It doesn't matter whether you call him a boxer or not, the techniques that he's using comes from boxing, not from JKD or TKD.
Kicking, throwing, ground-game come from boxing?? Those are expressly prohibited in boxing. Development of private sector boosting an unprecedented number of billionaires are expressly anti-socialism.
To expand on your analogy, have you ever heard of a competitive fighter who has no formal training in any school, just learned some moves from watching other people fight, and turned out to be a champion fighter?
Neither have I, because that's not a realistic expectation. Likewise, it's highly unrealistic to believe that China achieved the success it has today just by observing what other countries do. You cannot learn statecraft through simple observation and expect to be wildly successful. Mildly successful? Sure, if your leaders are extremely talented. However, to succeed on an unprecedented scale over three leadership successions and six central committee reorganizations? That takes a solid theoretical foundation to happen.
This analogy doesn't make sense. Fighters are individual people with very limited time so that by the time they develop their new systems, they are usually no longer in their prime and unable to compete. Countries, on the other hand, have as long as they need and endless trial and error. Also, people have the same anatomy so what you can do with it is far more limited than different countries with their unique demographics, ethnic/cultural specialties, and geographical considerations which require much more innovation rather than off-the-shelf knowledge. Whereas your analogy of a fighter making it on his own pits his mind with his limited years against the minds of all the masters in martial arts history, the truth is in reverse as Marx is one man with limited time and China is the one with billions of minds and endless time for trial and error; the situation is reversed.
Even so, all forms start somewhere and someone to invent them. So they might not be modern fighters, but in the ancient times, Chinese kung fu masters used to develop their styles from watching nature (tai chi) and animals (mantis, tiger, crane, snake, monkey, etc...) and win with those forms over opponents who used only what was taught to them. The fact is that China made its own world-beating system that used some thoughts from socialism, some not from socialism and some against socialism.
I didn't link it specifically with Marxism, I linked it with CPC history. From its very foundation, the CPC was engaged in poverty alleviation and improving ethnic relations.
So that's evidence that they are doing things that Marx did not tell them.
That's exactly the point: the CPC doesn't treat Marxism as a religion anymore.
Yeah, that's the point; they used to think of Marxism as a bible and now they think of it as something to think about and follow only if it makes sense, and do the opposite of it that makes sense. That trend right there says that the CCP is moving away from Marxism. If you used to follow every word of the Bible strictly and now you do it only when it works for your modern lifestyle and financial situation, are you more or less adherent to the Bible? We just went in a circle.
