Disclaimer: I am not a communist nor a member of a communist party. I am just an ordinary citizen who observes societies objectively.
Lenin said in his classic book "The State and Revolution", "The first fact that has been established most accurately by the whole theory of development, by science as a whole--a fact that was ignored by the utopians, and is ignored by the present-day opportunists, who are afraid of the socialist revolution--is that, historically, there must undoubtedly be a special stage, or a special phase, of transition from capitalism to communism."
Then, Lenin said, quoting Marx's statement in Critique of the Gotha Programme: "Between capitalist and communist society lies the period of the revolutionary transformation of the one into the other. Corresponding to this is also a political transition period in which the state can be nothing but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat."
Revolution is a war. Between capitalist society and communist society, a war is inevitable. Not because communists seek for violence, but because capitalists try to protect capitalism and destroy communism by every weapon and military force at their disposal.
In Lenin's mind as well as Marx's mind, the revolution was regarded as a phenomenon that happens within the border of a state. However, the revolution theory can be and must be applied to the relation between nations. In our contemporary world, the theory should be applied between China and the U.S.
China does not want a war. But, a war against the U.S. is inevitable. Why? Because, in order to destroy socialism, the US rich people will mobilize every weapon and military force at their disposal including thermonuclear devices. Actually, their use of nuclear weapons is a sure thing. With less war ships, less soldiers, and less combat tanks, nuclear weapons are the only US method left to destroy socialism.
Rich people's dream is to be super-rich while the rest of the population go down to the poorest conditions. The last thing they want to see is that a society is filled with happy middle class with decent income and assets including themselves.
Actually, that is the society China is trying to make. It is called "moderately prosperous society (小康社会)". The Chinese government is trying to redistribute income so that inequality of the people will be resolved and "common prosperity"(共同富裕) is established.
China has already lifted as many as 800 million people out of absolute poverty in last decades, proving that the combination of planned economy and market economy is the best to develop economy.
China will establish "moderately prosperous society (小康社会)" and "common prosperity"(共同富裕) for the entire population by making the most of 5G, AI, IoT, industrial robots, electronic money and renewable energies.
Asian and African countries will follow the lead and model of China to establish "moderately prosperous society (小康社会)" and "common prosperity"(共同富裕), being connected with China through 5G, AI, IoT, industrial robots, electronic money and renewable energies.
US and British rich people can never accept "moderately prosperous society (小康社会)" and "common prosperity"(共同富裕). What they fear is that American ordinary people and British ordinary people notice that "moderately prosperous society (小康社会)" and "common prosperity"(共同富裕) are real and possible, seeing the model and achievement of China.
Before that happens, American and British rich people will take actions to destroy China's socialism. Therefore, China needs to increase her armaments rapidly and strengthen her alliance with Russia.
Meanwhile, Asian and African nations including Japan should persuade the U.S. to surrender.
China should maintain the revolutionary dictatorship, i.e., the communist party's dictatorship until the U.S. surrenders and Asian and African nations establish "moderately prosperous society (小康社会)" and "common prosperity"(共同富裕).
The mankind should advance from the current capitalist stage where the minority of rich people suppresses the majority of poor people, to the higher communist stage where the entire population enjoy "common prosperity"(共同富裕) in a "moderately prosperous society (小康社会)".
Just like scientific laws such as the law of gravity hold regardless whether an observer believes them or not, social scientific laws hold regardless whether American rich people believe them or not.
Although Lenin's statues have been removed, the social scientific theory on state and revolution that he discovered seems to hold through capitalist and communist societies.
Thank you.
