No.953916
>>953900I think philosophically Mao's biggest mistake he made was the interpretation of the "contradiction" in Marxism. In theory, history has been pushed forward by all the struggles between contradictions. There are small struggles and there are big struggles. The small struggles push the change of quantity. The big struggles formed by those small struggles lead to the change of quality. Then society proceeds into the next stage and the circle would repeat itself in a similar form.
I don't think there will be any disagreement about that (unless you are willing to point out). But Mao took the literal interpretation by believing that having a great level of struggles over the contradictions in a short amount of time, then society would evolve much faster. While it's true that in theory the struggles will push society forward, if they are too frequent and intense, then whole society won't be able to sustain itself. In other words, the social order would not even exist but just anarchists taking over everything. There would be no achievement but just destruction and disruption.
Of course, Mao wasn't as naive as I describe because he did try to limit the scale of the Cultural Revolution, but the situation soon lost control and many opportunists who were supposed to be the target purposely escalated and broadened it into a total conflict. If we apply the chemical sense here, when the chemical reaction of molecules is so intense, frequent and unstable it's gonna trigger a massive explosion. Similarly, in physics, you can find the same phenomenon in the particle world. Since Marxism absorbed a lot of theories from natural science, it's not odd for me to borrow science to explain the nature of the Cultural Revolution.
For Deng, he may have been correct in bringing in changes, but changed too much of the system and caused big structural problems that had to be solved by later generations of leaders (corruption, growing inequality, and the detrimental effects of the influence of capital on government). Cause at the base of it, the Cultural Revolution had tremendous grassroots support and the peasants did get more benefit than disaster from it in the countryside, opposite of the cities. Or perhaps if Deng corrected the mistakes of the Cultural Revolution but didn't open the window fully to let in all the serious problems that accompanied his reforms, then that would've been better.

It's because anarchism is more accessible to the uninitiated but radically oriented, both in it being a synthesis of socialism and liberalism as well as it being theoretically less dense than Marxism, which takes years of reading, scientific study and practice to get a grip of.
Most Marxist on this site seem to have had an anarchist phase when political development threads come up.

Do I get snowflake points? Understanding dialectics and the point of communism took years though. Before that I was like "capitalism is immoral and dialectics don't matter". Now I know better. A lot of times talking to socialists online I am disappointed by their moralizing, lack of understanding dialectics or the relevance thereof and just not getting the point is to progress past capitalism, to harness the benefits capitalism has brought, without the restrictions. To self-crit a bit although my power level grows there is still a lot I don't understand. Such as why is the war in Ukraine happening, why has the West decided to destroy its economies? None of the offered explanations are satisfactory to me. It seems like an unprecedented event, where an inter-dependent world in terms of trade is suddenly teared apart over what? How does this advance the interests of the ruling classes of either side? It is a mystery to me.

>>953916with the advantage of being able to look back at history, it seems like the mistake all communist leaders made at some time or another was to move too fast along a path which they thought was right, without treating people as people first and foremost and experimenting and taking it slow. I dont know if this is an indictment since who knows what could have been the outcome of too much caution and not enough timeliness. But for us here in the 21st century, we ought to be 100% for a scientific approach to all matters, rather than dogmatism. One good thing about Deng (even though he is very equally guilty of this idealism, or just treachery) is that he showed that a communist party can embrace privatization and markets, if it seems to be the way to success. They can't be an ultimate goal since they hold within them unavoidable pitfalls, we know this because of Marx, but it gives us space to, e.g., not force collectivization, or force a certain use of farmland, etc. No matter what, we start from where we stand now, and move rationally.
thanks anon for this post, its always good to learn some more about mao
>>953923This points to an important problem for understanding the role of a socialist party. On the one hand, it is a tool of the working people against the bourgeois establishment, on the other hand in cases where revolution wins the party has come into control of the state, and the state acts best when it doesn't try to appease or push some ideological line.
This is a problem we see in socialist countries, where the party becomes basically synonymous with the state, and is no longer fighting for the people, instead it becomes bloated with all kinds of factions in order to run the government (since it takes lots of bureaucrats), and inevitably some liberal takes control. Though i just realized i'm only thinking of russia and china, so idk if this holds…. what did vietnam and laos do? I'm not going to count cuba because for the longest time castro was the leader. They seem to be doing ok tho.
Anyways, do you think that this means there can't be a one party solution, or that the party should be more strict, or something else? I think it's good to have a one-party (basically no-party) state and to allow democracy within it, because it's the people's after all, but the socialist party of the country then should split and be actively engaged again in a grassroots way, apart from any government activity.

