Indubitably, the Militant understands a requisite in the construction of socialist society is that economy and public policy must be subordinated to the control of the masses. Without this, socialism is not; communism will never be.
The bureaucratic ruling caste is motivated by the maintenance, and … expansion, of its privileged position in society, the December 25 article says. In a world ripe for socialism, the Chinese bureaucracy is not historically necessary.
The Chinese bureaucracy has no interest in socialism. It will never hesitate to resort to repressive measures as needed, and further politically alienate those it exploits, especially when the exploited protrude their sights from their own domination to their own emancipation. In regard to the latter, such socialist consciousness of the masses, which once challenged the bureaucracy, does not exist anymore as stated in the Dec. 18, 2006, issue.
How then can they be graciously called a workers state?
