Re: "...it would not be too hard to rationalize marketization as completion of the capitalist phase under party guidance." >>> Er, yeah, it WOULD be hard. That rationalization turns facts on their head. >>> What are you saying, that China would embrace market economies to develop economically... then suddenly destroy all their gains by collectivizing everything just to maintain some sort of mythical ideological purity? >>> And this after the great 'learning experience' called The Great Leap Forward? >>> I find that hard to believe. >>> No, if China's acceptance (even: embrace) of a market economy plus it's insistence upon authoritarian rule doesn't meet your definition of incipient 'Fascism'... then you may have to come up with another descriptive term for it, but classical Marxism/Leninism it ain't - despite their kowtowing to the term. >>> They are running away from that as fast as they can. Remember the new ethos: "to get Rich is Glorious".
