      Yes, Deng reforms could be viewed very ambiguously. Imagine if after Deng came people like Gorbachev and Yeltsin instead of Jiang, Hu and Xi, we would now be speaking the exact points that maoists are, but it would be true.

      As i chose to view it, is that Deng did a huge leap of trust in the future generations, and they, especially Xi, did not betrayed that trust.

      I wish people on the ultra-left would understand its not that we love deng

      Or that we “love” anyone. We’re just capable of putting things in historical context and understanding the pros and cons of their actions
