For communists, China has a special importance, as it is home to the largest working class in the world.
While the western capitalists denounce China as a totalitarian dictatorship, and the Stalinists praise it as a socialist motherland, Marxists must have a scientific understanding of the Chinese regime.
In this episode, Jorge Martín explains the real nature of China today; its place in the world capitalist system; as well as the crisis, inter-imperialist conflict, and class struggle headed its way in the coming period.

People have to remember the analysis of China in this video is not the final definitive understanding of current Chinese conditions. Wat this video is a critical look at China that we can use as we try to understand where we are at the moment.

Actually, there is a very good talk of our American comrades (socialist revolution) that deals with the Chinese revolution of 1949 which deals with the processes before, during and after the revolution. I learned quite a lot from this talk

China investing and building the world is a double edged sword. On he ine hand it's imperialist. But on the other, because of Chinese historical worldviews and the ideology of the CPC, it is helping devolope lower economies to a higher standard. One also needs to calculate the fact China needs supply a kiving to over a billion citizens. Which requires it to use its surplus in money and steel for examples. Money being lent and invested for development. Steel to build railways as example.

@Ashley-1917 6 месяцев назад

"It helps develop economies" can be said about every form of imperialism, but it does not make it any less imperialistic. Chinese imperialism, like any other imperialism, does not "raise up" poor nations, but rather keeps them subjugated in a cycle of debt and predatory resource extraction. Sure they will fund factories and stuff, but the smaller nations will not expect to reap the rewards of those investments. The development brought to these countries by imperialism does not serve the growth of the native economy, but the imperialist country that put down the investment. In other words, Chinese factories in Africa create profit for the Chinese investors, not the native economy.

@@Ashley-1917你说的对，因为社会主义是国家政体，只服务于本国人民，你不可能指望社会主义国家对别国也是社会主义😂，除非全世界大同，都是社会主义，那人类才能往共产主义迈进，国与国之间才能真正的和平互助，否则指望社会主义中国无偿帮助弱国只是一种幻想，这样相当于敌对的国家削弱了中国。美国的同志们你们的勇气我很佩服，但是革命是要流血的，建议你们参考毛泽东的理论，虽然不一定符合美国的国情，但是可以指导你们武装斗争，否则你们的革命带有妥协性会失败的，也很容易被人利用。

One can't help but look at the diametrically opposing view expressed in this video about China as an Imperialist power. The 'accusations' levelled against China seems to be they have huge companies. So the alternative is to have small companies? In communist/socialist doctrine, does economies of scale not have a place? Note that China has taken extremem measures to curb the power of Tech companies in 2017-18, and property developers in 2022, to great negative impact on its GDP growth. This is precisely to not let Capital becoming unbridled and unregulated. In the meantime, China has raised 700 million people out of poverty in 40 years. Unprecedented in human history. This is a huge socialist accomplishment, but enabled by using capitalist tools. It seems to me, this talk takes a very one-sided perspective of China's economic policies, simply to press home the point that China is Capitalist and Imperialist even. That is one of the problems with the Socialist camp, always ideologically one-eyed, closed-minded and interested in pushing old Marxist agenda. There are other paths in socialism that can bring development and progress. Grow up!

@pitpalac 6 месяцев назад

People who need to grow up are those who are deluding themselves, thinking that is good to use capitalist tools to achieve socialism. What are these "capitalist tools", what kind of tools they are, what are the meanings of these "capitalist tools"?! They are technical concrete things(?!), such as hammers, needles, scissors, sickles, knives, combustion engines, electrical motors, welding machines, etc. Or, these capitalist tools are some abstract things (rules) written to divide people on ownership of capital. China is a capitalist imperialist power who needs a never-ending expansion, an infinite growth of their "capitalist tools", like the rest of imperialist powers of the present or the past. These imperialist capitalist powers don't know the meaning of the word stagnation or even the opposite meaning of the word growing or growth. It is not in their capitalist vocabulary. I choose to remain an infantile, one side eye, closed minded socialist, than to grow up.

The ideas is to have zero companies. Hense communism .

@Ashley-1917 6 месяцев назад

No, the criticism is not that "they have large companies", but they have large, privately owned, capitalist companies. Far from demanding the breakdown of companies into smaller units, we are generally for larger economic units under worker's control. Ideally, all of production is concentrated in a single state syndicate.

@williamc9578 6 месяцев назад

@@Ashley-1917 you completely ignored the latter half of my comment, which adds context to the Chinese approach to economically uplifting a large portion of their population. The insistence that there's only 1 way to make progress strictly adhering to state-owned dogma is the problem I pointed out at the end of my comment above. A lack of pragmatism, and unflinchly insistent on ideological dogma is closed-minded.

Once mao-tse-tung advised the new generation of students, " don't forget class struggle." Since notorious deng xio ping who was correctly branded 'capitalist roader' during the great cultural revolution hurriedly dismantled communes, collective farms, distributed land amongest new kulaks in the name of economic development. A socialist country has thus been converted into a capitalist country

@yaya-zl1bn Месяц назад

Mao knows nothing but class struggle. He don‘t care to improve the living conditions of the average Chinese people. He also extremely lacked basic science education growing up, that’s why he launched the Great Leap Forward and thought farmers can somehow produce iron at home thus killed 20 million people (at least). Deng XiaoPing’s greatest achievement is to put educated people in charge of the country and respect science again. Mao’s greatest evil, is not totalitarianism, but being deeply anti-intellectual. China in the Cultural Revolution is at her lowest IQ in her 4000 years history, all because of Mao’s delusion.

China is half socialism and half capitalism, and China was never a communism country. the definition of socialism is simple, China has GDP 50% created by state owned enterprise, which is socialism, the rest are private capitalism model. China can avoid economy crisis because its state-own socialism model is the shelter to resist capitalism greed.

@TheLetterH111 5 месяцев назад

I will never understand why people come into the comments of videos like this, dont watch the video and then provide some hot take as if it's a dialogue. No: China has a capitalist mode of production, and as he demonstrates in this lecture, they are moving away from a controlled economy. I.e. the private share of the economy is increasing. That is not the progression of a socialist state, that is regression
