Just in case somebody think that Xi is an enlightened ruler and no longer a communist, he may have to revise his view.

There’s over a hundred million people who would like to disagree, but cannot.

Imagine what China would be like if they had studied the teachings of Jesus.

Communism lacks several important elements, the greatest of which is individual motivation to grow and succeed.

There is a modified form of government I refer to as communalism. The big difference is that people work for the benefit of the community out of Love, not fear of consequences.

Having visited China several times (first visit 1980,most recent visit 2015) what strikes me about my most recent visit is that you can see glass and steel buildings and traffic jams in central Guangzhou and then travel 10 miles south and find people living like so many in Africa do (I've seen *that* as well).

China,IMO,is a country of a few thousand millionaires,a few hundred billionaires and about 1.2 billion people living the same lives as their ancestors of 1,500 years ago.

Good grief, talk about Cultural Appropriation !!

He has to say this. Marxism is the only thing that gives his regime even the appearance of legitimacy. He doesn’t rule with the consent of the people. He doesn’t rule with the consent of the gods, or God. It is only an ideology that no one really believes in that legitimizes his rule. If he abandons Marx he’s gone.

[P.O.E.]

Marx's theory still shines

Like a polished turd.

[DoodleBob]

Those pictures are chilling. Yet they remind us of how close to the edge we came in the US...Is there any doubt we'd have several similar celebrations this year if the 2016 election came out differently?

[MUDDOG]

still shines

Fire. He brings you to burn.

Marx made a HUGE mistake in positing that man is motivated only by materialism

In fact man is motivated by the need for freedom and liberty supported by materialism.

For this reason socialism and communism has failed repeatedly and continues to fail. Marxism is nothing but an excuse for the totalitarian state.It will never support the pursuit of happiness or a more perfect social union that has freedom as its foundation.

The more moolah you make in your racket,

The quicker you go to a higher bracket.

Yes,yes it does.

[Migraine]

He can’t possibly be hinting that the workers are in charge of all those chinese mega companies.

[Neoliberalnot]

Marx was simply hired by elites to construct a new form of tyranny with a different name to exploit the masses. The reality is hanging a new name on tyranny doesn’t change the fact that rule by monarchs, socialist, dictators, communists, and gangs are everyone, crimes against humanity. They have murdered millions of innocent people and yet their thirst for power, property, and blood is never satisfied. The psychopaths that rise to the top of these criminal empires simply require execution.

Marx's theory still shines with truth

That is, of course, a load of bull. Marx did the world a favor, when he assumed room temperature. Now, if we could get a few million more commie bastards to do the same, we would all be better off.
I think it really IS true, the only good communist, is a dead 💀 one. 👍

[PeterPrinciple]

Xi said Marxism is a scientific theory that reveals the rule of human society development in a creative manner.

Interesting:

It is scientific?

The word theory says one thing but the headlines states, it is truth.

In a creative manner?

One has to read this slowly............................

[Bryanw92]

>>Marx showed how humanity would leap from the realm of necessity to the realm of freedom and the road for the people to realize freedom and liberation

So, why do they work their people like slaves in factories that make consumer goods for capitalists to enjoy?

[mjp]

Marx's exploitation theory consists of invalid conclusions and makes wrong predictions. It is wrong about:

1) the existence of the dialectic process
2) metaphysical materialism
3) its abstract conceptual framework
4) its absolute labor theory of value
5) its theory of prices
6) its theory of profit (surplus value)
7) its iron law of wages
8) doctrine of progressive impoverishment.

When the absurdities of the exploitation theory are fully understood, it will be clear that never before in all of human history has a greater bunch of pompous ignoramuses with pretensions to knowledge behaved more destructively and self-destructively - made themselves more a spectacle of downright fools meriting the utter contempt of all mankind - than have the marxist intellectuals of the last four or five generations. Their lack of genuine knowledge will be seen to be surpassed only by their lack of genuine intellect.

Karl Marx ... the guy who never worked a job, borrowed money off a rich friend, spent time in libraries doing research designed to eradicate capitalism while his family went hungry, invented an unproven economic system where he tried to make the French Revolution a world-wide phenomenon and get it cultivated into other countries, which has resulted in the untold murder of million upon millions of people all over the world.

You mean that guy?

The only reason China is not starving today is because they have taken on capitalism which they have found very successful. So if it weren't for the U.S. they would now have nothing but misery.

I wonder when China will erect a statue to American capitalism?

[Mr. Jeeves]

He knows bettter, but he has a billion peasants he cannot afford to let believe otherwise.
