Yes, China is Communist.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is literally in their name. They have a five-year plan. It is a single-party state. They have a planned economy. The means of production are owned by the State. Everyone has healthcare and education. It's a fucking socialist state.<br><br>Communists: China is not real communism because they don't have collective farms and the means of production isn't owned by the people.<br><br>That reasoning is like saying the United States isn't capitalist because they don't have unfettered, laissez-faire capitalism and have welfare. That's a bullshit argument, it is.<br><br>The closest thing to a real-life utopian socialist state is Scandinavia. That's what we should be aiming for. China is an authoritarian, genocidal, expansionist regime that shows how Fascism is truly on.<br><br>EDIT: China is not Stalinist. Stalin believed in heavy industry and was happy to let the Kulaks starve and die. China has nothing but farms. China is more like Leninist. EDIT ADD: Lenin wanted rapid industrialization. China is not Leninist. <br><br>EDIT: China is not Fascist. They do not believe that the State should control private industry for the good of the nation. China is not Democratic Socialist. They do not believe the State should control industry and the means of production for the good of the people. They just believe that the State should control industry and the means of production. Nothing is collective or for the people.<br><br>EDIT: China is not Marxist. Marx believed in a temporary Socialist State necessary for a classless society. The CCP believes in State Capitalism and has rejected a classless society. They do not want Communism and have rejected it.
