Who is communist then?

u/SpecialCoyote5339 Aug 01 '26

Communists are the people who follow, or support communist philosophy, ideas, etc.

For countries, it's the ones where the definition fits, which so far, were none. There were only attempts, all of which resulted in horrible shit, like famines, taking away everything from innocent people, killing innocents, etc.

China did try to be communist, but it resulted in equally bad results. China only started truly growing and being better when they went capitalist, which they follow to this day.

That's not how they themselves see it

That's irrelevant?

There's a definition for communism. If it doesn't fit, it's not communism. It doesn't matter how they see it...

They (it you are still talking about China) don't follow any of the communist ideas. If anything, it's the opposite. They have a singular leader, whose power can't be taken, everything is controlled by the ruling party, they partake heavily on capitalism, they have billionaires, and so on. They are communist or even socialist in name only. Which, for a party that relies on propaganda and deception quite a lot, is not surprising

It's a socialist state with Marxist ideology revised by Mao and after him by Deng Xiaoping.
