Maoism vs Dengism

Which proved superior?

Why do some leftists credit Deng for the rapid development of China, a principally liberal view of Chinese history.

i feel like this conversation happens literally everyday just on different threads it's dreadful

 No.1831178

Both the Maoists and the Dengists are correct. The Maoists are correct when they call Deng a capitalist in a red garb, the Dengists are correct when they call him the authentic successor to Mao and upholder of MZT.

 No.1831180

It actually baffles that people demand that the CPC has to support Maoist insurgencies, when these guys call them revisionist Hitlerites, threaten them or are attacking Chinese businesses and consulates. I wouldn't support a person that openly calls for my physical liquidation.

China switched sides when it became clear that the CPN (Marxist-Leninist Center), the one that China supports, would come of the Nepalese civil war as a significant force.

The CPC has no obligation to support Maoist parties. They support communist parties in India and the Philippines, just not the one Western leftists like to fetishize because of pictures of cute guerilla girls.

Secondly, China under Mao had a pretty retarded foreign policy, Deng actually normalized it.

A false dichotomy predicated on purity tests
Opening up reforms are why under MZT agriculture didn't disintegrate like the USSR's actually.
Deng (to play with your facile great man history for a second) rigged the economy to industrialize with foreign capital instead of letting agriculture development be sidelined to industrialize (only to sell those manufactured goods at a pittance to the west anyways). Also uses the wealth they have gained from these geopolitical games to develop trading partners on the lower end of the value chain permanently upending the imperial system which relies on the colonial value ladder remaining in suspended animation

Because they never attack American businesses and consulates. The Shining Path attacked Cubans, Chinese and Soviets, but to my knowledge never Americans.

Never saw that as an argument. Unlike your lala land, China is a significant world power, with tons of Westerners moving to China. Communist delegations are always visiting China.

When you yourself own Soviet memorabilia or whatever.
>Vast majority will never move to China or even learn Chinese, spending their days demanding support for a country that couldn't give less of a shit about them
You realize the goal of communists should be to change conditions in their own country. That doesn't preclude learning from China or other past socialist projects. "If you like communism so much, why don't you move to North Korea!!" is a rightoid argument by the way.

>I wonder why you didn't bring up the Philippines whose ongoing Maoist insurgency recognize the CCP for the liberal revisionists that they are.

They fucking give interviews on Radio Free Asia (literally CIA) and tell them they are going to attack Chinese. The CPC's sister party is the older PKP-1930 who disagree with the splinter CPP on armed insurgency - which, by the fucking way, sues for peace with the government (pic related) and an end to the conflict.

This isn't the Cold War where revolutions and waves of communist insurgencies swept half the globe. The communist struggle remains fractured and in pockets, Nepal is the only example I can think of, that pencil guy in Peru was a catastrophe, and maybe local victories like the KPÖ in Graz and Salzburg. How would China "help"? Funding communist parties in the West and get them banned for receiving money from a foreign actor? Organizing exchanges and seminars? They are doing that.

I agree insofar that their integration into the world economy compromises their support to potentially armed struggles. But when China was completely isolated, under Mao, they did a even worse foreign policy like supporting Pinochet and retarded shit like that.

They've been relatively neglected; there's efforts by the CPC to address the worst held communities but the best way to deal with rural indigence is to move them to the cities.

That said, under Chinese law, peasants retain non-transferable land use rights, so even when they move into cities, they're technically "propertied" and if the going gets bad, they can still go home.

The struggle still continues! Also China's capitalist efficiency today can solely be credited to the socialist base established during Mao's time. Marxism-Leninism-Maoism all the way.

Export of capital is not de facto imperialist. When Chavez on Venezuela came to power he needed a way to boost social spending without taking loans from the World Bank and IMF. China cooperated and aided him. Laos today has also received many loans in order to maintain economic stability. Ecuador during Correa and Bolivia under Morales received aid as well from the Chinese. The entire argument about Chinese export of capital is ridiculous when tons of money has been committed to help socdem and socialist governments stabilize. If anyone on this board was smart enough to launch a revolution in their homeland they would need Chinese money during the transition process but since everyone here is retarded they can sit in their suburban amerikkkan homes crying about the chinks and dengoids. Btw Deng himself offered aid to East Germany at the end of the Cold War to keep it alive and that information only got declassified in 2021/2022 but we still have retards on this board calling him a capitalist roader.

Here's a study from someone who actually has a brain who realized that China's economic assistance to both Ecuador and Bolivia skyrocketed when left wing movements came to power in comparison to economic ties under previous governments. China likes being subtle so they will never announce their aid to anyone but will just pretend like it's business as usual.

Maoism is superior at the initial stage of revolution and state building, delivering good educational and health outcomes to the masses. Dengism is better once you have the cultural infrastructure for industrialization. Xiism is best when you are industrialized; I.e, SOEs control the economy and deliver high value-added goods.

Reading the synopsis, they are setting themselves out to debunk the arguments that China is still in the shackles of US imperialism. They call that quasi-Kautskyist. First off, I find this to be inconsistent with the Maoist tradition, which called China "social imperialist" only a few years after Deng took over. China obviously was in a much different position then, with the West obviously imperializing China by export of capital for cheap labor.

