yeah. i did some reading and apparently the extent of their support is a single arms shipment that went through rebel territory that had plainclothes guards. seemed a bit weird to me. the pm at the time acted like he never heard of an arms shipment from china. if you wanna counteract that shit hit me up im hyped
Exporting [bourgeois] weapons for a revolution isn’t Maoism. Maoism is when you export revolutionaries.
Revolution is not a matter of more guns in a country, it’s a matter of class contradictions within a country, and those contradictions are always internal to a country. Revolutions come from within - Maoist China had the world’s most advanced schools for revolutionaries.
The idea of giving everyone rocket launchers? That’s capitalist. Weird how the social imperialists did the same thing. Blame them.
Does exporting revolution even work? That’s a much harder question.
Wasn’t it more like “the USSR is revisionist so we (China) will intervene on behalf of anti-soviet third world groups, even if those groups are on the US side of the Cold War axis”?
That was the initial spilt, yes. But it's hard to go from that to "therefore we should invade Vietnam." I know China had difficult choices to make but the more I read about Deng, even from his own writings, the more I disagree.
china did this thing where they did little a imperialism as a treat during the deng years in order to increase productive forces or something
they also invaded vietnam once.

Oh yeh, for sure they made the wrong call. The initial assessment was correct, but they went in a very counterproductive direction.
