Xiang Jingyu, born on this day in 1895, was one of the earliest female members of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and a pioneer of the women's movement of China. She was executed by Guomindang police on May 1st, 1928.
Xiang Jingyu was politically radicalized when she attended the Montargis Women's University in France. While studying there, Jingyu read many of Marx's works and became a communist.
In 1923, Xiang became editor of a weekly supplement to The Republican Daily, a Guomindang newspaper. The same year Xiang Jingyu was also elected as a Central Committee member and became the first secretary of the "Women's Movement Committee".
In 1924, Xiang led a strike involving about ten thousand female workers from silk factories. Then, she founded the "Committee of Women's Liberation" and trained many female cadres, who then became a force against feudalism and imperialism.
Xiang Jingyu was arrested in the French Concession Sandeli in Wuhan on March 20th, 1928. French officials turned her over to the Guomindang in April. On May 1st, 1928 she was executed.

when the small business owner says vaguely leftist things
Every remotely good vegan food place has a bunch of anti-capitalist slogans posted around. I know the owner doesn't believe it, but at least it ends up as a decent signifier that the tempeh is good
the point here is that professional youtubers, podcasters, twitch streamers etc. are all small business owners
making the majority of your income by WAGE LABOUR, you're a prole
making the majority of your income by literally anything else, you aren't
if you don't get this then you did not understand marx
read theory again until you get it
preferably while being guided by a party
libs, the lot of you
I mean there's a really big difference between making money by exploiting wage labour and by creating a popular product through your own labour. I'm not arguing that makes any left content creator a prole, but they're also not necessarily bourgeois either.
2.. they are literally no different from any other version of the petit bourgeoisie, the only "difference" is instead of paying a landlord for workshop space, they pay a "platform" for digital space how is that different?
