Re: [Marxism] Chinese peasant land ownership

[michael perelman <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A Marxist Chinese academic, who translated and published one of my books
and who was on PEN-L for a while, had been exiled to a job in the remote
hinterland because of his concern with the confiscation of peasant
lands.  He became so discouraged by this lawlessness that he thought
that he only hope that peasants had would be for a (de Soto) free market
in the countryside.  He wanted a Marxist solution but despaired of
anything like that with the greedy bastards who are presently running
the country.
