For the first time in history, the president of Cuba sits down with a US outlet to share his thoughts on the future of Cuban socialism, the US blockade, and the economic difficulties facing the island nation.

    I think this is splitting hairs. Ok so what Deng did isn’t a different line to ML theory but when someone says “dengist” I feel like we all understand they’re referring to the policy of opening up.

    I kind of understand the desire for this not to be viewed as separate or radically divergent to ML theory but it’s an easy way to talk about “policy that was implemented during Deng’s time as leader”.
