Chinese Communism: Leninism Meets Corporatism

Chinese President Xi Jinping in meeting at the mid-term Communist Party Congress (of his 10 year term of office) put out a vision of a new socialist China open to the world. It seems that China has a fair chance of being the world leader and principle economic power in the decades ahead. How did China manage that (besides U.S. political perfidy and corruption regarding the lack of classic political virtue?).

China took the path of Leninism rather than Stalinism in its application of the principles of Marxism in recent decades. While the cultural revolution was neo-Stalinist, Mao’s era was fundamentally revolution without the time paradigm for too much beyond consolidation and basic industrialization/defense.

Stalin was cultist like Dictator Kim Jong Un and purged the Soviet Communist Party of Leninists that were willing to follow Lenin’s choice for New Economic Policy and five year NEP plans allowing limited independent free enterprise to exist. Stalin centralized power, purged the ranks of any sort of leftover sympathies for free enterprise and industrialized while increasing his power base. When he died any sort of liberalization met leftover Stalinist elements and it became reasonable to adopt a moderate Trotskyite global export of revolution seeking world dominion of communism that Stalin has eschewed. The U.S. Col War conflict with the former Soviet Union meant that it had to battle Trotskyite forces and push the Soviet State back toward the more moderate realm of Leninism eventually lest an erstwhile dictator arise and take up the sole hard-line plan remaining; total global thermonuclear war.

Chinese leadership benefit from the end of the former Soviet Union and the natural insatiable greed of Wall Street to open China for business and sales rather than nuclear war. Leninism as a moderate force of modernization that works with global corporatism created the foundation of a future global corporate-socialist elite-run world state that annihilates individual free enterprise except as it is subordinated by law to the networked ruling elites.

I wrote about an alternate economic system that is possible for the U.S.A. in a short essay that could provide a different paradigm for the U.S.A. as a good example for pother nations to follow. Besides that, public debt for the U.S.A. and the concentration of wealth and power globally in a far less than ecological economic efficiency is the general drift.
