Mao, the unknown story, by Jung Chang

Hello lemmygrad friends!

On discussing China with a friend, he took a beautiful copy of the book in the title as support for "but the Chinese revolution actually prosecuted people", or something. The usual.

Challenge is now I have 700 pages to read, apparently about how Mao bad, China bad, communism bad.

To my questions: anyone out there knows about this book? Anything I should know while reading it? Anything worthwhile to expect about the book?

Thnak you in advance!

Inspired by the Michael Parenti collection I made this podcast for articles from marxists.org

Available on plain rss https://anchor.fm/s/e8b6108c/podcast/rss too

Also, please send me suggestions for articles I should add there, because I have no idea how to approach curation of that library.

Any other feedback is appreciated.

Edit: I just found this https://lemmygrad.ml/post/6319. Looks excellent! I'll work on getting it through.

Edit 2: and then I'll probably come this way: https://dessalines.github.io/essays/dessalines_marxism_study_plan.html

Edit 3: I'll also play with the order, because it feels like a good idea to mix introductions for multiple subjects, so that it feels a little less repetitive. Even though... can't do much about the dryness of AI speech.

João Carvalho nesse podcast de negócios que traz comunistas com uma boa frequência

Eu gosto porque dá material pra gente que seja acessível pra quem tá fora da bolha. Acho que esse pessoal do kritikê faz um trabalho honesto, em linhas gerais, num nicho mais suave do que o Eduardo Moreira.

Afinal, Jones Manoel, embora genial, não é imediatamente acessível pra parte da classe trabalhadora que passou a vida inteira modelando sua visão de mundo em termos de mérito e negócios.

Q vcs acham dessa personalidade?

E tem esse livro que ele escreveu no hospital: O Que os Donos do Poder Não Querem Que Você Saiba.

Acho o título brega mas talvez tenha uma análise interessante, dessa visão que ele tinha durante essa transição?

E confesso que gosto de ver entrevista de revolucionário em canal de liberal. Geralmente é material introdutório bom pra passar pros amigos. :)

dm_·Dialectical-Materialism: Theory and Applicationbynephs

What if we used this community for prompts for dialectical materialist analysis?

For random stuff, possibly even fictional, and the people come up with a short dialectical materialist analysis, as a common exercise for everyone?

I would propose a prompt, in r/WritingPrompts style, but I don't really know what could be interesting topics on the matter. I would just love to see your analytic skills, and possibly pick it up on how you are doing it. :)

Maybe I got a prompt: What's the value of this idea? Did I miss the point of dialectical materialist analysis?
