct quote? I'm trying to find the source.

        it's paraphrasing Lenin, but from a published source on CPC ideological development
