This reading had a key quote that reminded me how starkly different Deng was compared to the current USA geriatric leadership:
> More young people should be promoted to positions of leadership. The present central leaders are rather advanced in years. Those who are a little over 60 are counted as young. They may be able to work for another 10 years, but 20 years from now they will be in their 80s, like me.
… It is essential for old people like us to stand aside, give newcomers a free hand and watch them mature. Old people should voluntarily offer younger ones their places and give them help from the sidelines, but never stand in their way. >>
It wouldn’t just be the French, would it? That means it has some NATO consensus?
They don’t view themselves as a vanguard party, nor do they feel there is one in the USA yet. Their approach is focused on being the “headlights for the masses” by focusing on using the Mass Line within working class and national liberation movements or mass orgs, taking their needs and using Marxist-Leninism to address the immediate needs and tie it to the larger strategic goals of uniting the working class and national liberation movements towards revolution.
They focus on identifying the “advanced” within the masses who are the masses chosen leaders within unions, labor movements, and national liberation movements to help implement the above to reach the “intermediate” (vast majority of these movements) while protecting against the backwards, reactionary, or opportunists who move these movements away from liberators and revolutionary potential.
Recruit those among the advanced into Cadre and empower them with the tools of Marxism-Leninism.
Making communists.
I dig it.
Clarifying - were they using US dollars before?
I love the irony of Obama and Biden ads on this video. lol
Sanctions the International Court of Justice.
The British also operated agents inside the Tudeh Party [pro-communist] and were involved in organising “false flag” attacks on mosques and public figures in the party’s name. CIA officer Richard Cottam later observed that the British “saw the opportunity and sent the people we had under our control into the streets to act as if they were Tudeh. They were more than just provocateurs, they were shock troops, who acted as if they were Tudeh people throwing rocks at mosques and priests.”
“You need to read at least five books to strengthen theoretical study. I recommend these five books to you: Communist Manifesto, “The Development of Socialism from Contopia to Science”, “Two Strategies of the Social Democratic Party in the Democratic Revolution”, “The Childish Disease of the Left” in the Communist Movement”, “The Communist Party (Bu) A concise course on the history of the party, here are all of Ma, En, Lie and Si. If 5,000 to 10,000 people read it and have a general understanding, it would be good and beneficial.” Mao Zedong’s Collected Works, Volume 3, Page 417)
