Re: [Marxism] PRC: The Left of the CPC critiques capitalist restorationists

[Walter Lippmann <walterlx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In China, not only do they speak the Chinese language,
but they speak in the language of the Chinese political
culture. If they want to communicate with the people in
China, who belong to the CCP, or are part of discussions
and debates within THAT organization, they have to speak
in ITS language. Sometimes such conversations don't tell
everything on their minds. In politics that's not always
the wisest thing to do. It may conceal, it may reveal,
but politics doesn't always consist of saying everything
at all times. That's what obsession with "programmatic
clarity" is, but it's not politics, it's perfectionism.

If you want to communicate with someone, you must speak
the language that they understand, and speak to them in
that language.

Of course if you think that there are no politics going
on in China, only betrayal, by everyone, at every point
and in all ways, then, of course, it make no difference
what anyone says since everyone is always saying the
same thing.
