The Marxist Classes


China: From Hunger and Famine to Feeding Everyone










Dear John,



The Marxist Classes continue:



China: From Hunger and Famine to Feeding Everyone


This class is sponsored by the CPUSA's China Subcommittee of the Peace and Solidarity Commission and the National Education Commission.


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 Ning, 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
