    Zhang Chunqiao wasn’t a western anglo and said this:

    “Although the Cultural Revolution launched and led by Chairman Mao failed, its spirit and principles will last forever. If the ruling Communist Party does not seriously solve the problem of degeneration and deterioration, becomes a privileged class, separates itself from the broad masses of the people, and is high above them, acting like a master, then sooner or later the people will follow Chairman Mao’s teachings and rise up again to revolutionize and overthrow the bourgeoisie in the Party.”

        people in this community say only westerners question China’s position as socialist, when in actually, people from the East also question how socialist is China. There are multiple Asian communist parties backing this opinion and even former CPC cadres, like Zhang.

          That was never my assertion though. I just insinuated that this guy and people like him don’t have the requisite knowledge and experience to decide whether China needs a cultural revolution or not. That he apparently reached the same conclusion as Zhang is irrelevant.

            Zhang had that knowledge and experience (sadly passed away in 2005, after serving 22 years in a Dengist dungeon). If this guy is reaching a similar conclusion to an experienced cadre like Zhang, then perhaps, he’s doing a good analysis on this specific topic.

              There isn’t any analysis though. He just used state capitalist as a thought terminating cliche. Maybe he knows more than he is letting on considering it is a casual reply to a tiktok comment but I don’t have high hopes for it.

                    If this citation applies to this context,why didn’t Mao’s China trade with Israel?

                    And on Nixon’s visit, he conceded recognition to the PRC and Mao accepted, following Lenin’s principle of a somewhat peaceful coexistence with imperialists, to allow the development of struggle inside imperialist countries. How many struggles is Mr. Xi helping by legitimizing the colonization of Palestinian land? Also, how many popular struggles have the Dengists helped since taking power? I mean actual struggles, not arming the reactionary armies of Myanmar, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Pakistan to murder separatists enforcing their right to self-determination.