>lifting people out of poverty
Steven Pinkerton tier arguments
Capitalism lifts people out of poverty, congratulations for concluding capitalism is progressive as Marx did. Where your lack of understanding theory shows is thinking lifting people out of poverty is socialism. Capitalism already does that. Marx himself agreed with the assertion of Lassalle that wages in "the long run" will necessarily sustain the lives of workers. The point of socialism (as envisioned by Marx & Engels) is to SURPASS capitalism, or in German aufheben (which was translated in anglospeak into "abolish" which fails to convey the immanent dialectic implications of the word). Let's use poverty as an example. Though it is true capitalism lifts people out of poverty, what is EQUALLY true is that it keeps them in poverty through the mechanism of the reserve army of labor. In this case SURPASSING capitalism would mean employing EVERYONE; in doing so poverty automatically vanishes. This is dialectical materialism.
Western Dengoids are sheltered college kids who never experienced or studied the growths of their countries, they take it for granted. Then they see the growth of China and think this is "socialism" because look they're lifting people out of poverty while my country isn't! Except your country has already lifted people out of poverty, and the ones remaining in poverty are due to the reverse army of labor mechanism.
Fight me Dengoids.

You're trying to act like mediation is the issue when the issue is quite clearly the bourgeoise.

That has absolutely no bearing on the truth or untruth of the argument.
What matter are which paths have proven themselves viable. Thus far, as far as we can tell, the way China constructs socialism is the only way to viably do so, so if that is capitalism, then capitalism is the only proven road to socialism.

It's also true that capitalists receive many privileges, but it's not like in the west where the capitalist class stands above the law or is the one that makes the rules. There is no way a bunch of billionaires can tell the politburo and the central committee what to do.
The Chinese state executive looked away when "rowdy" workers lynched a capitalist who was popularizing the idea that one generation of workers had to be sacrificed for progress. The capitalists have to go along with the plans of the communist party, and they can't interfere with social outcomes, or else they risk proletarian wrath.

I'm sure that their will come a time when the Chinese socialists will have to struggle against the capitalists to keep their modern prosperity. Because eventually the Chinese capitalists will go bad and become neoliberal ghouls that suck the life out of society like in the west. But the socialists in China are in a better position than the capitalists, they are a lot more entrenched.

Western social democracies and SWCC did have similar levels state control, but there is a big difference that makes the former not socialist and the latter socialist: imperialism and anti-imperialism. Welfare states were built on the exploitation of the third world, using the proceeds of imperialism to create class peace in the imperial core. Most of the world being in poverty while only a few European/Anglo-Saxon/East-Asian countries are prosperous and relatively equal is just as socialist as an ancient Greek democracy is democratic where a large part of people living in the polity don't have voting rights nor any other rights.
Meanwhile China was an underdeveloped country with a communist leadership and strong state control which decided to partly integrate itself into the world (capitalist) economy to acquire the necessary technology and utilise the progressive aspects of capitalism (i.e. industrial capital, which is being abandoned by the imperial core anyway). The reasons why the socialist system in China (CP rule, control of the commanding heights, preservation and state guidance of pre-industrial small propretiors) isn't destroyed by the considerable capitalist elements in the economy are the same reasons why welfare states disappeared so quickly without a major political crisis:
1. Both systems were instuted by states which on the basis of their class character very much wanted the compromise to not evolve into anything further than a compromise. In the case of welfare states not only the bourgeois nature of the political system played a crucial role, but also the military-intelligence state apparatus which was driving the Cold War and had serious concerns about socdem parties or anyone else stepping out of the line.
2. States of bourgeois or proletarian class character were able to utilise the declassing effects of imperialism to maintain their rule. Western capitalists knew that they need a social compromise to preserve social stability and win the Cold War, while Chinese capitalists understand that without the guidance of the Communist Party and strong state control of the economy they couldn't have become successful capitalists in the first place. On the surface, the state only has to remain committed to imperialism/anti-imperialism to preserve its class character and it doesn't have engage in class struggle directly (take a look at what is happening in China:

Had this been the 50's I'd never have rushed to say that the USSR was doomed to failure, even if that was the eventual result. Me saying that would have been conjecture and I would be speaking out of turn, presenting my opinion as knowledge.
>British capitalism might as well be socialism by virtue of its persistent existance for several centuries now.Well, the British empire collapsed largely, so it wasn't. If you mean Thatcherism, then yes, that proved itself a viable path to perpetuate capitalism. It was a viable path. Social liberalism by the 70's no longer was. History indicates this.
>by being a materialist who understands that there are classes with distinct interests in conflict with one another and you can't just handwave them away by having a powerful technocratic state with the right ideas mediate social harmony.

Sure, speculation and trying to calculate the future is warranted. It is even necessary to predict the correct line. If the correct line is not determined, it will lead to fall. However, the correct line must be determined through a process of rigorous historical analysis, and not be dogmatic. We must predict the future through the lens of reality as it happened.

