    They are angry that Xi Jinping is not a Gorbachev. Marxist Leninist is a offense to chuds, they think calling someone a communist is a bad thing.

      Sure, but that is slander for those claiming not to be Socialists or Communists, ie American Democrats who Fox often labels as such. The PRC is openly Communist, stated as such, even for chuds this doesn’t make sense.

        Some Liberals, Trots and Conservatives, believe that the CPC is communist only in name, and has followed the path of many former communist parties and went to the right (Becoming Socdem or Neoliberal, or whatever happened to Cambodia), like many Eastern European and African Parties.

        So by calling Xi Marxist-Leninist, they are saying he pushed the party away from “Democracy” and back into Marxism-Leninism, which is “bad” because gommunis is ebil.
