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

[Recorded in November 2023]

With NATO staring down the barrel of an embarrassing defeat in Ukraine, the western imperialists' boastful jingoism has turned into its opposite.

While some on the so-called 'left' continue to call for support for Zelensky's gang – thereby betraying the interests of workers everywhere – the Communists have taken a principled, internationalist position since day one.

In this talk from last year's Revolution Festival, Hamid Alizadeh outlines the only way to fight imperialism and war: proletarian internationalism and socialist revolution.
