Originally given as a lecture at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political College in Yenan, and later developed into an essay, On Practice was published in 1937 in order to expose the subjectivist errors of dogmatism and empiricism within the Chinese Communist Party. Considered a classic, must-read text in Marxist circles today, it is unfortunate that many organizers misunderstand or overlook the key points provided by Mao Zedong. We hope to correct this issue with our 3-part series to dissect these fundamental points from the text. 

It's important to note that Mao developed the key lessons of this essay from on-the-ground struggles in the Chinese Revolution. Additionally, these key lessons were also developed in discussions with another prominent philosopher from the Chinese Revolution, Ài Sīqí, who helped spread the ideas of dialectical materialism within Chinese society. 

To break down this important essay, we are joined by a member of the Maoist Communist Union (MCU) who uses this piece for their internal studies to politically develop its cadre and, most importantly, to understand how knowledge is obtained and put into practice, to follow the path of correct ideas and to avoid the subjectivist errors of dogmatism and empiricism in the US today.

Multipolarity has been a popular term on the US Left in the past few years. What is it? Why is it becoming popular, particularly within the US Left? This episode breaks down the actual meaning of Multipolarity and its revisionist definition, and we show how multipolarity is actually not anti-imperialism.

This was a collaborative production with the podcast, Against Japanism. Be sure to follow them on Twitter and Instagram for updates.

Allyn Rickett was arrested in China shortly after the 1949 revolution for espionage. He then underwent a process of criticism, self-criticism for the next four years. This amazing story of transformation is documented in his book who he wrote with his wife, Adele, who was also arrested. The book is titled, Prisoners of Liberation.
(Note: We cleaned up the audio a bit and re-uploaded the interview here so it can be easily accessible.)

From the MIM website:
In 1995, MIM and 14 other organizations brought Allyn Rickett to the University of Massachusetts for the first Prison Awareness Week. He spoke on his experience in revolutionary China where the government used study, self-criticism and labor to rehabilitate its enemies. After his lecture, this interview was conducted by the Undercurrents Program on WMUA 91.1FM.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or LDS, is a powerful institution in the mid-west and west coast of the U.S. How did it start? Why even address it? If any of us are serious about changing society in North America, then understanding this reactionary institution is an absolute. To help up dissect this institution and its history, Comrade Ciarán joins the podcast from Salt Lake City who has a lifetime experience interacting with the LDS and its influence.
