They hated him because he told the truth

Not anymore. Now it's a self-perpetuating capitalist oligarchy, with a fair helping of totalitarianism. Any hint of communism has been stamped out, although they can fairly claim some (very selective) socialism.

It's a shame, too. It's quite shocking, if you spend some time there, to see how un-communist the country really is. Maybe things are a bit better in the countryside, but the cities (even smaller ones) are far less for the average person than an equivalent city in, say, the Nordics. I've only been to Sweden once but it seemed to me far closer to what that idealized society might look like.
- While I'm inclined to agree, aren't a bunch of the Nordic countries also propped up by a ton of oil money? Norway's sovereign wealth fund, for example, is worth over a trillion US dollars.
  Kinda makes it easier to have a good quality of life when you're filthy stinking rich.
  Ofc, you can compare that to other countries with vast oil wealth, like the UAE, and there are some pretty stark differences, so tons of money certainly isn't the only cause.
- Agreed!
But ml assures me CCP is communist.
- There was a meme on there the other day with a Mao quote about how brainwashing is good, actually.
  It's impossible to parody.
How can they claim Marxism when they have an investor class and stock markets?
- Well Karl Marx theorized that communism would arise after a long period of social evolution. Therefore they are just socially evolving and not capitalist and somehow not hypocrites.
- Do they claim marxism? Because communism can take other forms like State and Leninist. Nobody does marxist communism, there’a always some cult of personality, dictatorship, or tyrant at the helm and the people get lip service and the worst aspects of social policy designed to extract wealth and power. Instead of multiple corporation trying to control you and having to play nice to keep you vs the other guys, the State becomes the rotten corporation beholden to nobody and only has to offer enough service to keep everyone from revolting while holding them essentially hostage.
- "Oh no, not Marxism. We are Keynesian communists."
- Because if you dare contradict them there are consequences.

But Chemical X is just another ingredient, not the result of the first 3 ingredients.

Spiderman sees better without his glasses.
- That one makes me disappointed every time, because its never used properly
Lol it's a meme I crossposted from someone else since it got removed from !memes@lemmy.world for being "political"
- But... You did the meme wrong

Isn't the fourth panel supposed to be the fourth ingredient?
\ (Chemical X, the ingredient, not toddler superheros, the result)

So they added CCP to the socialism with Chinese characteristics, and to the communism, and to the capitalism.

What was the result?

Edit: Oh, zkfcfbzr already stated the same :)

I guess you could argue the CCP is somehow separate from the other ingredients and the end result is Modern China but I'd have just gone with "nationalism" for Ingredient X.

Or the mods aren’t looking to fight with tankies?

Nooo, you can't call out the """"""""axis of resistance"""""""!

While i agree this is a horrible meme. You used the format completely incorrectly

The forth panel should be Han ethnonationalism

Communism everywhere!
