I found out my girlfriend has a Jiang Qing fan page and she keeps calling me a capitalist roader. I’ve been trying to explain the benefits of socialism with Chinese characteristics, but she just laughs at me and yells “REVISIONIST” anytime I bring it up.
What should I do?
Edit: thanks to those of you who took this seriously. Her parents are on vacation so she is heading to their house with a group of her French Maoist friends. We will see how our next conversation goes when she is back.
This isn’t a joke and it’s not funny. It’s breaking apart our relationship
if she understands how disastrous the sino-soviet split was, I’m confident you can reach an understanding and work things out
Mao contended that Deng Xiaoping was a capitalist roader and that the Soviet Union fell to capitalist roaders from within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union after the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953.
Well, he wasn’t entirely wrong. But if Khrushchev was a roader, then what does that make Mao? Out of the two, Mao’s china was supporting fascist, genocidal forces across the globe while the USSR was still backing communist forces.
