This was supposed to be a limited action to keep NATO out of Ukraine, defend the rights of the working class and Russian speakers in the Donbas, and remove the neo-Nazi's from their positions in the government and military. Biden has turned it into a proxy war between the US and Russia. Ukraine now has an unlimited supply of advanced weapons at its disposal flowing in from NATO and the US directly. It is doubtful the Russian military is capable of completely defeating the Ukrainians. Russia can take over the Donbas and dig in --the Ukrainians won't be able to drive them out if they are determined to stay. We will have a stalemate. A rational negotiated peace could be worked out acceptable to both sides but US imperialism will try to prolong the conflict as long as possible and will do all it can to prevent such an outcome. All this anti-Putin propaganda (he is no worse than US presidents in misusing his military) is part of the US game plan and an attempt to cover up the imperialist provocations that led the Russian ruling class to attempt this ill advised military assault on Ukraine. Unless Biden can be stopped this war will be intensified and the only winner will be US Imperialism and the two political parties that are its supporters. We need to build a broad popular front based on the working class and including the vast majority of the American people directed against both major capitalist parties and their imperialist policies -- this is the only way to really fight the ongoing drift towards fascism and war in this country.
It is not the job of the Communist Party to direct the economy in the interests of stock speculators, entrepreneurs, and big capitalist corporations. The CPC has always maintained that the socialist market was not a "free" capitalist market but a "socialist market" which was using capitalist measures to develop the economy for the purpose of an eventual transition to full socialism. The Party serves the interests of the vast majority of working people and peasants not the capitalist oriented business community that has developed as a result of the economic reforms. In China their interests are promoted by the state under regulations that benefit the goals set by the Communist Party in the interests of the entire population as a whole. In the West the state serves the interests of a small capitalist class at the expense of the vast majority of the people as a whole. It is only natural that the NYT and other MSM find fault with how China plans its economic growth as this socialist model is a real threat to Western capitalist economic domination of the world. Peaceful competition is only acceptable to the West if it guarantees maintenance of Western domination, specifically US imperialist domination. The Biden regime is even now ramping up its imperialist military and propaganda threatening armed conflicts with China and even other capitalist countries (Russia in particular) which refuse to kowtow to American interests. This has been the case with every president since WWII and will remain the case until the capitalist ruling class is overthrown one way or another.
