Fanshen: Class, Women's Liberation and Crit-Self-Crit

The anti-revisionist gang breaks down and discusses some important ideas from the incredible book written by William Hinton, Fanshen: A Documentary of Revolution in a Chinese Village, published in 1966. The book covers the Chinese Revolution in the village of Long Bow between 1946-1948. Full of extraordinary stories, theoretical depth and historical experiences of the Chinese people in their struggle against oppression.

We broke down this nearly 700-page book into 7 topics of which we believe are useful in the context of the US and our class struggle here.
