Have you heard about the horrors of socialism under Mao’s China? The famines that killed millions? Did this really happened during the Great Leap Forward? If you’re interested in learning more, join Revolutionaire Eenheid in a group discussion about the topic on October 10th. We will investigate the truth on these common conceptions in order to reach a greater understanding about the period. Since the text we will discuss is lengthy, we ask you to read it prior to the event (link to article below). No other knowledge is necessary to attend!
This event is part of Revolutionaire Eenheid’s study sessions. To build on the last discussion on capitalism, we hope this study will deepen our understanding about revolutionary history.
When: 10 October 2017, 7PM
