It’s a communist revolution…

… Marx would be turning in his grave!

D

Seriously, Yesterday, President Jang Zemin basically jettisoned communism in his manifesto speech on the Chinas future development to the communist party congress.
He gave a big long speech apparently about his own pragmatist theory called the 3 represents, which puts economic development as the top priority.

In his own words
“The world is changing, we must adapt ourselves… and conscientiously free our minds from the shackles of outdated notions, practices and systems, from the erroneous and dogmatic interpretations of Marxism”

This is a big step from the last congress in 97, Since this time he failed to mention the “ultimate goal of communism” which theoretically the communist party still pursues.
He is also basically saying that It’s OK to let Chinas private entrepreneurs (who have been vulnerable even though they are the most dynamic economic force)

In his own words again:
“We should admit in the party advanced elements of other social strata who accept the parties programs and constitutions”
And the new social strata was defined as including private entrepreneurs, employees of foreign funded firms, and the self employed.

He also made it clear that the policy of the “three represents” Will supplant the ideas of Marx and Lenin, and he committed his followers to following the “three represents” as well.

He also said:
“All peoples interests are basically identical: we must allow the people advance together to the common goal of prosperity and encourage them to create social wealth.”
However He promised no political change, saying such choice things as “Leadership by the party is the fundamental guarantee that the people are the masters of the country”

So China will still be a moribund and censorious, evil oppressive and corrupt dictatorship politically speaking, But committed to capitalism and globalisation, Indeed he said that the party stood for “going with the historical tide”
