Isn’t the worst socialism still better than the best capitalism? Why try to destroy “revisionist” socialism when you have capitalism to destroy? Wouldn’t it be easier to fix a revisionist socialist country than trying to convince a capitalist one to be socialist?
Socialism is the process of building communism. Its a dangerous path fraught with dangers on all sides. Deng made market reforms to preserve the forward momentum of the socialist project in China. Had he not made some market reforms it is more than likely that China would not survived as a socialist state at all.
Deng did not accept capitalist structures into the country. At the end of the day no matter how rich individual billionaires might be the Party still controls the central bank and the means of production. They are still subject to the will of the people.
