Society for Anglo-Chinese Understanding – SACU News

The Society for Anglo-Chinese Understanding is a friendship association of people in Britain toward China. It was founded on May 15, 1965, and in its early years it was sympathetic to the Chinese Revolution and socialism. Its early leaders included Dr. Joseph Needham and Professor Joan Robinson (who were both also involved, at the same time, with the China Policy Study Group).

The abrupt ending of the SACU News monthly magazine coincides with the start of the publication of China Now – copies of which we have not be able to access.

As SACU followed a very much ‘pro-China’ line during the course of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution the wishy-washy liberals, who had joined in the early years, drifted away only to return to take control of the organisation when the Chinese ‘capitalist-roaders’ took the country away from the construction of Socialism and towards the full scale restoration of capitalism.

The organisation still exists but seems to function more as a mouthpiece of the Chinese government in Britain and providing its members with official visits to capitalist China.

In the 1970s SACU was criticised for publicising the revolutionary, Socialist, developments of the People’s Republic of China when the country was attempting to improve the conditions for the vast majority of the population. Now it praises the erstwhile Socialist country for its capitalist (and imperialist) development.

32 years after his death the ‘capitalist-roaders’ ride on Mao’s back – Nanning, September 2008

More on China …..

The renegades, traitors and ‘capitalist-roaders’ within the Communist Party of China

Opposite the title page of my copy of the odious Trotsky’s so-called ‘biography’ of Comrade Stalin, entitled ‘Stalin – an appraisal of the man and his influence’, is a reproduction of a poster showing the members of the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party just after the victory of the 1917 October Revolution. Below that is a schematic giving their names – a number of whom I cannot remember hearing about before (and so indicating that they might have been on the CC but they were not necessarily that important in the construction of Socialism in the nascent Soviet Union).

At the bottom of the page is written;

‘Of the thirty-one members and alternate members of the October Central Committee, some of whose portraits appear above, only two were alive in 1946 – Stalin and Alexandra Kollontai.’

Now that’s just under thirty years. I don’t quite understand the point being made by the publisher of this version of Trotsky’s vitriolic attack upon Comrade Stalin.

And there’s no explanation about why they were no longer alive in 1946. For example, VI Lenin died prematurely because he was the victim of an assassination attempt, M Uritsky died of an assassin’s bullet, FE Dzerzhinsky (Iron Felix) died of heart failure after a major speech at a Central Committee meeting where he attacked the ‘United Opposition’ of Trotsky, Zinoviev and Kamanev.

The implication seems to be that there should be no change in the leadership of a Communist Party but the very same people who take an anti-Soviet stance would argue that some leaders of Communist parties stay in their positions of responsibility for longer than is healthy – which does have a certain validity but which is a debate for a different place.

A social revolution, and especially a Socialist Revolution, is a very complex thing. It has been so throughout history, is at present (in those few revolutionary movements still in existence) and will be in the future.

Individuals join a revolutionary movement for a myriad of reasons. Some are/will/might;

  • committed revolutionaries who hate the system of oppression and exploitation and have a perspective of a different future for the vast majority of the population
  • opportunists who think the train they have jumped on is the best for their self-advancement
  • downright spies and traitors planted by the ruling class in their attempt to prevent the inevitable
  • dilettantes who chose to join a revolutionary movement because other organisations don’t offer anything substantial but who don’t fundamentally accept what joining the movement actually means
  • just hangers on, who are ignorant of the consequences of their actions and can swing either way when the going gets tough
  • ideologically weak and crack when the pressure of the ruling class becomes too great
  • betray the movement when put under the slightest pressure
  • empty-headed and never thought of the consequences of what they had signed up to do
  • hate the present oppressive system but don’t realise that the only way to destroy it is to substitute the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie with the dictatorship of the proletariat
  • think a revolution is a game and don’t understand the implications of what Chairman Mao meant when he said ‘a revolution is not a dinner party’
  • a waste a space and a waste of time
  • intellectuals who think they know better and are astounded when the people don’t accept their sophistication and superior leadership
  • start off being honest but end up getting seduced by the power that a little learning provides them, thanks to their involvement in the movement but forgetting their background
  • forget their background (I hate the term ‘roots’, but that’s the general sense) and think they are better than the hoi poloi
  • think they have an innate right to be in positions of leadership and take umbrage when that’s challenged
  • like to criticise but don’t like to be criticised
  • don’t consider that self-criticism is an integral part of being a Marxist-Leninist revolutionary
  • think they don’t need to study to understand the theory of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and that they will learn from the process of osmosis
  • get tired and take the easy way out which often turns to a counter-revolutionary stance
  • get old and find that the revolution they thought about in their youth is not the revolution through which they are living
  • resent ‘unknowns’, strangers, new entrants and others who haven’t earned their positions taking over positions of responsibility as they represent the general momentum of the revolution
  • can’t keep up with the pace of change
  • challenged by youth who they see as being ignorant
  • try to take the easy way out
  • give up
  • run away
  • have doubts, about themselves and the reason for carrying on
  • courageous
  • cowards
  • lazy
  • liars
  • selfish
  • arrogant

But it’s the Revolution, that inanimate but also living organism, that is always in control.

Anyone who has been part of the Marxist-Leninist movement – in whatever country, in whatever epoch – since the formulation of Marxist theory in the middle of the 19th century will have encountered variations of the above. Indeed they will display some of those traits themselves, often ones that are contradictory.

This doesn’t mean that certain individuals might have been useful, even fundamental, to the revolution in the past but the fact is that a revolution is an uncontrollable force; it crushes some of those who were it’s darlings in the past but who become obstructionist in the present; some get left behind as the revolution has decided to take a different course from that expected; some get bitter about their lack of understanding of the radical changes in the revolutionary process; and those who were once friends of the revolution become its enemies as their own personal interests take precedence over the revolution itself.

The leader of the gang of renegades, traitors and ‘capitalist-roaders’ represented below is, without a shadow of a doubt, Liu Shaoqi (Liu Shao-chi) who showed his true colours in the early days of the People’s Republic. Perhaps one of Comrade Mao‘s greatest failings was not ridding the Party of this revisionist and ‘capitalist-roader’ sooner. It was around him, and under his influence, that the others were able to spread their poisonous line within the Party.

Liu must have had supporters in the highest levels of the Party, probably in the form of Zhou Enlai (Chou En-lai).
