The Taiwan National Question and the Tasks of the Taiwanese Marxists "... As Marxist we refuse to take sides in what, from the point of view of workers and the poor, is a false dichotomy; a choice between two reactionary camps - US imperialism on one side and China on the other - neither of which offer a real way forward. On a capitalist basis, the Taiwanese national question can only be "solved" in an extremely reactionary way. Its genuine resolution cannot in fact be separated from the perspectives for a revolution in China and East Asia... The struggle against Taiwanese capitalism cannot be separated from the struggle against Taiwanese nationalism, which no longer plays any progressive role for the Taiwanese masses, and is an active fetter to the liberation of the Taiwanese proletariat... The struggle for socialism in Taiwan cannot be disconnected from the struggle for socialism in China. And this can only be done through an active struggle against Taiwanese nationalism. That is why the primary slogan of the Taiwanese marxists must be No to US imperialism! No to Taiwanese nationalism! The main enemy is at home! No to unification with China on a capitalist basis! For a democratic socialist Taiwan within a socialist federation of East Asia!" -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
