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

All across the world capitalism is in crisis. Climate change, imperialist war and the crushing poverty of the vast majority are exposing millions to the horror of the system and driving them towards revolutionary conclusions. 

But to bind these class fighters together and channel their anger into the fight for communism, a world party is needed, one that can create, school and orientate a leadership ready to successfully carry through the world socialist revolution.

That is what we are building. 

In this session, Fred Weston will discuss the history of the International Marxist Tendency, and why, by building on the firm foundation of theory, it has been able to emerge as the strongest revolutionary force amongst workers and youth internationally.
