No. It was communist.

The society itself was not communist, but It was definitely ruled by communists. Even Marx called himself and the people who followed his ideas communists, not “socialists seeking communism.” When people say a country was/is “communist,” they mean it’s being ruled by Marxist-Leninists, not that it’s achieved the hypothetical level of society that usually only Marxists are familiar with.

The Stasi was the secret police of communist East Germany, not the Nazis.

One week old account. 684 Comments. 383 Posts. That’s 152 posts/comments a day, 9 an hour, and most are over a paragraph long. Almost all of them focus controversially on third-party advocacy in the middle of an election year.

Lei Feng died of very very non-natural causes, supposedly when he was struck by a telephone pole that had been hit by a truck.

It’s also worth noting that he was essentially just a caricature of the “perfect revolutionary” for the Chinese government, it’s very hard to establish any historicity to any of the things attributed to him.

ESPECIALLY IF THEY’RE AN ADULT ARTIST OR ENTERTAINER. Last I checked using your PayPal for that is against tos and PayPal has zero scruples about seizing all that cash.
