    listening to Spence on the chinese revolutionary wars now i can't keep track of what's going on. it is a complete clusterfuck. chiang is flitting between leftists, the KMT has its own factions, lenin and trotsky are trying to control everything and fighting one another

        one thing that is striking to me is the extent to which the governing structures of china had been so completely degraded that almost surely you would expect something very bad to happen absolute disaster even before the fighting started, massive fragmentation

        another thing is the extent to which communists actually seem to believe the letter of marxism communists are actually setting strategy partly based on marx's Grand Theory of Societies and Revolutions rather than just being opportunistic

        this seems risible in retrospect like, do any communists today actually believe that there's some kind of mass proletariat that (i) likes them and (ii) is going to rise up and seize the american government? but apparently early 20C communists were high on their own supply wild

        @simonbchen tweets about this all the time. I can't keep it straight at all, but it is fascinating.

        The KMT was to the left of the communists on land reform during the entire pre 1946 period, but especially during the anti bandit campaigns of 1933-1937. You need to read Frederick Wakeman on this.

        did the CCP even do any land reform? (I know nothing) but I know the KMT seized all land above a certain size and redistributed willy nilly upon arrival in TW tho that was less principle and more about buying allegiance and declawing existing BSR power
