The jet-ski escapee is Chinese rights activist Kwon Pyong. He had posted pictures on social media mocking Chinese President Xi Jinping, and spent time in jail in China for subversion.
China is no longer communist. At all. You got your private property, private economy and the list goes on.
While I agree that a ‘pure’ Marxism application leads to dictatorship, it’s still an interesting ideology responsible for most of social progress in Western Europe for example (look up what role commies had in liberated France and what laws they put into place : we’re talking health care, paid leave, etc…)
China’s a technocratic dictatorship, if you have read Marx, you KNOW he’s rolling in his grave thinking about how China twisted his works.
Eh, kinda yes but really no. Communism always leads to autocracy, which again always leads to genocide. So saying communism doesnt lead to genocide is splitting hairs and doesnt really help with preventing genocides
