[@patrickirwin3662]

@@RenaissanceMan29 There are no such things as "free markets." There are only situations where allied and competitive interests exchange goods and services with more or less management and control by whatever military powers are relevant in the situation. What Deng Xiao Ping introduced was not a "free market" but more room for ownership and reward for individual and corporate initiative inside a fundamentally socialist nation. I am no supporter of the CCP. Far from it. But nobody can deny the amazing transformation of China and Deng Xiao Ping is surely one of human history's most influential great figures and somehow simultaneously one of its humblest and most stubborn. Whether one agrees with or likes them, the strength of character in that generation of China's communist leaders is astonishing. Not sure what the antithesis of a snowflake is, but that's these people.

[@wisdomleader85]

Clearly the latter is true.

[@billyboo2864]

​@@shantishanti1949both are true and even then he is a bit of a confusing figure to label a "hero," especially after the massacre. Mao kind of went insane over the idea of beating British industrialism as quickly as possible (turned out all he had to do was wait for neo liberalism) costing the lives of millions. State capitalism in China has also costed the lives of many, let's not forget the awful business practices of some of these entrepreneurs have instilled, deterioting working class rights have been a huge problem under Deng. In saying that, the huge rise in the standard of living in China, paired with the beyond insane rate of reducing poverty is nothing but impressive. tldr: like most Chinese thinkers from this time, Deng has had an ultimately good effect on China, however some of his ideas contrast this good effect regularly.
