  • Anarchism in the Chinese Revolution Was Also a Radical Educational Institution Modeled After Socialist 1991 36 for This Information, See Ibid., 58
    only by rephrasing earlier problems in a new discourse that is unmistakably modern in its premises and sensibilities; even where the answers are old, the questions that produced them have been phrased in the problematic of a new historical situation. The problem was especially acute for the first generation of intellec- Anarchism in the Chinese tuals to become conscious of this new historical situation, who, Revolution as products of a received ethos, had to remake themselves in the very process of reconstituting the problematic of Chinese thought. Anarchism, as we shall see, was a product of this situation. The answers it offered to this new problematic were not just social Arif Dirlik and political but sought to confront in novel ways its demands in their existential totality. At the same time, especially in the case of the first generation of anarchists, these answers were couched in a moral language that rephrased received ethical concepts in a new discourse of modernity. Although this new intellectual problematique is not to be reduced to the problem of national consciousness, that problem was important in its formulation, in two ways. First, essential to the new problematic is the question of China’s place in the world and its relationship to the past, which found expression most concretely in problems created by the new national consciousness. Second, national consciousness raised questions about social relationships, ultimately at the level of the relationship between the individual and society, which were to provide the framework for, and in some ways also contained, the redefinition of even existential questions.

  • Anarchism in the Chinese Revolution
    the only proper object of revolutionary discourse. In doing so, anarchists opened up a perspective on revolution that was foreclosed by the political and suppressed even in the think- ing of revolutionaries, who insisted on a social revolution but could not conceive of the social apart from the political tasks Anarchism in the Chinese of revolution. To affirm the fundamental significance of anar- Revolution chism in revolutionary discourse is not to privilege anarchism per se, but to reaffirm the indispensability of an antipolitical conception of society in raising fundamental questions about the nature of domination and oppression, which are otherwise Arif Dirlik excluded from both the analysis of ideology and historical anal- ysis in general. In declaring politics—all politics, including rev- olutionary politics—to be inimical to the cause of an authen- tic social revolution, anarchists pointed to the politicization of the social as an ideological closure that not only disguised the fact that revolutionary hegemony itself presupposed a struc- ture of authority that contradicted its own goals, but also cov- ered up areas of social oppression that were not immediately visible in the realm of politics (the family and gender oppres- sion were their primary concerns). More fundamental anar- chists explained that the revolutionary urge to restore politi- cal order was a consequence of the naturalization of politics— the inability, therefore, to imagine society without politics—as one of the most deeply ingrained ideological habits that per- petuated relations of domination in society. The explanation moved them past the realm of ideology to the realm of social discourses as the location for habits of authority and submis- sion that sustained both political and social oppression.

  • 5. Seizing the Power of Ideological “Interpretation”
    5. Seizing the Power of Ideological “Interpretation” Materials I. What Did Mao Learn from Stalin’s History of the CPSU? Four years of concerted efforts from 1935 to 1938, Copyrighted with many complications and temporary setbacks along the way,: finally brought Mao on a triumphant march toward realizing his political ideals. By the end of 1938, Mao had control of the Party and thePress Communist armed forces firmly within his grasp, but one matter continued to rankle him—he had yet to seize the power of ideological interpretation. The power of interpretation—theUniversity power to define terminology— is one of the greatest powers available to human beings. Within the Communist Party, the power of interpretation was especially important; whoever was empoweredChinese to interpret the classic texts of Marxism- Leninism controlled the Party’s consciousness. In other words, control over the militaryThe and the Party had to be sustained through the power of ideological interpretation. The importance of interpretation lay not only in the content and the meaning of words and expressions, but even more importantly in integrating these terms with reality, and in the role these terms and concepts played in social existence. Under the long-term management by the Soviet faction, Russified concepts had shrouded the Party in a special spiritual climate and a richly pro-Soviet atmosphere that seriously hindered innovation. In this environment, Wang Ming, Zhang Wentian, and the others in the Soviet faction not only rose to the top but also complacently presented themselves as the bearers of the Holy Grail and lorded themselves over others as the great masters and defenders of the faith, dismissing all innovative thinking as heterodoxy to be eliminated 198 | HOW THE RED SUN ROSE at first instance.
