    What does it mean to be a Marxist-Leninist? Answer this question first.

    The population of China in 1949 was around 542 million, there were about 4.5 million CPC members at the time, around 0.83% of the population. Is every CPC member a Marxist-Leninist? How many people were MLs but not CPC members? Are you automatically ML if you support the CPC’s policies? Are there MLs who aren’t CPC members and don’t believe in Marxism?

    The population of China as of 2023 is about 1.41 billion, there are 99.185 million CPC members, around 7% of the population. The same questions asked above can be asked here. How many MLs are there in China?

    Here’s a long Chinese article about what it means to be a Marxist according to Mao Zedong: http://dangshi.people.com.cn/n/2013/1225/c85037-23943401.html

      “You need to read at least five books to strengthen theoretical study. I recommend these five books to you: Communist Manifesto, “The Development of Socialism from Contopia to Science”, “Two Strategies of the Social Democratic Party in the Democratic Revolution”, “The Childish Disease of the Left” in the Communist Movement”, “The Communist Party (Bu) A concise course on the history of the party, here are all of Ma, En, Lie and Si. If 5,000 to 10,000 people read it and have a general understanding, it would be good and beneficial.” Mao Zedong’s Collected Works, Volume 3, Page 417)
