    When will Chinese people start receiving shares from their employers then? Oh that’s right, never, because the tankie Dengists are a bunch of lying capitalist authoritarians.

      Since when was socialism “receiving shares from employers?” Socialism is a mode of production and distribution centering public ownership of the means of production, the dominant aspect of China’s economy is the public sector with a working class state. This is socialism.

      As for your word salad, tankie is just a pejorative for socialists that support existing socialist states, “Dengism” isn’t a thing, and all states are “authoritarian,” so the important aspect is which class controls the state, not if the state exists or not.

      “True socialism” isn’t a thing, socialism is not a religious vow. It’s a material system where public ownership is the principal aspect and the working classes control the state. Receiving shares from employers is a weird, petty bourgeois notion of socialism utterly disconnected from the scientific socialism of Marx and Engels.
