[–] davel@lemmy.ml 10 points 7 months ago* (2 children) The Kuomintang and certain aspects of S. Korea after WWII share a very similar backstory, did they do socialism? You would probably deny this. Fuck no they didn’t do socialism. They did fascism[1][2]. How is this detour even relevant?

However (and this very clearly isn't what he meant) under Dr Sun Yat-sen, the KMT wasn't fascist but a nebulous anti-imperialist bourgeois-centrist style formation: the New Three Principles allowed united front work because they objectively opposed feudalism and foreign domination. It wasn't until after Dr Sun's death, the internal KMT ideological struggle resolved in favor of the landlord-comprador wing, and fascism was then formalised under Chiang. permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (1 reply)
