I come from a petty bourgeois background and am currently a student. I have engaged in social practice for a certain period in both rural areas and the service industry. My wish is to use informatization to implement a democratic planned economy system, gradually transitioning under socialist public ownership to communism. I started moving towards communism after November 2021. Through practice and subsequent doubts and negations, I have come to understand its fundamental nature. I have a hot temper, suspicious personality, and am lazy. I hope comrades will criticize me more.

Hello, I don’t understand what your name means. Could you explain it? Also, your self-introduction is a bit too brief. I’m not sure if you’ve looked at other people’s self-introductions; you might want to refer to what others have written. Additionally, I wonder which posts you’ve come across on the forum and which viewpoints have influenced you. Please share in detail so everyone can get to know you better. On the other hand, I also suggest that you try to learn more about everyone on the forum. It’s best to read the association’s official magazine and some important articles first, which will also help you understand everyone better. This way, you should be able to write a more detailed self-introduction.

King translated means my surname, Marx is my mentor, I want to commemorate him. Ultimately, I believe that I have understood the struggle between the two classes and two roads since the founding of the country, and therefore I think the current is revisionism. I have read “Introduction to the Proletarian Cultural Revolution” and “The Course of the Republic” and learned about the struggles of agricultural collectivization, the Great Leap Forward’s “Five Winds” and anti-“Five Winds” struggles, the “Three Autonomies and One Package” struggle, the struggles during the “Four Cleanups,” and the struggles of the Proletarian Cultural Revolution. What puzzles me is He Long’s February coup issue, and whether the widespread push for People’s Communes in 1958 was too hasty. I personally think that advanced agricultural cooperatives should be maintained for a while longer. Also, should all comics, animations, and games related to the secondary dimension now be rejected? I have only read the article “Zhongwei Revolution” on this forum, and haven’t read the others yet. I will study diligently. I really want to join the association, but I don’t know the channels. Also, I don’t know much about Western Marxism, I agree with Trotskyism’s theory of world revolution, but I oppose the rest. I don’t know much about Trotsky himself, there are two main opinions: that his contributions outweigh his faults, and that his faults outweigh his contributions.
I strongly support the proletarian cultural revolution. I believe that the reform and opening-up policy is more of a merit than a mistake; Chairman Mao almost deserves a perfect score. My theoretical level is not high; I have read “Selected Works of Mao Zedong,” “The Mao Zedong Anthology,” Volume V of “The Selected Works of Mao Zedong,” and I have also come into contact with “The Complete Works of Mao Zedong,” Grandma Jinghuo’s Volume VII, and “Das Kapital.”
I am not sure about “Introduction to the Proletarian Cultural Revolution,” but “The Course of the Republic” can tell you that it was written by the Trotskyist organization “Beida Hui,” which slanders the Great Leap Forward and also discusses the Cultural Revolution’s three-year theory, denying Lin Biao as a capitalist roader.
The February military coup is not clear, but we are certain that He Long was a capitalist roader and anti-communist warlord. As for the People’s Communes, they are a conscious product of our people, who actively promoted agricultural collectivization in line with the development of socialism. Chairman Mao and our Party definitely supported the masses strongly. Why is it considered “too hasty”?
Not all opposition, we oppose bourgeois comics, animations, and second-dimensional works. There are excellent comics and animations during the socialist period. To clarify, the second dimension is not an art form; it is bourgeois ideology. Comrade Fenghuo explained in “The Road of Future Revolution in China” that:
Second dimension: refers to art, film, and game works that use comic art forms to express reactionary ideas such as individualism, hedonism, heroism, etc., exploited by the bourgeoisie. Its main focus is “cute” and “exciting,” which are bourgeois色情思想 (pornographic ideas) and individual heroism. The second dimension should not be confused with art forms like comics and animation; it is a combination of comic art and reactionary bourgeois ideology. The comic art form of the second dimension is a specific form designed to carry reactionary content. For example, in Japanese second-dimensional animation, techniques often emphasize or weaken female sexual characteristics to shape character images, especially the “white, thin, young” style, which is a specific form used to express pornographic ideas that treat women as sexual tools.
You need to improve your self-introduction, answer questions from others, and after review, you can become a formal member; then actively participate in activities. After a period of investigation and confirmation of reliability, the organization will invite you to join.

