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.

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.

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

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