The mentality of "proletarian-based organization" was disastrous for the Communist Party of China in the early 1930s. Finally, at the Zunyi conference in 1935, the great Leninists Mao Zedong and like-minded succeeded in transforming the CPC into a party set on revolution step by step all the way to communism. It was a Leninist party, and the party commanded the army, which was of necessity composed mostly of peasants. There was no other way in a vast country with a tiny working class, a country with no crucial industry such as Petrograd and Moscow had. Meanwhile, the Trotsky---s in China largely stayed in the cities. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
