>> Ironically, given that China is a communist country, workers’ rights movements and unions are extremely uncommon > mind-boggling. The CCP feels threatened by any kind of idependent political organization that's not the CCP or directly under its thumb. This includes students that actually take Marxism seriously: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/28/world/asia/china-maoists-xi-protests.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/28/world/asia/china-maoists-... https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/11/world/asia/china-student-activists.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/11/world/asia/china-student-... https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/28/world/asia/chinese-university-crackdown-students.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/28/world/asia/chinese-univer... https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/21/world/asia/china-marxist-students.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/21/world/asia/china-marxist-...

Yeah, kind of interesting phenomenon. It is now the left of the party that is being marginalised, and they actually are the ones who are more active on Internets: banyuetan, CYL journals, utopia, caogen... The party is now busy purging CYL. The few CPC candidates that came through that route to CPC were driven out of politics, down to village mayor levels in the middle of nowheres. 刘剑 kicked from a post in a far away Hami, 余远辉 in Nanning 19th CPC really has close to no people younger than fifty, and is the oldest CPC by average age after 12th or 13th CPC.
