Seems suspect lol. Does he think the Soviets had the power to export a top-down proletarian revolution to China? Like, Mao didn’t conjure millions of peasants into existence. They were the primary underclass in China. You don’t just choose to be ideologically proletarian lol
Maybe I’m misunderstanding the claim
He claims Stalin thought China wasn’t ready for a proletariat revolution, and for that he didn’t support them. According to him, Stalin also abandoned the socialist Spain to be torn apart by fascists because of his “socialism in one country” doctrine.
Idk why, but the left-wing in my country is either left deviationist (Trots, MLMs, Hoxhaists) or right deviationist (demsuccs, patsuccs, succdems). I’ve yet to see a real ML who doesn’t crap on the USSR and PRC and their leaders.
