If there's going to be a second wave of socialist uprisings in the world in the near future, which country do you think is going to become the first second wave people's democracy?

With China’s popularity rising, there has to come a point where a country’s population decides to say:
“We need to follow a Marxist-Leninist model pronto if we want to remain a functioning society, because capitalism isn’t working anymore.”
Which country is gonna say it first?

My guess goes to..

Pakistan

You could start by identifying the successful Marxist-Leninist country. I don’t think there is one.

china was already mentioned

Calling China Marxist is certainly a take.

calling china capitalist is another.

At least calling it capitalist would be more accurate.

Either way, I don’t think anyone is gonna be truly Marxist anytime soon. Too many statists in this world for Marxist principles to flourish.

no it would not. it sounds to me you don’t know what marxist principles are.

I know they involve the abolition of the state, and I know that’s not something statists will ever allow.

Based on the .ml, I must admit I’m assuming you’re one of the statists. Lots of authoritarians around there.

communism is the abolition of the state. socialism is the transition to a stateless society by using the bourgeois state against them.

marx himself (and later deng xiaoping, since the subject is the chinese state) believed capitalism and markets were necessary to develop productive forces before communism could happen.

please read marx before throwing names at people. this is the basics of marxism.

So pretty much what I said, yeah. Dang (or Deng, since the subject is the chinese state), I got a good grasp on marxism. Except I recall Marx explicitly rejecting markets, and Engels rephrasing it more bluntly.

Either way, China is in no way shape or form moving towards the abolition of the state. Not very Marxist of them.
