>Any system with many aspects of a free market economy,

The Chinese basically adopted those aspects as a means to an end. Take a look at the current constitution of Communist China to see what they’re really about.

http://english.people.com.cn/constitution/constitution.html

Such as Articles 1-7, 15-24.

Red China is of course still a one-party state. Over there, what the government gives, the government can take away, should they feel like it.

Even the USSR had millionaires.

If you’re looking for a “true communist country”, then you are looking for a pipe dream. The Manifesto goes no further than making the socialist state all-powerful and lying about it “wither(ing) away”. So no need to bother talking about the lie.

In China as in the USSR They just happen to be members of the controlling state party (dictatorship).

Just a coincidence of course.

submit to slavery by the state.

LOL. As if the Constitution of any tyranny has ever meant a thing in practice. The USSR and most other commie countries had quite lovely constitutions. It's just that they were never more than window-dressing.

I'd like to see a reference to millionaires who legally owned private property of that amount.
