Working class executing CEOs that work against them

Ruling class executing CEOs who don't work for them

Slight difference

That's an anti-Marxist view of class. What is the "ruling class" you speak of in the PRC? Government isn't class, but an extension of the class in power, so which class is in power?

the ruling class in china is the working class since its a dictatorship of the proletariat. So commentor is kinda right, tho im sure commentor doesn't mean it that way.

Yep, that's why I framed my question in that manner. If they said bourgeoisie, I would point out how that's wrong, if they said Proletarian, I would ask why that's bad, if they said some third class I'd show how that's anti-Marxist.

There is never a case of a working class party conquering political power, that hasn't been demonized by western anti-communist society.

When the US and its media tells you that the leaders China or Cuba or Vietnam are just "dictators", why do you believe them?

Absolutely. Power is the difference. Vertical power structures all look the same. Call it communism, but those at the bottom are still ruled by those at the top. Instead give me some of that horizontal, bottom up power. No gods, no masters.
