China: From Hunger and Famine to Feeding Everyone










Dear John,



The Marxist Classes continue:



China: From Hunger and Famine to Feeding Everyone



In 2021 China announced the elimination of extreme poverty, a historic accomplishment of socialism. Speakers from China and the USA will discuss the conditions of old China before the victory of the revolution in 1949: destitution, illiteracy, and violence, as well as imperialist invasion and occupation. This will be followed by a discussion of today's successful poverty alleviation program and the role of the Chinese Communist Party. The class will end with Q&A and discussion.


Speakers will include Shen Ting, North American Bureau of the CPC International Department; Norman Markowitz, Rutgers University; and Luo Xiaoping, a sociologist from North China Electrical Power University.


Date: Sunday, September 26
Time: 8 PM Eastern, 7 PM Central, 5 PM Pacific
