Today in Labor History May 29, 1881: Chinese educator, nationalist revolutionary and anarchist Li Shizeng was born. He led the anarchist Jinde Hui group (Society for Progress and Virtue), with Wu Zhihui, & Zhang Ji. He also tried unsuccessfully to turn the Guomindang into an anarchist organization. Indeed, he is known as one of the four anti-Communist elders of the Chinese Nationalist Party. In his youth, he earned graduate degrees in chemistry and biology in France, and opened the first European tofu factory. It was there that he learned about anarchism which, upon his return to China, he would help make a major force among Chinese radicals.

🔹 So in Mao's (early) time. One contradiction is China's feudalist society, where the masses, the farmers, are opposed to the bourgeois class, the landowners. However, after losing the first Sino-Japanese war, there is also a contradiction between Chinese nationalism and Japanese imperialism. In this case, Mao argues that the principle contradiction is "against imperialism", and that the feudalist contradiction becomes secondary. Hence, Mao said that the communist party should form a coalition with the Kuomintang (Chinese nationalist party), against the Japanese (during the second Sino-Japanese war).

🔹So to recap: the Chinese communists are against the Kuomintang, but this contradiction becomes secondary when Japan invades China, then the communists and the Kuomintang are united in the principle contradiction against imperialism.