The five volumes were edited by Hua Guofeng’s revisionism, and all 567 volumes of Jinghuo are full of black goods. After copying some popular articles at the time, there wasn’t much else. I don’t know if you’ve seen Mao Zedong and the central leadership meeting with Xie Fuzhi. The manuscript by Kuai Dafu is missing, it’s a mess. The “Collected Works” you mentioned, I remember, was compiled after the reform and opening-up, and I don’t want to comment on the content.

What do you think are the reasons for the advanced agricultural cooperatives to continue? It seems that the People’s Communes were led by party cadres forcing the people forward, rather than the people voluntarily establishing the People’s Communes themselves. Liu Shaoqi and his group immediately dismantled hundreds of thousands of agricultural cooperatives back then, but they still couldn’t withstand the farmers’ determination to organize themselves.

Regarding Western Malaysia, there are posts on the forum criticizing its reactionary nature, you can check:
Trotsky’s theory of world revolution (or the so-called “permanent” revolution) is reactionary and opposes Lenin’s correct conclusion that “under the imperialist background, socialism can first triumph in one or several countries.” Its purpose is to make the then surrounded and difficult situation of Soviet Russia abandon post-war economic recovery and continue fighting to facilitate imperialist strangulation of Soviet Russia and the restoration of capitalism.

In reality, the “reform and opening up” carried out by China’s bureaucratic monopoly bourgeoisie is not an achievement at all. The current improvement in living standards is merely due to some increase in productivity, which even socialist motherland can achieve, not the “merit” of bureaucratic capitalists. Moreover, the lives of the working class and other laborers are extremely difficult now, suffering heavy exploitation by the revisionist capitalists, and students are confined in capitalist universities, enduring harsh oppression. How can this be considered an achievement?
What basis is there for this? Where do you think the one point is?

Marx said, “The class that controls the means of material production also controls the means of spiritual production.” Currently, the ruling class in China is the bureaucratic monopoly bourgeoisie of the Zhongxiu (中修) faction, and the mainstream ideology is undoubtedly the bourgeois ideas of decay, decadence, hedonism, and so on. So what else are the personalism, hedonism, and individual heroism carried by those 二次元 (two-dimensional) comics? Can these things lead to revolution? The fire of the Zhongxiu (中修) faction clearly states, “二次元 (two-dimensional) and art forms like comics and animation should not be confused; 二次元 is a combination of comic art forms and bourgeois reactionary ideas. The comic art form of 二次元 is a specific form designed to serve the content of reactionary ideas.” I also want to ask in return: what do you think is the reason that 二次元 (two-dimensional) culture cannot be completely negated?

Stalin once described Trotsky’s theory of “permanent revolution” as a “theory of continuous failure” because the situations in different countries are fundamentally different, and revolutions cannot be launched simultaneously everywhere. Lenin also said that something that shines brightly is not necessarily gold, which is a critique of Trotsky. The theory of permanent revolution is only a part of Trotsky’s thought; later Trotskyists even developed a disgusting “entryism,” showing what kind of character their founding father was.

There are distortions in the Selected Works of Mao. Charles Bettelheim pointed out in his 1978 article “The Great Leap Backward”:
It is worth noting that the document of the People’s Daily quotes a very ambiguous and clearly altered sentence from “On the Ten Major Relationships” to suit the “current taste.” In the version of “On the Ten Major Relationships” officially published now; we see sentences that do not conform to Mao’s style or Mao’s approach to problem-solving: “All corrupt systems and ideological customs of the foreign bourgeoisie, we must resolutely resist and criticize. However, this does not prevent us from learning the scientific aspects of capitalist countries’ advanced technology and enterprise management methods.” During the Cultural Revolution, the version of “On the Ten Major Relationships” issued by the Red Guards did not contain such words from Mao. This version completely lacks the clichés about “decadent capitalist ideology” and does not mention any “scientific characteristics” of capitalist countries’ enterprise management. Mao Zedong’s words were much simpler. Clearly, Mao’s words have been altered to use his authority to cover up their defense of adopting capitalist enterprise management practices.
As for the so-called “Jinghuo” or other edited volumes of the Mao Selected Works, their authenticity is questionable, as there are many false materials, such as the so-called “confession” saying “I have done two things in my life…” which is almost certainly fake. Moreover, there are serious errors in the evaluation of Hua Guofeng; he was not a leftist but an emerging bourgeois element.

