Hey comrades, can someone please enlighten me on the holes that I have on my knowledge of China. I know that China currently has a restricted bourgeoisie class to be able to get enough capital to modernize the entire country. And that makes me wonder, if China has plans to eventually get rid of their bourgeoisie once it achieves it target goal. Does it have ever set a date or a specific plan on this?

    Hijacking this like Leila Khaled.

    Can anyone recommend any good books generally on the history of the Chinese revolution and maybe its initial stages?

        Thanks! This one seems really great!

        I found it really cheap so I already bought it.

      A user already gave a book, so if you want a TV historical drama (you can turn your brain off to supplement the book) about the origins of the Communist Party, you can watch "The Age of Awakening here or here (translation is a little funny on either, choose whichever makes the most sense for you)

      I really liked it but it depends if you enjoy every detail being explored in a show, starting with Chen Duxiu before the Communist party was established. Speaking of, Chen is played by one of my favorite Chinese actors who did a really good job in the Three Body Problem as Da Shi.
