How I became a political pundit (3)2/1/2020 Continue from Part 2...
Part 1 Part 4 On Dec. 22, Patrice posted a link under the title “Commentary on John Wight’s ‘coroner’s piece’ on Corbyn’s defeat” https://www.greanvillepost.com/2019/12/22/john-wight-on-corbyns-cynically-engineered-defeat/ On Dec. 23, a comment arrived from a well-known journalist. Member F comments: “I don't take issue with anything he says here but John Wight has seriously gone astray lately. He's a Scottish remainer who perpetuates the myth that all 17 million Brits that voted to leave the EU are motivated purely by racism and that Brexit is ‘not a class issue.’" I also posted a response to Patrice. Peter Man: “It is a wonder with all these failed revolutions that no serious revolutionary has made an effort to understand the only one that is still standing and in fact still striving. Notice how America and its vassals are attacking China on all fronts except by direct military confrontation. I know a lot of revolutionaries on the left think that the current China is capitalist but that is only because they do not understand the nature of the Chinese revolution and that it is still in progress. While Wight never mentions China, he says, ‘... there is no final defeat or final victory. There is only struggle, sometimes open sometimes hidden.’ and ‘... attacks on Corbyn and his allies could only have been defeated if fire had been fought with fire.’ Indeed, China under the leadership of the CCP has been trying to beat the devil at its own game. People can say what they want, but I lived in China for the past twenty years. My wife is from China. I know what I experienced. I like to repeat a few mantras for people who think that they're revolutionaries and want to make a difference for their fellow human beings. ‘Never take a knife to gunfight.’ ‘Dying is easy; revolution is hard.’ We need to learn why revolutions fail. We need to learn how to win. We need people to understand and support the revolution. Then we need to walk out of the mountains on our own. We need to never give up. Easier said than done, but the CCP has done it all. I had written a long mail earlier about the failure of revolutions. My book, if you're reading it, tells the whole story of the Chinese revolution. The fact that there is one still alive and kicking means there's hope." Member G [indefatigable activist] comments: “Not only China, but successful socialist revolutions are standing up to withering global capitalist subterfuge in Russia, Iran, DPRK, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Eritrea, Cuba ….” Member H responds [another well-known journalist]: “I fully share your views on China. Have not lived in China for 20 years like you, but on and off visiting China. Last month, invited by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences for the Conference of Building a Community with a shared Future... in Shanghai; also met with several university people in Beijing... China is celebrating the 70th Birthday of her revolution - and what an achievement, no where in the world in recent history, or in our times, a country has achieved what China has achieved in 70 years - and is going strong... “China’s Revolution – ‘Socialism with Chinese Characteristics’ – as they call it, is a revolution that has crossed the threshold from revolution to evolution. Today and most likely in the foreseeable future, it is a revolution in evolution. Maybe that's what many people do not understand – the dynamics of revolution. “Plus, China follows the Tao philosophy of non-aggression – which is visible everywhere and most strikingly in her foreign policy. It’s an enshrined line of thinking … of lifestyle. “You wouldn't believe it reading the MSM, but that's precisely what the West cannot stomach, that there is a country that swallows all aggression against it and does not respond with counter-aggression."
