They claim to be Marxist-Leninists, explain their actions, and have an economy driven by Marxist-Leninist analysis. They have Markets, yes, but markets aren't the same thing as Capitalism itself. Rather, they have a Socialist Market Economy, which is driven by public ownership and planning of heavy industry, energy, finance, infrastructure in general, etc and have partial private ownership over light industry.

By what reasons do you say they aren't what they say they are? What do you think their economy would look like if they were "true Marxist-Leninists" in your eyes? When does an economy become "Capitalist" and when does it become "Socialist" in your eyes?
