[@RevolutionarySM]

Honecker was a true believer, for him the Marxist-Leninist ideology was like a religion. Mikhail Gorbachev however was a reformist, who wanted to reforms the stagnating Soviet economy by introducing capitalist elements. He was in favor of Chinese state-capitalism under a single party state originally in 1985. But his reforms also led to a democratization process and this was exploited by anticommunists like Boris Yeltsin, who abandoned the Marxist-Leninist facade and embraced austerity capitalism by 1990. Erich Honecker was a orthodox believer in the system of his German Democratic Republic. He failed to see how far he and the SED had distant themselves from the actual working class. Their home was a closed compound with western household products and Swedish cars, the East-Germans called Honecker's compound: Volvograd!

Yes, but that shows you that the CPSU wasn't as orthodox and homogenous in thought as the West said. In the first year of the Russian Federation and its unrestricted capitalist measures the GDP fell 1/3 and by 1999 it had fallen 40%, that means it wasn't about economic reasons like the USA says; the USSR fell when the party couldn't get behind a leader in 1991 and the different republics started leaving the Union. The economic policies of the Soviet Union were already towards capitalism in 1986 though, what actually fell in that year was the Supra-State of the Union, leaving behind its successor Republics; the plan back then was to reconfigurate the Soviet Union in a State called Union of Sovereign States. Of course the main reason was that some Soviet politicians wanted to gain control of the infrastructure which they did in the middle and late 90s and now basically control Russia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Belarus, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Armenia (these countries didn't become nice democratic and free after all, they are still very authoritarian)

@@jackchan499 dude this statement is so dumb in many ways I myself am a person leaning to leftism but the diference of western democracys and china is not only that you can vote for diferent partys. You can also say your opinion without the danger of getting arrested, you can criticise the governement and you can become a politician yourself without having to join the CCP. These are just a few rights of the many many more you have in a good democracy.
