Will the CPC ever transition china back to collective ownership?

20 Upvotes

I have a really hard time coming to a conclusion on if china is on the path to socialism or not. I keep alternating between dengist and Maoist perspectives and I don’t know which is correct. The core of the issue for me is if the CPC will ever transition back to collective ownership. On paper they claim that is their plan that markets are just a tool to develop productive forces and once sufficiently developed they will transform into a socialist economy. But at the same time they have no real timeline or clear path laid out to do this, and I could totally see how they could just adapt their rhetoric to justify privatization going on indefinitely.

Trying to find a specific quotation from Marx about dissemination of information?

6 Upvotes

Hello there, I'm writing a paper on Marxism and I was hoping to receive aid in finding a quotation from Marx. I'm trying to find the quote where he spoke about using the popular method of information distribution to communicate information to the masses. Marx uses the example of the newspaper as that was how information was circulated back then, but he specified that communists should use the method of the times to communicate - a newspaper back then, televised news in the 20th century, and the internet nowadays. I don't know the specifics and I would like to receive aid on this question. Thank you!
