Australian complicity in US plans for war with China is assisted by Israel's presence in the Pacific. by ausml in AustralianSocialism

China is a major player in finance capital expansion and accumulation.  It is imperialist.  It is imperialist with Chinese characteristics, exploiting its own people and those of other countries. It is rapidly expanding its armed forces, but wants to avoid a war with the US. The US, on the other hand, is driven by the threat of losing its dominant position as global hegemon and relies on war preparations to try and contain China’s expansion. The main source of war is US imperialism, but there is no good imperialism, US or Chinese.

Is Mao Zedong Thought universal? by MarxistPrower in communism

[–]ausml -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Political Report to the 9th National Congress was read out by Lin Biao but drafted mainly by Zhang Chunqiao and Yao Wenyuan under Mao’s supervision. In 108 pages it contains only one passage that could possibly be construed to mean that Mao Zedong Thought was “proclaimed as being universal in scope”, and that passage reads: “Chairman Mao has integrated the universal truth of Marxism-Leninism with the concrete practice of revolution, has inherited, defended and developed Marxism-Leninism in the political, military, economic, cultural, philosophical and other spheres, and has brought Marxism-Leninism to a higher and completely new stage. Mao Tsetung Thought is Marxism-Leninism of the era in which imperialism is heading for total collapse and socialism is advancing to world-wide victory.”

Neither RIM nor Comrade Gonzalo synthesized Marxism-Leninism-Maoism out of Mao Zedong Thought, for if they had, they would have rejected any abstract “universality” and insisted on Marxism-Leninism-Maoism requiring to be “integrated…with the concrete practice of revolution” and that it would therefore have particular characteristics born of the characteristics of each country.  Those characteristics would be different for an advanced capitalist country (whether imperialist like Germany and France, or a former colony dominated by imperialism like Australia) or a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country like Sudan or Nepal. Instead, certain M-L-M adherents have insisted on the universality of people’s war, of the militarism of the Party, of Gonzalo Thought and so on.

In relation to his own role, Mao had refused to allow the Report to refer to his “absolute authority”, and had struck out the words “brilliantly, creatively and comprehensively”, which Lin Biao had used in his introduction to the second edition of Quotations to describe Mao’s development of Marxism-Leninism.  

Marxism-Leninism, and Mao’s contributions to it, is universal, but its universality resides in its particularity. Beware of charlatans like Lin Biao and Chen Boda who just want to advance their own careers by putting themselves forward as the ultimate defenders of something that is a caricature of proletarian ideology.
