Why did Chinese Communism fail?

[Octopus]

Would I be right in saying that Chinese Communism failed as a result of the transition into communism being from Feudalism as opposed to capitalism, and thus inevitably capitalism would re-manifest its-self and thus communism would fail?

Could this argument be used for most communist/socialist countries?

Begging the question.

Because it never tried to be Communist.

Capitalism re-manifests only by the hands of the petty-bourgeois bureaucracy. There's no fastest economic regime than capitalism when you have a lot of wage-slaves. That's the point of capitalist roaders like Deng Xiaoping.

[Pretty Flaco]

It failed because the workers never controlled the means of production.

[Rafiq]

It failed because its hard to maintain that type of economy in one country.

It failed because Maoism conflicts with Marxism and Mainstream Socialism. The so-called Cultural Revolution purged technical and skilled labor. The structuring of the Chinese State Economy culminated in inefficiencies, corruption and waste. Marx did believe that industrial countries could make the transition to socialism much easier than the backward countries. However: It’s not impossible.
