In the aftermath of the 1949 Revolution, the CCP was compelled to abolish the private ownership of property. However, in 1989, the Chinese bureaucracy crushed the upsurge of workers and young people over its anti-democratic rule and a worsening economic crisis and opened its doors to foreign investment.
The US is making war preparation against China even as it seeks to subjugate Russia. The Chinese bureaucracy led by Xi Jinping has no progressive solution to imperialist war but is seeking allies, including Putin, for a military alliance. Only the international working class can advance a policy against the developing war danger.
Lively interest in SEP literature at August 22 anti-war meeting, Peradeniya University.
Following the meeting many students expressed their eagerness to have further discussions with IYSSE members. A second-year political science student commented:
The lecture pointed out the devastation caused by war and its dangerous implications. I was able to understand and get confidence in SEP’s political program from the lecture. However, I had issues on how to bring this program to the masses and would like to discuss this with the SEP.
What was said in the lecture about the political organisations currently dominating universities is correct. The student union leaders are hostile to this type of program, and their politics have no solutions to these problems.
The critical issues of war and revolution do not occur to them. The lecturer explained that last year’s popular uprising was defeated due to a lack of working-class leadership. The solution to war and other problems is to provide this sort of leadership.
