Barksing Marxing !

What are the requirements for worthy successors to the revolutionary cause of the proletariat? They must be genuine Marxist-Leninists and not revisionists like Khrushchev wearing the cloak of Marxism-Leninism. They must be revolutionaries who wholeheartedly serve the overwhelming majority of the people of China and the whole world, and must not be like Khrushchev who serves both the interests of the handful of members of the privileged bourgeois stratum in his own country and those of foreign imperialism and reaction. . Mao Tse Tung, 1964.

Mao always warned that revisionists, bureaucrats and Neo-bourgeouis would constantly lead the Party away from its revolutionary roots!!

In China, the right to private gun ownership is not guaranteed by law.

I'm sure Mr. Zhanxuan has nothing to fear.

China is best understood as a nation ruled by an emperor with a hereditary aristocratic class carrying out the emperor’s edicts. Unlike earlier dynasties, the throne isn’t hereditary (yet?), mainly because of a lack of non-defective sons or sons with political ambitions among the emperors with the strongest grip on power. Mao had his son killed by USAF airstrike. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Anying Deng’s only ambitious son, a Party member, was crippled during the Cultural Revolution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deng_Pufang Xi has one daughter.

I’d say China is Leninist, which is just a way for “Communists” to justify assuming the emperor’s and the aristocracy’s powers in “the people’s” name. It’s never really been Marxist except in name only. Famines certainly killed few officials except those executed as counter-revolutionaries for reporting accurate (dismal) numbers in order to try to summon up food aid to save the commoners (i.e. non-Party members) starving to death by the tens of millions.
