In Chinese internet there are a lot of fake leftists called 网左. 网means internet,左means leftist. Well it doesn’t mean leftists who use the internet,it refers to a particular group. I have to tell you what they are in fact. 网左 are not leftists at all!They don’t know anything about Marxism,but they love to quote Marx,Lenin or other leaders’ article. They regard Mao’s Anthology as Bible,no matter who dares to question,网左 will tell him”You haven’t read Mao’s Anthology,you fuking rightist!”They deeply believe China is a Revisionism country,China is even worse than Capitalism countries(That’s because in Europe and America,people are richer),they think China is rich enough to let them live better than Europe and America. But now they are poorer than Western. If someone says”Mao’s century was poor”,he will be rightist too. They think they can represent the poorest people,everyday you can see then say”Kill all capitalists!”Without doubt The Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward were terrible mistakes,many of them support. They will tell you”Why China now says they were mistakes?Because today’s China is revisionism.They are even eager for the World War Ⅲ,they think they will have the opportunity to revolutionize! Why do they hate CPC so much?In fact they are almost all from middle class families. It’s just COSPLAY,they dress up like leftist.They know some political words like Communism,Marx etc. In order to show their political knowledge they do so. 灵活就业者 means people who have a job but pay social insurance by themselves instead of the company,China has 200 million 灵活就业者. 网左 believe they are unemployed,there are 200 million unemployed in China.I don’t know if they are stupid or bad,but I think everyone knows 200 million unemployed is terrible,how can they believe this? Just imagine,a 网左 tells a person who doesn’t care about politics:”Chairman Mao is the best,revisionist Deng Xiaoping is fuking trash.”He replies”hum I think Deng’s reform makes China rich,anyway 50 years ago was really poor.”网左 shouts in mad:”American people make 40000RMB per month and you make 6000RMB per month!As a leftist I have to say without Deng’s revisionism you can get 60000RMB per month!You are just a ret**d rightist!”The person doesn’t know that 网左 is not real leftist. Days later he tells his friend:”Leftists?So scaring!” As a real leftist from China,I really don’t hope this happens. But it happens everyday. Of course today’s China has problems,and China is trying to solve them.But even if there is no problem,网左 will make up problems to attack CPC.网左 are not comrades,they are enemies.

    I’ve met plenty of Chinese west-lovers who hate China and want praise from westerners for hating China, but i’ve never met any radical maoists. I’ve also never really met any dedicated Marxist-Leninist Chinese really.

    • You havent met any radical maoists because you don’t really use Chinese internet. I’ve said 网左 are just playing COSPLAY, playing COSPLAY online. If someone says “cultural revolution was the best” in real live I promise people around him will think he is a removed. Every day millions of CPC members working in poor areas, the living conditions are usually not good and they don’t have high wage. I know a 25-year-old teacher who volunteers to work in far rural in Sichuan for 2 years,he told me that he gets 1500RMB per month. I also have plan to be a teacher in certain poor place for years when being a college student(I am senior high school student now). Aren’t they dedicated?

        Yes, although i am in China there are subcultures i am not seeing due to language limitations, i have better Chinese than most foreigners but browsing weibo and such is a lot of effort and not relaxing. I want to see how nationalistic people have become too, Chinese people are generally too polite to foreigners so i cant tell if they secretly hate me or not.

        • Haha why worry about that?Of cource China has extreme nationalists but they can’t represent the whole China, anyway China has 1.4 billion people, there are even a big group of Reverse nationalists, they think it’s a shame to be Chinese and call us 支那人, just like ChingChong. Most Chinese are mild nationalists. hum I mean when a japanese tells them “I support the independence of Taiwan” people will reply him"I want Japan to be a province of China!" Most Chinese won’t hate a forigner for no reason.
