If you agree that communism is a failure, how do you explain

Q:

If you agree that communism is a failure, how do you explain the success of China?

 

A:

Karl Marx considered that a communist society can only be realized in the world as a whole. He got this conclusion through the historical materialism method, a scientific method to study the evolution of human civilization. From this classic definition, communism has never been realized yet. As a consequence, nobody can talk about its failure.

Communism will come when production power is high enough that everyone can enjoy abundant living materials. This was a fact in Human history (or pre-history), as anthropologists find that many backward tribes did living in a communist society where there is no concept of property. Science is based on facts and observed evidence, Marx’s communism theory is not an exception.

Newton discovered the laws of mechanics, yet some engineers still build bridges that collapsed. That's not Newton's false. It's false of the engineers. And it cannot prevent other engineers to build a solid bridge. Similarly, just because some communist countries failed does not mean other communist countries cannot succeed.

The Communist movement is a social movement, inspired by Marx's scientific communism theory. Yet not every communist understands Karl Marx, just as some engineers miscalculated Newton’s mechanics' laws and build a lousy bridge. The global communist movement has gone. There is no communist movement in the world today.

By Karl Marx's understanding, proletarians in the communist revolution are not only for their own interest, but they also represent the interest of the whole Human Beings. When proletarians end the capitalist society, they annihilate not only capitalists but also proletarians. When proletarians realized communism, they saved not only themselves but also capitalists. They even save capitalists before saving themselves. That's Marx's claim: proletarians can save themselves only by saving the whole Human Being. Yes, you got it right, capitalists need to be saved. They are not the master of capital, but the slave of the capital. It is called the alienation of Human Beings. All world leaders want peace but wars continue. The world is out of the control of Human Beings. The capital is in charge of the world. The profit is in charge of the world. Capitalism cannot solve the problem. Only communism can.

If communism is an inevitable consequence of the development of production power, then we don't need a communist movement in the world but just focus on economic development. Communism will come naturally.

China is a country focused on economic development, not on ideology. China doesn't even mention this in practice, as economic growth will lead to communism. Communism, as a scientific theory, is value-neutral. There is not a good scientific theory, nor an evil scientific theory. Communism is a scientific law discovered by Karl Marx. China is annihilating proletarians by reducing poverty, and by getting rich together. When everyone is rich, there are no proletarians anymore. China has no intention to kill capitalists in China or in the US. China is trying to save capitalists from the tyrant of capital.

Chinese companies usually have a lower profit margin than that in the US; however, it is China that makes the largest contribution to the growth of the world economy now. The will of capital is somehow contained by the will of people in China, that’s the communist way of development. China is also the largest contributor to reducing world poverty, even though the size of the economy of China is not larger than that of the US, not to mention all developed world.

Not only China will succeed, but also the US will fail. Because China is following the scientific law of Marx's theory, just like an engineer follows Newton's laws of mechanics. The US will fail like an engineer who does not follow scientific laws.

Communism is not a failure and China will continue to succeed.
