However, the fact remains that the guiding philosophy of all of China's past and present actions from Mao to Xi is communism. Yes, there's a difference. Many call the current government of China "state capitalism," but when you break that down, all that means is the state owning the means of production, which is just socialism in practice. This is true even under some kind of esoteric cult socialism, which all communism (including China's) effectively is.
That said, the reason I asked my original question is thus:
Marx's dream was a world without government. Specifically, he believed that a global tyranny would rise and change people's nature in such a way that they no longer needed government. I've also noticed many people demanding a shift of focus from fiscal power to social power, which coincides strangely with China's Social Credit Score experiment. Let's say the model is adopted world wide, along with similar graftings of fiscal concepts onto "social power"-type concepts. Then, once such a thing is normalized among, say, twenty years of people, a solar flare or mass-extinction-causing asteroid hits the Earth wiping the grid all of that was built on away. What then?
