They had a problem a few years ago with student Marxist societies using their own readings of Marx to critique the Party’s leadership, which they of course came down on like a tonne of bricks. The CCP is about Marxism the way the Catholic Church is about the Bible: there’s only one valid interpretation, and it’s whatever the institution says it is at the time.
Are they not maoists? I don’t really pay too much attention to what exactly they have going on as fascism in my own country is more important to my daily life.
Interesting. My understanding of Chinese communism is apparently even more shallow than I already estimated. I just might read up more on it if I have the time.
The CPC. These “new reading of Marx”, are usually Maoist/Trotskyist fucks, also the entire claim doesn’t have a single source other than “US propaganda/Falun Gong/Radio Free Asia told me in my dreams”
And therefore they deserve repression? When you justify the action and then deny it in the same breath it makes the denial seem suspect. I admit I don’t know what - if anything - transpired between the CCP and the aforementioned student groups, but you’re not doing the CCP any favors by responding to allegations in this childish manner.

My chinese colleague said the state translations of Marx’s writings read like poetry haha
Given how dry Capital is id wager a bet that the writing it like poetry may be an anti-passing out measure.
China literally created an AI version of Marx and claimed they “Used AI to revive Karl Marx”
And then had that AI said that Karl Marx was “Secretly Chinese teh whole time!!!111”

No, they’re Dengists and Xi puts you in prison for giving Deng the credit for China’s current position.
Mao would hang the entire CCP if he was alive for being capitalist swine.

Are you commenting on their characterisation of the CCP or the Catholic church?
