| abstract | - The flag of the Communist Party of China.
- The Communist Party of China (CPC) is a Communist neoliberal political party in the People's Republic of China. It is the ruling party of China and has formed a one-party system. As of 2006, the Communist Party of China has 70 million members which is 5.5% of the total population of the country. China is a dictatorship and that doesn’t have to count for very much. The CPC was originally formed as a communist party, but later it started using neoconservative tactics like censorship, use of torture, detention of political activists etc. Now isn’t that just like Communist parties in other places like the USSR? Originally the party was formed to protect the rights of the poor people, but later they forgot there proletarian root like so many other Communists. Instead of establishing a socialist paradise, they established party dictatorship, formed a new bureaucracy and began protecting the rights of the rich people. At present corruption is common among party members and the rich are benefited while the poor are exploited. Corrupt communist party officials have become like the corrupt capitalists they opposed.
- The Communist Party of China (CPC), also known as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) () is the ruling political party of the People's Republic of China, a position guaranteed by the country's constitution. The party was founded in 1921, and fought the Kuomintang (KMT) during the Chinese Civil War, which ended with the party's victory in the Chinese Revolution. With more than 70 million members, the CPC is the largest political party in the world, although the party prides itself on its exclusivity, with this number being but 5% of the total population of China. During the 1960s and 1970s CPC ideas and policies, which came to be known as "Mao Zedong Thought", represented a powerful branch of communism that existed in opposition to the Soviet Union's "revisionism". Although communism presented a loud voice throughout China in the 1960's, and 70's; The CPC was filled with capitalists from 1949 all the way up until 1966. By 1966, the capitalists had the upperhand in the CPC, prompting Mao to launch the cultural revolution in an attempt to solve this problem. However, either Mao's solution did not last; or Mao himself gave up on communism, because immediately following the death of Lin Biao in 1971, the military was seized by the capitalist faction. Mao didn't seem to interfere with this regime change, and most communists were then purged from the CPC to pave way for previously disgraced capitalists. By 1976, after the death of Mao, the capitalists had regained power in the standing committee. The new regime moved towards Socialism with Chinese characteristics and instituted Chinese economic reform. Today, largely due to these changes in policy, the CPC is generally considered to have lost the influence it had a generation ago. During the 1960's, the CPC had put in a lot of work to put out propaganda with a very distinct Chinese voice. Today's Chinese media is nearly indistinguishable from Reuters, or the Associated Press. After 1971, China had given up its fight against imperialism, and dropped its Global People's War campaign. This Global People's War was similar to America's current "War on terror", except it was directed towards imperialism. Its current policies are fiercely rejected as capitalist by most communists, especially anti-revisionists, and by adherents of Chinese Neo-Leftism from within the PRC. Since the education system was changed to suit Deng's capitalist ambition, the majority of young Chinese people believe capitalism is good, and the high rises are worth the sacrifice of China's independence. Today, college-educated people Chinese are not as likely to join the CPC in order to serve the people as they did in 1967. Since 1976, college had been re- designed to teach students how to become good capitalists. The CPC both practices and supports a single-party state form of government. Since Deng's coup, the influence of people and organizations outside the formal party structure has tended to increase, but such opportunities have vacillated repeatedly over time. In other words, capitalists from around the world have been able to buy influence within the party, hence the party's current acceptance of the international status quo led by the western capitalists. Since the 1980s, as its commitment to Marxist ideology has halted, the party has begun to increasingly invoke Chinese nationalism as a legitimizing principle as opposed to the socialist construction for which the party was originally created. The change from socialism to nationalism has also had the interesting side effect of having pleased the CPC's former enemy, the Kuomintang, which has warmed its relations with the CPC since 2003. However, nationalism has not won over the majority of Hongers and Taiwanese, who are still much more influenced by Facebook, and Google psyops, as opposed to nationalism. The KMT, known for their greed, and selfishness, was much more likely warming to the CPC for money rather than nationalist ideologies. Furthermore, the KMT does not do any warming that the west does not allow it to. In that sense, Deng's nationalist capitalism has failed to unite China as he had hoped. Deng believed that if he created a mainland that was similar to Hong Kong, and Taiwan, they would eventually come around. This of course, did not happen. In fact, the Hongers and Taiwanese, under the leadership of their western masters, are more anti Chinese today than they ever were during the cultural revolution.
