The past week has seen the largest wave of protests in China for over 30 years, as discontent over harsh lockdown measures, bureaucratic mismanagement and corruption, and the deep crisis of Chinese capitalism has boiled over onto the streets.

In this talk, Daniel Morley outlines the Marxist perspective for the class struggle in China, and why workers and youth must take the revolutionary road.

Mass protests: Where is China going?

From 1925 to 1927, the young Chinese working class waged a revolutionary struggle against the decaying order of the warlords and imperialists. Tragically, the errors of the Stalinist Comintern led to the crushing of this revolution.

In this talk, Daniel Morley outlines the key lessons of these events, and draws out the need for class independence and a socialist programme.

The 1925-27 Chinese Revolution and the role of Stalinism

With less than three weeks to go until the founding of the Revolutionary Communist Party, we sit down with Jorge Martín, a leading member of the soon-to-be Revolutionary Communist International which is also being founded this summer.

In this episode, we cover why the working class needs an international, the successes we've had in the recent period, as well as how the international works.
