No, I consider Socialism to be a transitional state towards Communism. I don't have to trust the CPC to recognize that over half of the economy is Publicly Owned and planned, and that the minority of the economy in the Private Sector depends heavily on the Public Sector and is shrinking as the CPC increases ownership and control over it as it centralizes, right in line with Engels.

Secondly, you claim my analysis is idealistic because I think "a Capitalist society is Socialist as long as the leadership claims to be communist." Where? Where did I make that claim? All of my analysis depended on factual, observable reality, from the large and robust Public Sector to the increasing power over the Private Sector. Xi could claim to be a liberal and we would have to seriously doubt his intentions as the Public Sector is only growing and the government is slowly folding the Private into the Public! The fact that Xi has a doctorate in Marxism is irrelevant entirely to my analysis, though it certainly doesn't hurt.

Furthermore, you failed to explain how the PRC is Capitalist! You leave your opinions open, unbacked, unverified, and unprotected as though they are common sense, when the evidence points to the contrary.

Finally, I don't know what you mean by "simping for Lenin." Lenin is one of the most important Marxists in history, and his work is invaluable to Marxism in the modern world. That doesn't mean I "simp" for him. I'm a Marxist-Leninist, I take Marxism seriously, and so far you've failed to demonstrate any actual understanding of Marxism.
