Interesting that the Red Chinese are embracing Confucius. Usually Communists have to jettison their cultural traditions, and any ancient heroes do can’t be remolded as proto-communists. Confucius is fine for natural virtue and being generally a decent repository for wisdom (though not a true philosopher). He certainly isn’t the Little Red Book.
When Red China comes out of the darkness, the great Chinese cultural heritage will certainly be part of it. Sad that western Universities are acting more like Communists than the Communists are.

That’s because they are Postmodernists, AKA neo-Communists, latter-day Communists, what the 1960’s Marxists evolved into.

About 45m, but very worthwhile.
More and more it seems that China is reverting to it’s totalitarian roots.
Confucius appeals to the authoritarian character of every government they’ve ever created. Take away the ideological window dressing and that’s all there is to communism.
