One of Mao’s contributions to Marxism was the proposition that class struggle still continues to exist in socialist society, thus advancing our understanding of the dictatorship of the proletariat. Lenin didn’t live long enough to consider a lot of the problems of building socialism in a non-wartime context. Stalin tended to argue that class struggle was not a part of Soviet life after the period of agricultural collectivization. As a result, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union under his leadership had the tendency to explain away anti-socialist forces as the creations of foreign agents and spies. In 1957, Mao pointed out, “The class struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, the class struggle between the various political forces, and the class struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeois in the ideological field will still be long and tortuous and at times very sharp.” This formulation was developed in response to two very important incidents, the anti-communist uprising in Hungary and the trend towards bourgeois liberalization which arose during the “Hundred Flowers” campaign in China. As Mao’s comments on both these situations have relevance today, it is worth taking a look at what he had to say about them. On Hungary, Mao argued that the Hungarian communist party had not done a good job of handling contradictions among the people and as a result there was some mass discontent. This enabled domestic reactionaries in collusion with imperialism to take advantage of the situation and launch an uprising. Mao welcomed the suppression of the rebellion. According to one leader of the Hungarian rebellion, Chinese leader Zhao Enlai, who was in Eastern Europe at the time, pushed for Soviet intervention and “demanded blood.” Mao made many points on the struggle against liberalization during the “Hundred Flowers” campaign and subsequent anti-rightist movement which are particularly relevant to the struggle going on in China today. The name of the campaign is drawn from the slogan, “Let a hundred flowers bloom, let a hundred schools of thought contend.” [. . .] Mao noted that criteria were needed to “distinguish fragrant flowers from poisonous weeds.” The six criteria that Mao advanced are almost identical to the four cardinal principles – the socialist road, the dictatorship of the proletariat, the leadership of the Communist Party, and Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought – which many in the [1989] student movement attacked. Mao states, “Of these six criteria, the most important are the two about the socialist path and the leadership of the Party.”

Libya is one of the main North African departure points for migrants risking the perilous journey across the Mediterranean sea to reach Europe. Amnesty said both the United Nations-recognised government and its rival eastern-based administration have been carrying out crackdowns on migrants and fuelling anti-migrant sentiment with "xenophobic and racist statements".

Now it's just me, my brother, and my father. We can't find the food and medicine I need because I suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which causes me to have difficulty breathing and choke in the middle of the night. Please donate; we need $450 to buy the necessary medication. I don't want what happened to my mother to happen to me. Please donate. 😭😭💔
