Your previous message is a little bit emotional and with ad hominem arguments.

Communism proved to be economically inapt in every country where it was established in the past, including the USSR. It’s a fact. As to China I believe its current economic groth is due to market economy and not because of the former planning system, isn’t it? As for its political system, my guess it’s only a remnant of the past.

Still China does much better than Russia economically. This is possibly because there was no large-scale privatization of key assets.

No, the real issue is that local communists realized all the futility of their former efforts to organize efficient command economy and had to agree to reform it using market methods in order to stay in power as long as possible.

Реформы были начаты в 1978 по инициативе крыла прагматиков в Коммунистической партии Китая (КПК), которое возглавлял Дэн Сяопин, и продолжаются по сей день. Реформаторы поставили перед собой цель создания прибавочной стоимости, достаточной для финансирования модернизации китайской экономики, которая находилась на грани катастрофы после провала политики «большого скачка» и командных методов, проводимых Мао Цзэдуном. Первоначальной задачей реформ было решение проблемы мотивации рабочих и крестьян и ликвидация экономических диспропорций, характерных для командных экономик.
