The social order is merely an economic subsidiary or, as Marx wrote in the latter work, merely its “ideological…

Zedong, the Chinese created a policy of openly opposing capitalism. This contrasted with the Soviet position, under Nikita Khrushchev, which was that Marxist Communism should co-exist with capitalism. The Chinese fought the United States and other capitalist nations in the Korean War and decided to reject relations with the United States.
