The Chinese aren’t communist, they’re fascist.
Are you saying the Chinese are more like Franco and Pinochet than Trotsky and Lenin? Trotsky and Lenin believed in the equality of the masses. Life sucked for all Russians under them. The Chinese seem to me to follow the Stalin model where a well cared for cadre drag the masses through Hell. It looks more communism to me. The masses have little material wealth, they have no choice, and the trains don't run on time.
