They think Deng restored capitalism and installed a bourgeoise dictatorship. The problem with this view is it only works when you haven't read any Chinese socialism and only listen to Western armchair Marxists.

What about 3rd-world Marxists that have come to similar conclusions like the CPP-NPA-NDF

It also only works when you haven't seen how a restoration of capitalism in a socialist country actually looks like.

Honestly, it only works if one never studied the basics. One has to maliciously ignore or misinterprete Lenin and Engels to conclude China being capitalist.
