Reforms of Deng Xiaoping (I hope I made it right) were based on economic policy of early USSR when Lenin was still alive, called NEP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Economic_Policy

Look at influence.

Also on Bukharin if I m not wrong. During NEP Den Xiaoping and second future leader of Taiwan was recieving their education in Moscow. Kuomintang was once in coalition with Mao.

  • Yeah, the core idea behind these reforms is basic Marxism also. The peasants cannot build socialism because they are basically the same as the bourgeoisie. Only the proleteriat can build socialism.

    When the Civil War in Russia ended, the proleteriat was wiped out entirely. So Lenin could not build socialism without a strong proleteriat. The only way to build a new proleteriat was by implementing state capitalism, build new industry and then shifting the peasants into industry to make factory workers. Once the peasants were a small and weak group, the proleteriat could build true socialism.

    The exact same idea applies to China. The proleteriat continued to be small and weak while the peasants made up the masses well into the 1990's. NEP-style state capitalism was needed to rapidly build industry and then shift the peasants to factory workers.

    These are pretty standard concepts in Marxism.

    Yeah, it’s a basic Marxist concept. So basic it’s obsolete, unless you agree with the Mensheviks. That argument was made obsolete BY Lenin. The NEP was not to proletarianize the peasants, nor was it to develop productive forces. It was to give a brief reprieve after war communism and before continuing socialist transformation. Deng’s reforms were of a different character for a different purpose, and are not based in Lenin.

    China relied more on Lee Kwan Yew than they did Lenin.

    For sure they asked Lee to consult. China was lucky. It has a commercially talented diaspora, and there were still people within China who remembered when China had a market economy. China tapped the expertise of its diaspora.

    Russia had none of that advantage.

  • NEP was temporary retrieval from the disasters of the aftermath of the civil war and the exhaustion of war Communism,to prepare the country while building industries for a longer time economic development without privatisation. Note the USSR almost neared collapse due to ww1 and civil war,NEP was a temporary policy until they obtained enough industrial capital and political power to build on socialism more.

    China's conditions under Deng weren't really this,Deng's reforms were kept in mind for a more longer period with privatisation,it also allowed open capital influence of the party,let the national bourgeois join the party and influence local administrations etc.

    None of this took place under USSR,the NEPmen and Bukharin who advocated integration of bourgeois and kulaks into Soviet system,and wanted to continue NEP despite it overstaying it's time,were all purged and later executed when they attempted a coup with the Zinovievites and Trots.

    You can't exactly really compare two different conditions,that is war Communism policy run USSR and late Mao period China. This is complete underestimation of the material conditions faced by these two countries.

    This is the actual answer.

  • Was the privatisation of healthcare that led to lack of coverage for 95% of rural population and HIV epidemic through blood trade also based on Lenin?

  • LMAO

    So liberalizing the economy and reversing maoist policies is lenin policy. Got it. 

  • In 1919, 15-year-old Xiaoping, along with 80 other students, went to study in France.
    another French saboteur)

  • Sounds interesting. But I think CHN is far away from Leninism. It's obvious that lenin never name the state capitalism with "USSR featured socialism"

    That would be labeled national communism and this was strictly forbidden. USSR don't have a name of nation in it. The idea was that nations will join union and they made bunch of new nation states. Dushanbe bazar (monday market) become a state capital. Before there were medieval Bukhar khanate and Hiv khanate.
