I am a Marxist in China
Orthodox Marxists in the Chinese internet community often view Russia and Iran as weak links in imperialism, rather than as anti-imperialist forces .However, in the view of Chinese Marxists, opposing the global hegemony of the United States takes precedence over opposing secondary imperialisms (Iran, Russia).
The person in the picture is Yang Heping, a US citizen with a Chinese green card, and he is the most popular orthodox Marxist-Leninist-Maoist self-media figure on the Chinese internet (with 3 million followers on Tiktok and 800,000 on Bilibili). Yang Heping advocates that whether it's Ukraine, Russia, or Iran, "the truth is on the side of the proletariat, not on the side of any government or capitalist."
In China, those who unconditionally support Iran and Russia are usually nationalists or national leftists.
I wonder if the differences between the left-wing in Europe and America and the left-wing in China are really that significant?
"Lu Xun wrote New Year's Sacrifice and created the classic literary figure of Xianglin's Wife (Xianglin Sao) with the core aim of exposing and criticizing the cannibalistic nature of feudal ethics and the patriarchal clan system, and of awakening the numb Chinese populace. The villagers initially expressed sympathy for Xianglin's Wife's misfortunes, but soon turned her story into idle gossip and amusement after their meals. In the end, she committed suicide in despair. Through this, Lu Xun criticized the feudal ideology of the time, which rendered the Chinese people numb, cold, and devoid of compassion.
Yet this usage of 'Xianglin's Wife' as a derogatory term (who on earth would treat her name as a pejorative?) strikes me as precisely the opposite of Lu Xun's intent, and also reveals the cognitive logic of certain so-called 'Marxists' in China—in their mindset, a proletarian should not speak online about living a hard life; if you are having a hard time, you should work even harder, otherwise you are just fishing for attention. This creates a closed loop: when all those who are struggling are silenced, because 'admitting your failure online means you are actually doing well,' then you must work and study diligently offline (and if you fail, it proves you haven't tried hard enough). Thus, this society becomes the 'least bad' one, constantly and gradually improving."
别他妈拿无产阶级给你这破cosplay贴金了。真以为写段鲁迅阅读理解，就能掩盖你网上疯狂刷存在感、卖惨博同情的本质？你这套“众人皆醉我独醒”的爹味说教，除了证明你是个沉浸在自己幻想里的傻逼，什么也证明不了。
带着你那套自我感动的逻辑给爷爬，别在这儿恶心人。
