I read this a few years ago and several things jumped out at me as troubling. Primarily defining “risk labor” as a legitimate category of work, allowing for capitalists to be counted as workers.
I generally support China, in that they should resist American Imperialism and are not as repressive as liberal propaganda says, however from a Marxist point of view it’s difficult to read discussions like this happening within the party and conclude China is actually socialist. How is this discussion not simply the logical end of Dengism, an attempt to discredit Mao and his leadership of China after the civil war?
Do you happen to have any resources on changes Xi’s made along these lines?
