    That’s a fine ideal to strive towards, an communism, including the Chinese government hopes to get there some day.

      China hasn’t been a communist country in a long time. That was the whole point of the Deng reforms.

        China is still communist even if they allow non essential industries to engage in capitalism. The entire point of dengism is to prevent ussr syndrome and avoid collapse and temptation due to stupid shit. Over 60% of the economy by GDP including all essential services, is owned by the people. The private sector exists solely to grow technological and industrial capacity, and is shrinking year by year.

          FTFY

          If the state represented the people, why does the Chinese government kill workers who try to organize so damn much? It’s because the state =/= the people. What you described is just capitalism where the state is one of the capitalist class. The difference with the US is that the US government is owned by the capitalist class rather than being one of it.
