    Can someone explain this to me:

    Marxism= based on theory of Marx

    Leninism= based on Lenin’s theories

    Marxism-Leninism= an amalgam between both, created by Stalin

    Why not call it stalinism?

        Fasco-capitalst is an exaggeration, but there’s no way a country intentionally keeping the standard of living of the working class that low, just to remain as the world’s sweatshop is Marxist-Leninist nation.

          intentionally keeping the standard of living of the working class that low

          Let’s see:

          Over the past 40 years, the number of people in China with incomes below $1.90 per day – the International Poverty Line as defined by the World Bank to track global extreme poverty– has fallen by close to 800 million

          China’s battle against poverty has benefited the largest number of people in human history

          That truly sounds like hell
