they are now trending back in the other direction.

There are certainly people who call themselves communist that miss this point too!

S4A sadens me, he does lots of great work turning communist texts into audiobooks, but then latches onto one aspect of china that blinds him to the truth. China used capitalism to beat the west at their own game, and now they get to change the rules.

they get to change the rules

And they're able to specifically because they're communist and have kept the bourgeoisie subordinate to the state!
