The China Question
Over the last century, China has been a place of recurrent
social upheaval. From the combative anti-colonial general strikes of
1925-1927 to the mass mobilization of peasants in the 1930s and 1940s,
including the upheavals of the Cultural Revolution and the student and workers'
democracy movements of the 1980s, the Chinese people have repeatedly engaged in
struggles against material inequalities and political oppression. However,
since the violent crackdown on the democracy movement in Tiananmen Square in
1989, many people in China, as well as internationally, have come to believe
that decades of rapid economic growth have stifled social resistance. This
could not be further from the truth: although the Communist Party was successful
in extinguishing sustainable political opposition...
The chapters of this book bring enlightening and radical views
about these movements. China is indeed a complex society, and connecting to its
social struggles is quite difficult for foreigners. However, this volume
highlights the commonality of struggles around the world against class
exploitation, racial and ethnic hierarchy, and gender oppression. Although
these movements take different forms in China and in the Americas or Europe,
they are simultaneously linked by the global system of capitalism. The entire
working class and oppressed peoples can and must be united in the struggle for
an expansion of radical democracy and in opposition to capitalist expropriation
and exploitation. In the chapters that follow, we'll look at the heroism,
successes, as well as failures of China's experiments.
