I’ll help urmums401k@hexbear.net out here. We can summarize the first quote as follows:
information coming from the provinces
eyewitnesses I won’t name
As for the rest, the CIA/MI6 possibly contributing (note: it would have happened either way - the material reasons why people went on general strike/took up arms would still be there) to the start of the uprising does not serve as evidence for much other than confirm the obvious fact “the USSR and NATO were geopolitical enemies”. It’s akin to saying China abandoned socialism by 1969 because of this, or that Lenin was a “german agent”.
Yes, the uprising in reality did not have a single coherent ideology: some were libs, while others (most) were workers with actual grievances against the bureaucracy, who were forming workers’ councils (e.g. Greater Budapest Workers’ Council) and demanding direct workers’ control of industries. Though note: none of the prominent participating organisations made any calls to return to capitalism, and the said workers’ councils were the only ones that persisted for months after the military intervention, until the leaders were all arrested. Even if we suppose that the initial leaders of the movement were sponsored by the West, that soon stopped being the case because the leading organisations obviously changed.
Mao, being a true adherent of Socialism in One Country, knew: there can only be one.
In contrast, I love Maoists and MLs so much, they never ever ever ever fail at any of the above.
the new user has sent a nonsense, probably accidental report on a post! All gather in the town square for the public execution
RCP can’t stop winning just because CPB keeps embarrassing themselves on their own
Maybe via the rest of lemmy?
