    I would not. They’re trying to erase the cultures of any non-Han Chinese and suppressing any lgbt groups. How does that support the “from each according to his ability to each according to his need” creed?

      LGBT rights in China are admittedly at a frustratingly slow speed. Other comrades more familiar than I am with Chinese politics have suggested that the democratic centralism means that as they do advance, it will be collectively, and without a conservative backlash as we see in the US

      Reducing all the nuance of Marxism, socialism, and communism to

      “from each according to his ability to each according to his need”

      is problematic.

      It’s not going to lead to much explanation and it ignores the hundreds of thousands of other words that Marxists have written.

      This is in addition to the problem that “from each according to his ability to each according to his need” is the goal of communism and you’re arguing with someone who (rightly) says communism hasn’t been reached.
