>on todays episode of leftypol throws around words and labels they don't understand You can criticise China and Vietnam for being state capitalist, but neo-liberalism is fucking silly. 1. The state/ and/or local provinces have a lot more control of the economy, wheras neo-liberalism is categorised by minimal government regulation. 2. Both Vietnam and China are categorised by having a communist party as the head of their governments. Now we can talk about socialist govs with multi-party states, or no parties at all, but hardly any of them can be considered neo-liberal based on the governmental structure and roll the government plays for the people. You want to call them revisionist for not abolishing the current state of things or eliminating the state, go nuts, but just because you eliminate "the state"depending on the definition doesn't exactly mean you've established socialism: prime examples being EZLN chiapas, AANES, Anarchist Spain or the Free Territory of the Ukraine. 3. Just because they haven't achieved socialism doesn't mean that they shouldn't be supported, at the very least critically. Owing to the collapse of the soviet union and the failure of 20th century ML states initiating an international revolution (be it due to external or internal influence or factors out of their control), Vietnam logically went about approaching the situation to ensure the survival of their nation with the hand that they had been dealt. Socialist governments having to rely on an element of commodity production/ markets in order to survive isn't unheard of and isn't limited to ML nations alone (using EZLN chiapas and AANES again as an example). 4. Socialism doesn't just happen overnight, and sure we can moan and bitch about how Vietnam may have stagnated in its mission, but calling it neo-lib is utterly laughable and honestly makes me question why the fuck you'd even go about antagonising it. Lord knows when I was younger I used to hate the guts out of China for going revisionist. And while I still certainly seethe over the decision, given the fact there are genuine revolutionaries in the communist party and they are challenging US hegemony, I can at LEAST give them critical support. tl; dr OP's being a ding-dong and hand wringing over Vietnam being neo-lib which it isn't.

There are no plans to revise this because private health insurance is a multi-trillion dollar industry in China and Xi says he opposes increasing social welfare because they're "handouts." The Republic of China (Taiwan) and Hong Kong on the other hand have fully free and universal health insurance coverage for their citizens.

>>674565 >Noone is addressing anything regarding changes Vietnam made. Blame them from running from subject matter to deflect to other topics Le trollerino, here:
>The first phase of communism, therefore, cannot yet provide justice and equality; differences, and unjust differences, in wealth will still persist, but the exploitation of man by man will have become impossible because it will be impossible to seize the means of production–the factories, machines, land, etc.–and make them private property. In smashing Lassalle's petty-bourgeois, vague phrases about “equality” and “justice” in general, Marx shows the course of development of communist society, which is compelled to abolish at first only the “injustice” of the means of production seized by individuals, and which is unable at once to eliminate the other injustice, which consists in the distribution of consumer goods "according to the amount of labor performed" (and not according to needs). >And so, in the first phase of communist society (usually called socialism) "bourgeois law" is not abolished in its entirety, but only in part, only in proportion to the economic revolution so far attained, i.e., only in respect of the means of production. "Bourgeois law" recognizes them as the private property of individuals. Socialism converts them into common property. To that extent–and to that extent alone–"bourgeois law" disappearshttps://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/ch05.htm Anonymous 2022-01-05 (Wed) 06:31:37 No. 674574
>>674563 Mate, do you even read the sources you pulled up? They state Vietnam took inspiration from China's opening up in order to survive, albeit with a more decentralised form and allowing more of the provinces autonomy and control over their economies.
Again, market reforms doesn't make a country neo-liberal. Are you saying that places like AANES or Chiapas are neo-liberal due to them having a market economy? Hell why not chuck Yugoslavia in for good measure!
Again, so long as either the state, communes, provinces etc. have ultimate control of the economy and the private sector, this cannot be considered neo-liberal. Australia for instance, despite having a parliament and a prime minister still has to answer to the queen. You'd hardly call it an indpendent nation or republic because of that, despite the relative "autonomy" that the Queen grants the nation.
And again, Neo-Liberalism is also categorised by its government structure. Vietnam is ruled by a 1 party communist government. It's hardly liberal-bourgoise democracy in practice and the party still has final say on policies that may pass/ are initiated.
So, without the risk of sounding like a broken record- if you want to call Vietnam state capitalist OWING to its market reforms, sure, but it is hardly neo-liberal.

>>674571 According to
The State and Revolution neither China nor Vietnam is socialist btw. They are still in the state-capitalism phase, approaching socialism (for example key things like replacing value with use production has yet to be achieved in either countries, i.e. labor vouchers/tokens). I'd say Vietnam is closer due to not having such a batshit insane decollectivization / privatization / liberalization like that which Deng and followers instituted. Vietnam still for example have a large cooperative sector next to their state-owned sector, this is a huge advantage and also creates more domestic stability in the case for a decisive policy shift towards socialism in the future.

>>674576 While I'm somewhat skeptical on them decisevly shifting towards socialism in the future (mostly due to internationalist capitalism still being deeply ingrained in the overall world economy), this anon is right.
Owing to the governments relation to the economy its for this reason that Vietnam can't be called neo-lib.

Agreed, which is why Vietnam must collapse and plunge hundreds of millions into poverty so that a western backed fascist regime can take power. At least when that happens we can declare a half-assed people's war™! Neoliberal or not, it's best that we support them (or at least not speak out against them) and not give any legitimacy to the imperialists eyeing these countries.
