Hey comrades, this is an article I’ve written in response to DashRendar’s essay on Maoism, which you can find here: https://dashthered.medium.com/yo-dawg-the-maoists-have-a-point-9024983ee56a

Consider this the “full” version of a response I made here on Lemmygrad just a few days ago. I realised that I had way too much to say to fit into a well-formatted post here, so I made an account on Medium and wrote an entire article instead :D Hope you comrades enjoy.

    Beautiful articles are really beneficial communication.

    However, I would like to correct some points in your article: Deng’s reform did not improve the lives of Chinese farmers at that time. On the contrary, it was the industrial and agricultural scissors that supported industry and economic construction by squeezing the countryside. I am not saying that this is wrong. Developing countries need to use the industrial and agricultural scissors to complete the accumulation of raw capital in the initial stage of economic development, but farmers did endure a long, poor and hard life. Until Jiang’s term, it was pointed out that the poverty problem of farmers and rural areas must be solved. During Hu’s tenure, China abolished the agricultural tax. Last year, Xi announced that all rural areas in China had been lifted out of poverty. This is the result of decades of socialist overall arrangement, not what Deng’s reform easily achieved. I use the translator to reply. If there is any mistake, please don’t mind.
