Subject: M-G: COCKROACH! Notice. (Radiotime China!) 


This is the final draft of the radio program on China
taped for Straightfacts radio November 1 1997..

Good Evening.  This is Bob Malecki reporting for Straight Facts
somewhere in northern Scandinavia quite near the Polar Circle!


China on the brink of capitalist counter-revolution.

The recent incorporation of the ex-British colony of Hong Kong
ended a long period of British imperialist rule in this part of the
world.  Good!  Great!  But unfortunately the Chinese Stalinists with
their political line of "One Country, Two Systems" is taking the
Chinese Revolution on the path of capitalist counter-revolution.

Alongside the above policy by the Chinese Stalinist bureaucracy is
the recent National Party Congress that has taken another decisive
turn in the direction of capitalist counter-revolution with its plans to
privatize large sectors of the state run planned economy.

Naturally these events must be seen in the context of the
enormous defeat that the destruction of the Soviet Union (under
Stalinist leadership) has had as and impact on historical events
and for poor and working-class people.

However this new treachery by the Chinese Stalinists is not being
taken quietly!

There is strong evidence of angry mass resistance to the official
pro-capitalist policies.

Some of the strongest evidence is documented in the April issue of
the journal Dong Xiang, in an article titled "Peasant Rebellion
Spreads to Nine Provinces, Autonomous Regions"

The Dong Xiang article reports that between winter 1996 and
spring 1997, a number of riots, disturbances, and rebellions broke
out in the rural areas of 36 counties in nine provinces and
autonomous regions with the participation of nearly 380,000
peasants in demonstrations, parades, and petitioning.
The article cites example after example of massive protests
involving tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of
workers or peasants at a time, often confronting Chinese
bureaucratic authorities of police forces.

This extensive evidence from the April issue of the journal Dong
Xiang shows that there is sizeable and active resistance to the
Chinese Stalinist bureaucracy's attempts to take the road of
capitalist counter-revolution.And latest reports, this week,
coming in from China are that these rebellions and protests are growing
despite massive repression by the Stalinists!


In fact, the Chinese revolution historically is less then fifty years old
and there are millions of ties and roots of struggle, and, in fact,
great gains (despite the Stalinists) that came out of World War
Two.  Despite the Chinese revolution being deformed from its
inception, collectivized property forms and, not least, land reform
and a central planned economy were great gains which took China
to being the third and now perhaps second "superpower" in the
world.

This connected to the relative young age of the Chinese
Revolution could mean that capitalist counter-revolution will not
take the course of the now dead Soviet Union ... but to a civil war
and perhaps political revolution!

As for the now-dead western "Maoist" groups who these days are
organizing demonstrations with liberal and right-wing groups under
the cover of "human rights"around the world connected  to at best
trying to say that China is already capitalist and  even "fascist" as
they once did the Soviet Union ... these groups have deserted the
Chinese workers and peasants who show that they are not as
willing to hand over the Chinese revolution to the class enemy as
these once "oh so radical" western Maoists now do in both word
and action. They in fact are the agents of despair and are
backhandely supporting the call for the destruction of the deformed
Chinese workers state!

Unlike these fake leftist cretins who now have deserted the
Chinese Workers and Peasants ... the history of Chinese
Bolshevism will be found in the works of the Chinese Trotskyists
like P'eng Shu-tse and others.

For our radio public I suggest the book "The Chinese Communist
Party in Power" by P'eng Shu-tse.

What is lacking in China is a Bolshevik/Leninist party which can
lead these rebelling Chinese masses in a political revolution to
oust these Stalinist traitors and turn China into a beacon of
proletarian Internationalism and hope for our common future.

And, like the Chinese workers and peasants, Bolshevik/Leninists
will defend the gains of the deformed Chinese revolution and fight
not only for a political revolution in China but social revolutions
throughout the region!