A year ago, I saw the Mao Zedong Selected Works compiled by Jinghuo, who was introduced to me by the Zuo Circle from school. In it, when evaluating Lin Biao, it was said that Lin Biao was merely “incompetent in teaching his son,” and he did not know about the counterrevolutionary coup plan of the Little Lin traitor; it also said that Li Xun was a “proletarian politician”… Such remarks are simply standing on the reactionary stance to defend these capitalist-roaders.

What I am referring to is the widespread promotion in 1958. The People’s Commune was indeed a product of the impoverished and lower-middle peasants in Henan, but that does not mean it was feasible everywhere in the country. According to Han Ding’s “Deep Plowing” or “Great Reversal,” even into the early 1970s and 1980s, about one-third of the communes in the province did not perform well, let alone during the initial period of land redistribution and the all-encompassing commune system. At that time, such encouragement inevitably led local officials to establish communes, which would certainly result in disconnection from reality and the masses. For example, just like the Shanghai Commune, it was not suitable for nationwide promotion, but rather a model like Heilongjiang’s three-in-one combined committee. I believe there were no major issues with the People’s Commune after 1962, but this “tuition fee” was too severe.
His theory of world revolution and continuous revolution are two parts. He believes that multiple countries need to erupt in revolution for the revolutionary government to be stable. I think this makes sense, but I do not agree with anything else.
The Shanghai People’s Commune and the revolutionary committees of the tripartite system are actually the same thing, just with different names. Jin Hai also mentioned this in “Ten Years of Non-Dream”:
On February 3rd, another preparatory meeting was held at the Shanghai Library, chaired by Zhang Chunqiao, with representatives from the constituent units participating. The meeting announced the decision by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Cultural Revolution Group to designate Zhang Chunqiao and Yao Wenyuan as revolutionary cadre representatives, and Liao Zhenguo, commander of the Guard District, as the military representative to participate in the commune. It conveyed Chairman Mao’s instructions for the army, cadres, and masses to seize power through the tripartite combination, and decided to change 38 constituent units into initiating units. The meeting discussed the leadership system of the commune. It was decided to adopt a group committee system; besides Zhang Chunqiao and Yao Wenyuan, all others would participate in the leadership not as individuals but as representatives of mass organizations.
No, I am talking about the beginning, when the Shanghai Commune decided to implement universal suffrage similar to the Paris Commune, not what was later suggested by the central authorities.
From the Rectification Movement to the Anti-Rightist Campaign, and then to the Great Leap Forward, His Excellency did not notice the expansion in time, and he arrested 550,000 rightists, although Deng was responsible. Then there was the 1959 Lushan Conference, which should not have been a large-scale anti-rightist campaign; it should have been resolved privately through conversations, like later handling of the Anti-Rightist Campaign, the Anti-Black Campaign, and the Solo Campaign. The anti-rightist movement at the local level would inevitably affect the local bureaucrats’ Five Winds. The Cultural Revolution mainly targeted Guangdong and Guangxi, but His Excellency did not consider the overall situation. Guangdong was controlled by Bao, and Guangxi was cannibalistic, also dealing with North Korea Yang and the May 16th elements, which expanded and targeted the rebellious factions.
I have always believed that even revolutionary mentors have flaws; social existence determines social consciousness. Before a communist society, perfect people would not appear. Chairman Mao, if he made a mistake, it was only a minor error.
Yes, Lenin wrote in “On the Slogan of the European Federation” that “the imbalance of economic and political development is an absolute law of capitalism. From this, it should be concluded that socialism can first be victorious in a minority or even in a single capitalist country.”
First-level and second-level adjustments are part of Liu Shaoqi’s black line, which, under the guise of being “left,” attempts to sabotage and disintegrate the emerging people’s communes.
