I too enjoy the China/Hitler comparison. The corporate press, Hollywood, recently the NBA, etc. are all openly supportive of China. So apparently China is not far enough left to warrant being labeled beyond the pale. I mean, how much further can you go?
China isn't even left, it's straight up ultranationalist, imperialist, corporatist. Chinese “Communism” has sort of completed the rightward trek Leninism started in order to dodge the need to move through capitalism and broad proletarian class consciousness found in Marxism to make something that could plausibly work in pre-capitalist Russia the whole way to straight up fascism.
