Comrades who have been/live in China, I'm visiting sometime next year! I've commented about this before but it's coming up on the new year so.

Any advice on where to go, how to behave, what to see, do? Any information would be appreciated, I'm so excited

    Fr though, that’s probably the only way you’ll get a conversation about Marxism and communism.

    The majority of the Chinese aren’t all that knowledgeable about it unless they pursue politics as a career. Some older people might have traces of MZD thought, but it’s not really a thing.

    To be fair, a lot of what we’re learning here is revolutionary theory. It’s theory, when applied, would lead to a revolution.

    China’s already had their revolution. They don’t need to know how to start another one. They need to know how to protect itself from imperialism while advancing socialism. (Because it’s a third world country) One element of which is to be nationalistic, but in moderation.

    If a revolution is to succeed in NA or the EU, we would have to take a different approach, as they are mainly first world countries. Nationalism in this context means to advance imperialism rather than to resist imperialism.
