๐จ๐ณ | The last believed survivor of the โLong Marchโ during the Chinese Civil War celebrated her 105th birthday.
Her name is Wang Quanying, she joined the Red Army as a medic when she was only 14 years old.
Born into a Tibetan family in 1921, Sichuan province, she lost both parents by age one.โจโจ From age five, she was forced into harsh labor.
When the Red Army entered her hometown, Wang was attracted by their policy of protecting the poor and joined the Women's Independent Regiment.
The one-year-long march starting in 1934 under the leadership of Mao Zedong is viewed as one of the most daring military manoeuvres in modern history.โจโจ
The Chinese Communist Party defied all odds, including total defeat, by what is often described as sheer revolutionary willpower.โจโจ
Starting with about 100,000 people, only around 8,000 survivors eventually made it to their destination in Yan'an.
โจโจDuring battles with the Nationalist forces led by Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Quanying was cut off from her unit and went into hiding in 1936. Authorities verified her as a veteran in 1984.
western imperialism doesnโt serve the people it subjugates & destroys, it doesnโt benefit the people carrying out the violence and itโs doesnโt benefit the people living in the imperial core. it only benefits capital. itโs time to do away with empire & focus on ourselves
These people have far more in common with Kier Starmer than they do with the people of Lebanon, Palestine or Iran. They are actively trying to improve the working conditions of British people of the backs of the very people they claim to have so much in common with.
Nigel Farage is a racist. Keir Starmer is a racist. They represent the same rotting system, and use the same lies to cover up their attacks against the working class.
You will never be able to convince me that drag races, clubbing, raves, hookup culture, niche subcultures etc, are in some way reconcilable with Marxism. From a liberal perspective Marxism is โsocially conservativeโ, despite being against these things is actually revolutionary.
