    The Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party is confident that the Kuomintang will hold high the banner of Sun Yat-sen in the great struggle for liberation from imperialism, that the Kuomintang will succeed with honour in carrying this banner to complete victory over imperialism and its agents in China.

    It is said that the Chinese Communists should withdraw from the Kuomintang. That would be wrong, comrades. The withdrawal of the Chinese Communists from the Kuomintang at the present time would be a profound mistake

    Does this mean anything to you? As you know the KMT slaughter of communists came shortly after he urged them to stay.

      What I’m seeing here is that the USSR as a whole decided to make it their official position to advise against Chinese communists giving up on the effort to co-opt the Kuomintang as a movement/organization, and you’re saying that somehow equates to Joseph Stalin personally doing harm to the Chinese communist revolution. I can’t think of anything I could possibly say to discredit you that would do a better job than this, thank you.

        Stalin pushed the KMT, Trotsky pushed against it. As the two factions battled for control of the USSR I think your takeaway is disingenuous and shows not just a distain for Marxism but for dialectics as a whole.