Why is it that no one else was able to adopt the East Asian developmentalist model outside of East Asia? South Korea and Taiwan were able to prosper because they were allowed to by the US. These two countries were and still are capitalist regimes under the influence of the biggest imperial power in history, the United States. They only used the state interventionism to kickstart their industry and avoid a pro-communist revolt. Industrial policy was discarded later in favour of neoliberalism. Both countries are struggling with severe social problems and neither of them were able to reach a level where they could start exporting capital to stave off capitalism's contradictions. South Korean workers suffer a notoriously high workload and many Taiwanese are only finding suitable job opportunities in the Mainland, in spite of Taiwan being vastly richer than most other Chinese provinces.
Meanwhile the reason behind China's rise wasn't a political concession. They recieved Western investment because Western capital needed to offload its own contradictions, and China was a perfect candidate for that because of its large, skilled and disciplined workforce and the infrastucture built before the reform. China was able to utilise this to its own ends by maintaining strong state control through which they could reappriopriate foreign industrial strength into their own domestic economy. The general aim of this was very clearly underlined by the CPC: the preservation of the socialist system in times of retreat. The PRC is showing no signs of moving towards a sudden liberalization like in South Korea or Taiwan. State control, especially in the political sense is only being strengthened.

Hoxhaists tend to be cringe on China and AES. It just comes across as dogmatism. Deng wasn’t the only prominent CPC member who supported the reforms. From what I have read of Deng's own words and seen of Deng's own actions, (and for that matter Xi as well) he comes across as a principled Marxist (and ofc there's always more for me to learn/read but you know).
#QUESTION TO THE WESTOIDS:
If deng wasn't a marxist, why did he join the CPC before it was ever remotely relevant, and fight in the Civil War for them when it would have been a thousand times easier just to join the KMT? And also if Deng was a “capitalist roader” or KMT spy, why did he not try to coup Mao when he practically controlled the army?
China isn't even imperialist, just look at how much China is impacted by unequal exchange. Minqi Li wrote an article for Monthly Review about it:

>>954045>What would China look like today if the Gang of Four held control?It would have been overthrown around 1989 (if not sooner) in the wave of the Color revolutions that hit the Socialist world. The Gang of Four had no Economic program and saw Building Productive forces as 'Bourgeois Economism'. While the Chinese economy grew during Mao's leadership in the last year of the cultural revolution where the Gang of Four was in charge the Chinese economy contracted and got smaller by 1%. After being overthrown China would have either become a 'Liberal Democracy' or turned into a second Warring States period.
> Better to be poor under Socialism and Communism than to be rich under Capitalism.- Gang of Four's famous slogan during the cutural revolution
Deng Xiaoping becoming the leader post mao's death was the best person who could lead China at the time.

>>968589yes but this does not mean china is socialist as seen in these statistics from sk
https://www.ide.go.jp/library/English/Publish/Periodicals/De/pdf/03_02_05.pdfnew middle class, old middle class, upper middle class grew a decent amount during the park era. Additionally working class also grew.(pg 204) Not only that the second industry aka industry also grew from 9 percent to 29 percent at the end of the park era. and as you can see from the data in pg 208 most of the new middle class and old middle classs fathers were farmers, which suggests social mobility(tho this is from 1990)
besides that child mortality decreased from 10.66 to 3.66 during the park era.
and if we look at these charts livelihood absolutely improved in sk does that mean sk was socialist, no

and in regards to the CIA and Mao; at first glance it would be absurd to suggest there is a connection but funnyily enough the founders of the CIA actually did indirectly aid Mao in his revolution through there indirect support of him during the Tibetan revolution.
Ya see the CIA, or what would later become the CIA (the US army where the agency sending in 'spies' into Tibet) had people in there reporting, and the reports (of course) where pro-mao and anti-tibet, as spy reports typically are factual and unshrouded by as much political bias it gave a pretty factual account of the situation in Tibet, mainly that of one country liberating another from feudal serfdom.
Which ended in the US gov sending some aid and money to Tibet to indirectly support Maos cause.
Some shitlibs will argue that in both cases it 'proves' that both are backed by the CIA but its a retarded arguement.

Prior to the 1950s though we had British spies in there (for no reason anon, I assure you)
Saying this;
>Robert W. Ford, one of the few Westerners to have been appointed by the Government of Tibet at the time of de facto independent Tibet, spent five years in Tibet, from 1945 to 1950, before his arrest by the invading Chinese army. In his book Wind Between the Worlds: Captured in Tibet, he writes">All over Tibet I had seen men who had been deprived of an arm or a leg for theft (…) Penal amputations were done without antiseptics or sterile dressings"
