Decades after the fall of the Soviet Union, the legacy of the Sino-Soviet split stands out sharply in the history of socialism and the Cold War as a major turning point, impacting conflicts all over the world and within the movement, the collapses of 89-91, and China's relationship with the West and embrace of foreign investment.
How do Marxists in China (inside and outside of the CPC) think of it? As justified, as a mistake, as well-intentioned but with bad consequences? What works of theory analyzes its causes, effects? And in light of China's reform and opening up, how is "revisionism", in general and as an ideological rebuke of liberalization in the post-Stalin era in particular, understood?
Any and all answers appreciated, let me know if another comm is better suited for this post.
Yeah, along with the Chinese state suppressing labor strikes and protests
won’t someone please think of the gusanos
if you’re new here and not a troll, go subscribe to !sino@hexbear.net.
Because striking workers are the same as gusanos, apparently
arresting Maoists organising factory workers to build socialism.
But I’m sure the dengists will tell me it was all a CIA plot to overthrow the CPC.

there are systems to address labor disputes through the party. Look up how it functions.
the US has a long history of funding “labor activists” and “political dissidents” in countries it wants to destabilize. I trust none of it.

The CIA infiltrated truckers unions in Chile before 9/11 to try and shut down the country, and the anti-communist Union "Solidarity" in Poland was largely responsible for the fall of the socialist system there during the turn of the 90s. Unions are an important tool in class struggle but they can realistically only go so far, a well armed and studied party can be almost infinitely more effective.

Unions are of course an extremely powerful system, which is why the USA spends so much money and time trying to infiltrate them.

Enough to know what I’m talk about, not providing doxable information here. How much time have you spent in China?

It’s not that there aren’t legitimate labor issues in China, it’s that there are mechanisms for those issues to be resolved internal to the country and the communist party at the helm of China.
