	'''Deng Xiaoping''' (August 22, 1904 – February 19, 1997), formerly known as Deng Xiansheng, was a Chinese [[Marxist-Leninist]] revolutionary ~~and~~ theorist, ~~who was~~ the de facto ~~head of state~~ of the People's Republic of China from 1977 to 1992~~, following~~ the death of Mao Zedong ~~in 1976.

'''Deng Xiaoping''' (August 22, 1904 – February 19, 1997), born in Guang'an, Sichuan and formerly known as Deng Xiansheng, was a Chinese [[Marxist-Leninist]] revolutionary, theorist, and the de facto leader of the People's Republic of China from 1977 until his retirement in 1992. Following the death of Mao Zedong, Deng led China through a period of profound transformation, most notably marked by his policies of [[Reform and Opening Up\|''Reform and Opening Up'']] and the establishment of the ''Socialist Market Economy''. His theoretical contributions, collectively known as ''Deng Xiaoping Theory'', include the ''Four Modernizations'' and the ''Four Cardinal Principles'', which have shaped the trajectory of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics.

	[[Haz Al-Din]] ~~stated~~<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niZQpeFmffU What Deng Xiaoping means for Socialism - Infrared show clip] from Talonsight</ref> the following about Deng:<blockquote>Why is Deng Xiaoping correct? Everyday I realize how correct Deng Xiaoping was. […] Deng Xiaoping Thought exists beyond the threshold of Ilyenkov's self-sacrificial apocalypse. […] Deng Xiaoping is not a revisionist but is merely elaborating Marxism-Leninism to its conclusion. […] Deng Xiaoping's unleashing of the productive forces amounts the aftermath of Ilyenkov's apocalypse. It is post apocayltic. Where Ilienkov cannot perceive any reality outside of this apocalypse in which we are … that reality is already taken for granted in Socialism with Chinese characteristics.</blockquote>		[[Haz Al-Din]], a prominent theorist in the Infrared Collective, offers a distinctive interpretation of Deng Xiaoping's role in the evolution of Marxist Leninist thought.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niZQpeFmffU What Deng Xiaoping means for Socialism - Infrared show clip] from Talonsight</ref>

	Haz ~~explains that~~ Deng ~~Xiaoping's contribution to~~ Marxism-Leninism is the ~~understanding that~~ the ~~pace~~ of ~~socialist construction happens at~~ a ~~level that escapes the purview~~ of ~~socialist consciousness~~, ~~that~~ socialist ~~consciousness is actually derivative and secondary with regard~~ to the ~~material scale~~ of ~~time at which socialist construction occurs~~.		According to Haz, Deng should not be seen as a revisionist but as a thinker who brought Marxism-Leninism to its logical conclusion in the context of global economic development. Drawing a contrast with Soviet philosopher Evald Ilyenkov, Haz identifies Ilyenkov as expressing the final horizon of Soviet Marxist-Leninist thought — a vision in which communism ultimately culminates in a metaphysical or even cosmic dissolution of reality itself, typified by Ilyenkov's speculative notion of a voluntary, socialist-induced "cosmic apocalypse" to counteract the head death of the universe.

	~~The quote references Soviet philosopher, [[Evald Ilyenkov]]~~, ~~who Haz regards as expressing~~ the ~~ultimate conclusion~~ of ~~official~~ Soviet ~~Marxist-Leninist ideology in its purest form. In his famous work, ''Cosmology of Spirit'', he writes~~ that ~~at a certain point in the development of communist society~~, ~~mankind will voluntarily induce a cosmic catastrophe~~, ~~so as to reverse~~ the ~~process~~ of ~~'thermal dying' or the heat death of the universe~~.		For Haz, this apocalyptic vision reflects the ideological impasse of late Soviet Marxism: the belief that communism remains forever deferred, an ideal beyond realization, because its full achievement would entail the abolition of material contradiction itself.

	~~For Haz~~, ~~the true meaning of this bold outlook~~ lies in ~~the Soviet view of the objectivity of~~ socialism~~, beyond~~ the ~~threshold of the Soviet ideological apparatus~~, as ~~an apocalypse,~~ a ~~final unity of the ideal with material reality, which actually entails~~ the ~~negation of~~ material ~~reality~~. ~~Thus~~, ~~Soviet ideology implicitly regards communism as an ever-distant ideal, to be realized at some later date in the future. It cannot actually be achieved~~, ~~for this means~~ the ~~negation~~ of ~~all reality~~.		Deng's contribution, by contrast, lies in breaking with this metaphysical burden. He recognizes that socialism is not an abstract ideal to be imposed upon the world, but as a concrete and objective process unfolding within and through the material world itself — including through global capitalism. From this perspective, socialism is not constructed from scratch through sheer willpower; rather, it emerges through the rational organization of existing productive forces under sovereign control by a [[Dictatorship of the Proletariat\|proletarian state]] led by a Communist Party.

