I do this bit where whenever somebody calls China capitalist in a negative way, I ask if they're a Maoist, because that is the ultraleft, Maoist perspective, that China succumbed to right deviation and should've stayed the course with Mao's policies. But I've never gotten an actual answer from anyone and now it's started to evolve from being a bit to genuine curiosity. Like, if Deng's reforms were too far right that you denounce them as capitalist, then does that mean your ideal economic system is somewhere in between the policies of Mao and Deng?

What is that ideology you're all following to arrive at that conclusion?
