In this underrated text, written during the War of Resistance in mid-1938, Mao Zedong stood strong in the face of criticism from temporary allies, the Kuomintang, and analysed the political situation with incredible clarity and prescience, leading to ultimate victory against the imperialist Japanese invaders.
In this episode we discuss Mao's analysis, the contradictions in Chinese society at the time, how we can apply Mao's teachings to struggles in the present day and the contemporary People's Republic of China.
