The modern CCP is also an imperialist power imposing its will upon the surrounding, poorer, less industrialized countries. Many issues arose from the Maoist period, specifically the deification of Mao himself in addition to the wider acceptance of elite control over the proles https://twitter.com/camarada_dan/status/1242237989457203201

to suggest that the CCP meets the definition of a "Dictatorship of the proletariat" is to ignore the fact that the system is extremely vulnerable to bad actors in the upper echelons of the government. There is no right to recall or general accountability of those in power.

You can never convince me that the police state that china runs, INCLUDING the Uighur camps is in the interest of the proletariat when the CCP has helped grow wealth inequality to a great degree over the period of its existence.

The CCP has done SOME good things, they respond to certain crises well and are competitive in a global, capitalist economy BECAUSE they are a global capitalist power. An international rejection of the wealthy and tearing down of all kinds of oppressive powers is the only way-

to move forward with marxist-defined socialism. IE actual worker ownership and equality.

China still has a long way to go for LGBTQ+ rights (as does the US) and freedom of the oppressed is essential to the future of socialism. Large police states are not the way IMO
