 Richardson: Reviews - Origins of Chinese Communism
As opposed to the first healthy instincts of the founders of Chinese Marxism, “decisions concerning the revolution were made for them by others, who claimed political superiority because they commanded theoretical superiority” (p.98), leading to “rocky relations” (p.197) and mutual mistrust (p.267).
Having awakened Chinese Marxism, the Comintern, first of all of Zinoviev, and then of Stalin, stifled it, and a real examination of China in the light of a critical analysis had to wait until after the defeat of 1927, when it was too late to have a positive effect.
As the author of this study so succinctly states it, “ideological cliches replaced a burgeoning Marxist inquiry into Chinese society that would not be revived seriously until it became evident in the later 1920s that the revolutionary strategy based on those cliches had failed” (p.l4).

 Dimensions of Chinese Anarchism: An Interview with Arif Dirlik
You describe the Chinese anarchists as both subjects and objects &endash; products and shapers &endash; of the larger revolutionary process in China, and your book traces the dialectic between the anarchists and this process.
There may be Taoist elements in it, there may be Buddhist elements in it, there may even &endash; through Tolstoy &endash; be Christian elements in it: nevertheless, my concern was with the new ideas that anarchism brought into the Chinese intellectual scene, chief among them this idea of a social revolution.
If you recall the parts in the book about Liu Shipei - and here the differences between anarchists become really important &endash; there's a feeling that nationalism opens up new questions that prepare the ground for anarchism, if you like, but also created new kinds of threats.