	Deng ~~Xiaoping's contribution to Marxism-Leninism, by contrast, allows for the recognition of socialism~~ as ~~an objective historical phenomena, irreducible to any individual consciousness or ideal. Socialist construction is recognized to occur~~ at a scale ~~far beyond~~ the ~~threshold~~ of ~~individual consciousness, itself integrating the entire movement of the world economy~~, ~~global market~~, ~~and even Western capitalist system toward~~ the ~~rational conclusion~~ of ~~an entirely new mode of production~~. ~~Socialism, when understood as the riddle of history solved and the true driving force of history,~~ does not ~~need to be imposed upon reality, only recognized. The economic policies~~ of ~~a [[Dictatorship of the Proletariat\|Proletarian Dictatorship]]~~, ~~guided by~~ the ~~scientific socialist outlook, reflect a wise appraisal of a historical phenomena~~ that ~~is ultimately beyond its own direct control~~.		Haz argues that Deng understood socialist construction as a process occurring at a temporal and material scale that exceeds the grasp of conscious ideological direction. Consciousness, in this view, is secondary to the objective motion of history. Deng's approach does not deny the necessity of political leadership or ideological clarity, but it situates them within the broader structural and economic forces that drive history forward.

	~~Rather than engaging~~ in the ~~[[voluntarism\|voluntarist]]~~ and utopian re-~~modeling~~ of ~~all~~ society ~~from scratch~~, the ~~main significance~~ of a proletarian dictatorship ~~lies in ensuring the sovereign nature of~~ economic development~~. This is in contrast to the chaos of the cultural revolution, where 'socialism' as an ideal was sought after in all of the most minute details of culture, society, and the economy.~~		This interpretation frames Deng's contributions as "post-apocalyptic," not in a fantastical or nihilistic sense, but as a transition beyond the idealist and utopian frameworks that haunted earlier Marxism and even sclerotic Marxist-Leninist thinking. Rather than attempting to remake all of society in the image of an abstract "socialist man," the task of the proletarian dictatorship becomes to guide economic development with strategic clarity and sovereign independence — opening the path for history itself to dialectically resolve its contradictions through the unfolding of the world economy.

	~~Whereas the Soviet Marxism-Leninism~~ and the ~~Western Cartesian outlook underlying it regarded material reality beyond consciousness~~ to ~~be apocalyptic, Deng Xiaoping in a sense renders it possible to regard socialism as a post-apocalyptic phenomena, going beyond~~ the ~~threshold~~ of the ~~idealist, rationalist, and gnoseological assumptions of bourgeois civilization~~.

			In this light, the "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" pioneered by Deng is not a betrayal of Marxism, but a recognition of its deepest insight: that history itself, not utopian voluntarism, is the terrain upon which socialism must be realized.

	The reference here is made to 'Evald Ilyenkov,' the Soviet philosopher who Haz regards as expressing the ultimate conclusion of official Soviet Marxist-Leninist ideology in its purest form. In his famous work 'Cosmology of Spirit,' at a certain point in the development of communist society, mankind will voluntarily induce a cosmic catastrophe, so as to reverse the process of 'thermal dying' or the heat death of the universe.

	For Haz, the true meaning of this bold outlook lies in the Soviet view of the objectivity of socialism, beyond the threshold of the Soviet ideological apparatus, as an apocalypse, a final unity of the ideal with material reality, which actually entails the negation of material reality. Thus Soviet ideology implicitly regards communism as an ever-distant ideal, to be realized at some later date in the future. It cannot actually be achieved, for this means the negation of all reality.

	Deng Xiaoping's contribution to Marxism-Leninism, by contrast, allows for the recognition of socialism as an objective historical phenomena, irreducible to any individual consciousness or ideal. Socialist construction is recognized to occur at a scale far beyond the threshold of individual consciousness, itself integrating the entire movement of the world economy, global market, and even Western capitalist system toward the rational conclusion of an entirely new mode of production. Socialism, when understood as the riddle of history solved and the true driving force of history, does not need to be imposed upon reality, only recognized. The economic policies of a Proletarian Dictatorship, guided by the scientific socialist outlook, reflect a wise appraisal of a historical phenomena that is ultimately beyond its own direct control.

	Whereas the Soviet Marxism-Leninism and the Western Cartesian outlook underlying it regarded material reality beyond consciousness to be apocalyptic, Deng Xiaoping in a sense renders it possible to regard socialism as a post-apocalyptic phenomena, going beyond the threshold of the idealist, rationalist, and gnoseological assumptions of bourgeois civilization.
