The Hammer & Sickle is the symbol of Marxism-Leninism, not just the USSR. There are several Marxist-Leninist states to this day, including the PRC, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, and the DPRK.

My point remains valid.

Is the PRC still communist though?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 days ago

Yes. They are more classically Marxist now, than they were in the late Mao and Gang of Four period. I elaborated on that, here.
