Well you see, if China doesn't follow exactly what Hoxha said, it can't be Marxist. Hoxha was the only true Marxist and Albania was the only true socialist state. Marxism is unchanging and rigid and no one can ever do anything different based on their country's material conditions and circumstances. If a country ever makes mistakes, does anything I personal disagree with, it is an evil revisionist capitalist hellscape.

The US and the west are evil, but I utilize their information channels for all of my opinions of other countries, or I base all my opinions on purist infighting from the 1970s and won't ever accept that there may be alternate paths to the same goal. You are stupid and wrong for having a different opinion than me, revisionist pig.

But in all seriousness, I appreciated your updated response, saved me from having to write a book at work.

As I understand it, capitalism is used a tool by the Chinese planned economy to increase the power and well-being of the socialist state. It is kept locked in a cage and beaten down when it steps out of line. Deng realized the inherent growth and power of that growth that capitalism inherently espouses, and manipulated it. Truly bringing about a successful (ongoing) transitional phase from one to the other.

Xinjiang is incredible to visit, the Uyghur language is beautiful and the culture is robust and everywhere, I loved my trip there. My uncle who went there in the 90s went with me this time and said it felt like Uyghur culture was much more realized, much less ultra conservative fundamentalists everywhere, safer in general. People forget that Islamist (referring to Salafist/Wahhabi and other ultra-conservative Islamic political fundamentalist groups) groups destroy culture and tradition as an aspect of their ideology.
