Or are they merely pretending that they haven't adopted Capitalism?

Jerry M:---Democracy is a form of government,---Capitalism is an economic system.
What are you talking about?

What the hell does "right-wing" have to do with anything?

I don't think anybody ever suggested that you couldn't have Capitalism under a dictatorship, or that it required a democratic government to make it work.
You should have paid more attention "40 years ago".

RON PAUL;---Of course it's an economic system. --I never implied otherwise.
Better tell that to Jerry M. ( above you).

China's economic success comes from doing the things we wanted them to do more than 60 years ago, ---start a free market society.

What China has today is not communism--by definition. A communist system is one without a market economy.
They are, as you say, simply retaining a rhetoric--a pretense-of communism, but have entirely abandoned the economic institutions. That rhetoric survives only as a means of jsutifying the continued dictatorship and abuse of human rights that keeps the ruling elite in power.

What they have done is refuted your right-wing excrement that tries to equate capitalism with democracy. I saw through that B.S. 40 years ago already.
DUH! I know the difference between political and economic systems, but very few knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, snake-handling red-staters do or ever did, even back in the day when they were Okies or rednecks--or McCarthyite and HUAC witch-hunters.
And where were you 40 years ago? Yeah, it's easy for you to change the tune of that right-wing excrement that came from none other than Ronald Raygun, now that the evidence is overwhelming, and pretend it never happened.
How does that invisible hand of Adam Smith feel in your circle jerks?
Big j.o., I'm happy for you. :P
And 3 cheers for capitalism. Oink, oink, oink!

China has unfarly cut and will continue to cut the United states and the world out of wealth if your a investor you can profit,but this is all short term. When your dollar is worth zero,you can jump off a tall building. Communism is a live and well and for workable,, not for you so sory!

Tehy are more Capitalists then the US they just claim to be communists. I've heard this from Chinease people while I was in China. So the answer is no they haven't.

They have not openly and publicly embraced capitalism but they sure are finding out that capitalism feeds more people and better than Communism.
