Through this post 关于1976年资本主义复辟的一些疑问, I understood how the comprador class (走资派) seized power through a coup and usurped the socialist regime. However, I am still unclear about how the bureaucratic monopoly bourgeoisie, which transformed from the comprador class, specifically dug into the socialist wall in China’s blood-and-tears history over the decades of so-called “reform and opening up,” how they sold out the country externally and suppressed internally, and how they gradually became imperialist countries? Although I know some superficial things, such as the abolition of the people’s commune in rural areas to implement household responsibility system, the factory director responsibility system and dual-track pricing in cities, and finally the more radical market economy reforms that led to large-scale layoffs of state-owned enterprise workers, I really have poor understanding of political economy and cannot grasp what these events mean for the masses. Today, listening to Fenghuo’s explanation about the Chinese revisionist’s export of capital to third-world countries, I feel angry on one hand, and on the other hand, I find it very hard to understand why Chinese revisionists have become imperialist countries in the past ten years or so. I think this topic is as big as “Why did China experience a capitalist restoration,” which could take several books to fully explain. But I would like comrades to give a brief answer to this question, as I am truly curious.
I have read the book “The Capital Movement in the Era of Reform and Opening Up” written by China Workers’ Research Network. My impression is that it describes the entire process of reform and opening up, as well as the restoration of capitalism, quite clearly, and it mentions class struggle quite a bit. But it’s been a long time, so my memory is not very clear. Also, that book was published in 2008, when China had not yet become an imperialist country.
The book you mentioned was written by Yan Yuanzhang from Li Minti’s school.
I had no idea they were connected before; what specifically in their content is considered reactionary?
In fact, the process of it becoming social imperialism is mentioned in the Chinese modern social imperialism major country written by Mao of the CPC.
