Third position. Not capitalist or communist. Fascism would be 3P. National socialism would be 3P. Shit like duginism would be the fourth position.
Gotcha! I wouldn’t call China Marxist, but you figure it’s national socialist?
Probably more direct government control and ownership over corporations than the reich had which allowed everything pretty much to be privatized just with harsh punishments and corporatism. It’s probably more economically to the left of natsoc germany. If it was on the political compass it would probably be a tad to the left of the reich which would be at the very top middle. China has markets and billionaires for fucks sake they are not Marxian socialist at all. The only thing communist about them is their flag and their party name. If I had to give it a name it would be a fascist technocracy.
I’m no expert so I’ll stay open minded, but I always figured Maoism was sufficiently communist not to liken it to NatSoc? Having (many) billionaires sure makes it hard to blindly call them Marxist, but I always figured that was simply by situational necessity to raise a billion dirt farmers into the 1st world after the Bolsheviks and zionists teamed up to hand them the entire world economic engine. I think China would shut down their entire economy and let 90% of their ppl starve as soon as it wasn’t necessary for control. The amount of micro control they have over daily lives makes it hard to compare to natsoc. Nobody in 37-38 Germany was being forced to do anything, China is just exactly what the USSR would have been if US zionists handed them their economy instead of China.
Pretty general terms I know, but I compare that to ppl saying what we have now in the west is fascism. I think rapid trajectory has to be accounted for when labeling some modern states. Like the US isn’t heading for fascism, but in many ways resembles fascism for now, but I think that’s only because any cronie capitalist state has to resemble aspects of fascism if it’s going to transform into communism without hot war revolution. It’s just what capitalist to communist incrementalism looks like during non violent transition.
