The Chinese make me proud to be a human being.
Compare the Chinese to the Europeans and Euro-Americans. China never enslaved Africans, never killed Jews, never passed Racial Segregation, never dropped bombs for oil, never invaded other countries to enslave them and rape their lands like EUROPEANS DID.
China invented so many things that Europeans later used for terrorism and crime.
Chinese = civilized
Europeans = barbarians

Nazi Germany also had no foreign capital investments of any kind, and like I have previously mentioned they also had no international trade, this was to make Germany into a self-sufficient state during wartime.

You may want to relearn history of Nazi Germany. I took an IB course on it.

Chinese economy also isn't a "pseudo market with oligarchies". It's a mixed economy, just like the majority of economies in the world, including US.

Nazi party in Germany discouraged religions, and the German people were indoctrinated to view Hitler, the Fuhrer, into a divine, almost demigod like status. This is not so in China.

There were also periodic official radio broadcasts by the Nazis in major German cities, and during these broadcasts all German citizens, regardless of circumstances, were expected to stand up and salute to the Fuhrer. Violators would be jailed by the Gestapo. Needless to say, this is not so in China.

Information and news in Nazi Germany wasn't just censored, it was completely filtered by the state government, and there is no independent or foreign sources of news. China is different

There were no real exchange student from Nazi Germany, as all of them were in actuality spies working for the party.

Economy in Nazi Germany were entirely state run, except in German occupied territories in WWII, but they are not to be considered as part of Nazi Germany. Germany also had no international trade

i understand communism as much as a member of your politburo. in order to achievement communism, the state must undergo feudalism, modernalization, capitalism, socialism and communism. looks like china is between step 2 and 3. its time for you to reread "communist manifesto".

Actually, Marx and Engels simply described the Communist transition process as a result of the capitalist exploitation of the proletariat, which would cause an uprising and overthrow of the capitalist elites on the social hierarchy, and placing the proletariat in command of the productions.

So it isn't the 5 steps process as you have stated.

Chinese market reforms in the 1970s is already a breakaway from communism, and there is no turning back as it is now the world's third largest economy.

your beloved "free market" is in a experimental basis. CCP can at any time can take over the economy. currently, the majority of industries are state owned. agriculture, the largest sector of china, is in fact the state.

you as a chinese citizen has no say or right in this process. you are told this or that, and you will, like it or not have, to follow. cultural revolution is one day, free market next, and maybe cultural revolution next day. who really knows? for them, who cares.
