Stalinist Golden Center: Difference between revisions

When Khrushchev took power after the death of Stalin, Mao upheld Stalin's line and the [[Sino-Soviet Split]] occurred in light of the condemnation of Stalin and the rejection of Stalin's ''own'' rejection of deviationism. Thus, the [[China|People's Republic of China (PRC)]] became the determinative inheritor of Stalin's legacy in this sense, which Xi Jinping still upholds today. Of course, there has been development since the times of Stalin and Mao, but the grounding of oneself (or a Party) in a pragmatic politics imbued with dialectical materialist thought remains the bedrock of Lenin, Stalin, and Mao's "Golden Center" path of '''''anti-deviationism''''' and rational dialectical pragmatism. In fact, Chinese slogans such as "do not encourage, do not discourage" embody the essence of the Golden Center, and China's many parties working towards the same aims and for the same masses reflect the strengths of the path of governance Stalin greatly helped to forge.  

<blockquote> "But if we uphold the slogan of a fight on two fronts, does this mean that we are proclaiming the necessity of Centrism in our Party? What does a fight on two fronts mean? Is this not Centrism? You know that that is exactly how the Trotskyists depict matters: there are the "Lefts," that is, "we," the Trotskyists, the "real Leninists"; there are the "Rights," that is, all the rest; and, lastly, there are the "Centrists," who vacillate between the "Lefts" and the Rights. Can that be considered a correct view of our Party? Obviously not. Only people who have become confused in all their concepts and who have long ago broken with Marxism can say that. It can be said only by people who fail to see and to understand the difference in principle between the Social-Democratic party of the pre-war period, which was the party of a bloc of proletarian and petty-bourgeois interests, and the Communist Party, which is the monolithic party of the revolutionary proletariat.