But anyway, any serious Leninist analysis of imperialism begins "at home", with the formation and power dynamic of the national political economy, not with the relation to other potentially imperialist competitors. It's starts with the entanglement of monopoly industrial capital and bank capital towards finance capital, the formation of cartels that are relatively independent from the polity and state, and begin to subsume the former. After that, there is a historical subjective element that you need incorporate to avoid economic reductionism. A part of that is the genesis of the Chinese state, China went through a phase of national consolidation and socialist revolution, removing the vestiges of imperialism and bureaucratic capitalism. The institutions of socialism were never dismantled in China. If Deng did represent a capitalist takeover, a clean break like the Warsaw Pact countries would have been visible. Instead, Deng strengthened the socialist state institutions and Party organs, Gorbachev and Yeltsin dismantled them.

Obviously China takes things further than the Soviet NEP, but still, if you read Lenin's contribution to the Communist International, he specifically pointed out that their "state-capitalism" exists under the pretext of a "socialist republic", which he contrasts in terms of essence, although appearing similar in form, with bourgeois forms of state-capitalism, the example he uses is the clearly reactionary German Empire during the phase of its war economy in World War I.

Not just economic theory, theories of socialist statecraft as well. If they don't have that it will just be a never Nepal, where "Prachanda Path" was a failure. Conviently, other Maoists can just immediately write them off as revisionists the moment they take power.

The same would have happened to the Shining Path, no matter how extreme they were before.

You have no interest in such things. Like Turkey and India, you think that you can develop through cooperation with imperialists.
That is why you get hung up on bullshit when you see dependency theory arguments about how superprofits are distributed to the top 10% of American workers and other labor aristocrats in the imperial core, and you think it's the Infrared!Haz argument that baristas are the labor aristocracy.

I understood these things years ago, because I am very inquisitive whenever I am presented with truly new ideas. Few people on this website can manage that, despite trying to be as lulzy and holds-up-spork-random as possible. I do actually have to go eat dumplings now. Take care. Read the 2018 article "The New Imperialist Structure" if you want to see one of Amin's final takes on this world. Or just leave good writing it lying on the ground and go eat poop like a dog

>read book?
I have a lot to read already on my plate and a lot to reread. The reason I do not blindly regurgitate the names of authors for others to read the works on is because I consider myself a student that is still learning. It would be wrong to suggest a book or theory out of the blue. Amin will surely come up on the long list of books eventually but cursory knowledge of his theory and his writings clearly show a deprioritization of class struggle.
But I will get to it nonetheless. His writings on Eurocentrism did pique my interest.

>you think that you can develop through cooperation with imperialists.

??? Cooperation entails a sense of collective comradery. There is none under imperialism only subjugation. You think I stand at the polar opposite of this argument. You are wrong. We both see imperialism as the primary problem, but where we differ is who we see as the revolutionary class. You see the national bourgeoise as the spearhead for development. I see the proletariat as the revolutionary class and peasantry allied together in which the national bourgeoise should be subservient to. That is where (as far as I see) our primary differences lie (as well as basic Leninist definitions of imperialism and understanding of modern revisionism).

Man, I swear your whole goal is just to write uninteresting drivel. I don't even understand how you expect this to be a conversation. Samir Amin wrote so many fucking articles, many of which are abridged versions of chapters in his books. His writing is designed to get to the core of the ideas he is expressing, although it is extensively sourced and will fill up your reading list with other historians instantaneously. "Reading lists" are a fake idea. I have every book in the world on my reading list, but there is a priority system which shift constantly. There is no % doneness to my reading list. I recommend you read these books rather than trying to get people like me to give you dumbed-down blurbs or our book reports so that you can extrapolate from them to whatever bullshit you'd rather criticize than the actual argument.
See the Jacobin article about multipolarity which was reposted recently on the Twitter. (Last one which was a quote tweet or post and not a retweet (3 likes! truly you picked the best time to get into twitter: when it's chock-full of [ M Y P U S S Y I N B I O ] , child rapists, and child rape itself), so it shows up on Google News rss) Rather than engage with the historical and economic material cited by anti-imperialists and also nationalists of semi-peripheral and peripheral countries (because they are facts), it makes a series of unanalytical historical parallels between the multipolarity of WWI (which I must stop and remind you was squabbling between the very European colonialist countries which make up a bulk of the EU-Japan-ROK-Taiwan-Aukus imperial system today, with the exception of Russia which has been denied even the position of Turkey as a sub-imperialist liason, and as a result of the covid and Ukraine crisis and sanctions has pivoted to Asia) and the multipolarity which will return as a result of the crumbling of the imperialists' ability to rejuvenate the colonial system, handicapping the development of the third world to ensure it serves as a cheap source of natural resources and labor. The premise they brushed past was that unipolarity somehow made the world more peaceful. It's really childish how these people are unable to conceptualize of any nation acting differently than imperialist countries. Unipolarity signified not just by these military uninhibited, merciless interventions and covert actions on peripheral countries, but by the imperialists' preeminence in international institutions that is felt so painfully in Gaza today, with the US's supreme position in financial matters and international financial organizations which manage lending, critical for keeping neocolonies debt-trapped & selling things on the dollar for a pittance.
One example of emerging multipolarity is the ability of Sahel countries to put down IS style terrorists with Russian weaponry. I guess that kind of thing makes you shake in your boots.
For most of the world, the idea that there is some "emerging threat" of other countries no longer being forced to let the US break international law at will is completely asinine. That's why it's published in Jacobin, one of the most infamous laughingstocks of western leftism. I would be happy to list of some of their greatest hits, but I know you're busy rereading The Very Hungry Caterpillar with other ancoms or whatever it is you think you are.
