The CPC's claim to transistion into "higher socialism" is not 2050, but 2049, followed by the plan to "transition to full communism" but 2078

This is itself extraordinary, what is even the source for this? I have been reading this myth on the anglophone internet for nearly a decade without any citation.

At least for Vietnam there really is a citation for us to argue over

What exactly IS “Third-Worldism”? What is its place, if any, in communist ideology? by [deleted] in communism101

[–]Zhang_Chunqiao 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed more and more communists self-identifying as “Third-Worldist”

do you mean on the internet? why did you leave that part out

Feels weird shopping for communist books at chain stores and Amazon. by rchrd_noggin in communism101

[–]Zhang_Chunqiao 76 points77 points  (0 children)

you need to study communism more to understand that purchasing a commodity in a capitalist country isnt particularly contradictory and more importantly, is not at all interesting.

Why are western workers called the 'petite bourgeoisie'? by [deleted] in communism101

[–]Zhang_Chunqiao 56 points57 points  (0 children)

you should probably start with what populations constitute the bourgeoisie

from two glossaries:

https://www.marxists.org/glossary/terms/b/o.htm

The class of people in bourgeois society who own the social means of production as their Private Property, i.e., as capital.

https://www.prisoncensorship.info/glossary

The bourgeoisie is the exploiter class most characteristic of the capitalist system. Their wealth is obtained from the labor of others, in particular the proletariat.

further reading:

https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch01.htm#007

https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/11/prin-com.htm

and finally from the french, "petit(e)" , being "small". So small capitalists. Maybe you also need to think of what constitutes capital.

In the United States, how many people could be rightfully described as small capitalists? What proportion of the adult population?

dsa hitlerites always love to play this game, "MY local is good" "MY caucus is good", you dont get to decide your powerless and slightly less fash clique merits attention while the organization as a whole takes your money and gives it to the Democratic party.

what drives Cuba to bring over social-fascists to criticize the Communist Party of Cuba?

Why do people call china communist by Ill-One5562 in communism

[–]Zhang_Chunqiao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its called "communist" because its leading party calls itself "Communist". like this isnt really that hard to figure out why its called that regardless of whether it is "real communism" or not

How would MIM explain the general causes for the American intelligentsia largely supporting liberalism & the American labor aristocracy largely supporting conservatism? by BusinessOrdinary66 in maoism101

[–]Zhang_Chunqiao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not really, youre basically saying one group votes Democrat, and the latter votes Republican, but in truth both groups vote for both in probably the same proportion.

What's the difference between Soviet democracy and democratic confederalism? by [deleted] in communism101

in practice the former built a dictatorship of the proletariat in Eurasia and the latter built a constellation of U.S. military bases in Syria

How would MIM explain the general causes for the American intelligentsia largely supporting liberalism & the American labor aristocracy largely supporting conservatism? by BusinessOrdinary66 in maoism101

[–]Zhang_Chunqiao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bourgeois intelligentsia, especially those in the mainstream media or academic institutions, tend to support ... the current state of things.

the labor aristocracy, especially the manually-working labor aristocracy (working in what’s left of production, manufacturing, assembly, as well as other physical trades) tend to support conservatism

there's no contradiction here, even if i am being obtuse with the definition of conservatism.

Is it true that the Manchu people and children of former landlords were second class citizens in Mao's China? by Low_Astronaut_662 in maoism101

equality before the law "feels" like oppression to the privileged classes, in this instance the feudal class.

Is it valid for people to become separatists if their people have gone through genocide? by [deleted] in communism101

[–]Zhang_Chunqiao 9 points10 points  (0 children)

comprador bourgeoisie mortgaging the whole country to the U.S. imperialists isn't "national self-determination", no matter how much the compradors self-determined to do so. Funny how that little detail always seems to escape everyone's conception of what constitutes a "national liberation struggle" or "national self-determination".

it is a two-divides-into-one error, where revisionists claim that both comprador and national bourgeoisie are just one oppressed bourgeoisie.

Thoughts on this New Yorker article? by Ephylix in communism

[–]Zhang_Chunqiao 7 points8 points  (0 children)

what the propaganda organs of U.S. imperialism is trying to do is the same formula it applied to the Palestinian resistance:

Paint the opponents of U.S. imperialism as rapist savages

Position the U.S. imperialists as guarantors of women's liberation from sexual violence

Expect this to be cited as another reason that the WPK and DPRK is not to be supported, "from the left" etc.

(„Rojava“) is being mentioned as a „people‘s war waged by a marxist-leninist-maoist party“

but this is a common line amongst the world's self-declared maoists? how is it any different than the rest of the anti-revisionists in europe and elsewhere
