This struggle has captured the imagination of significant layers of radicalised youth across China and key groups of workers looking to organise themselves and fight for their interests.

The student supporters have in some cases also had to struggle against their school authorities and parents (underlining how the patriarchal bourgeois family unit can be used as a tool of state control).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-7832455886409659143gmail-p1\"><span class=\"m_-7832455886409659143gmail-s1\">The CCP regime has reacted to the Jasic struggle in characteristic fashion, with a sweeping crackdown aimed in equal measure against worker activists and against the young \u2018Maoist\u2019 supporters. This crackdown was clearly sanctioned at national level, rather than being a province-level police operation as some of the young activists initially believed.<span class=\"m_-7832455886409659143gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-7832455886409659143gmail-p1\"><span class=\"m_-7832455886409659143gmail-s1\">Left-wing websites were raided and closed, temporarily, but as a warning to pipe down, while arrests were also made in Beijing and other cities.

This in no way colours our attitude towards groups of workers and youth in struggle as is the case in Jasic, which in our opinion is a magnificent example for the working class as a whole. The first duty of revolutionary socialists is to support and intervene in the actual struggles of the working class, to strive to assist the workers practically and politically to build their own organisations, to formulate their demands, propose concrete new steps for the struggle and win support from the wider working class. All of this is essential for victory. In the conditions of China, of state repression against the working class and the outlawing of real trade unions and workers\u2019 self-organisation, this is likely to be a long and arduous struggle.<span class=\"m_-7832455886409659143gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-7832455886409659143gmail-p1\"><span class=\"m_-7832455886409659143gmail-s1\">We reject the criticisms from a certain NGO-linked layer and from some so-called lefts in China, who accuse the\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"m_-7832455886409659143gmail-s3\">young Maoists<\/span><span class=\"m_-7832455886409659143gmail-s1\">\u00a0of \u201chi jacking\u201d the workers\u2019 struggle, of making it \u201ctoo political\u201d and of \u201cseeking confrontation\u201d at the expense of the workers\u2019 immediate struggle against sweatshop conditions.

They have sung revolutionary songs in the arrest cells to keep up morale, harangued the cops for not being communists, but most importantly they have gone public through social media, immediately, at every opportunity, to expose the repression and shame the authorities. This in our opinion is a great example, when other earlier victims of repression have been scared into silence. Rather than the young activists \u201cradicalising\u201d and \u201cpoliticising\u201d the struggle, as the critics argue, it has been the brutal response of the state that has done this. The worker and youth activists have responded to this brutality in the the best way they possibly could. This is the inevitable logic of the class struggle under the increasingly repressive rule of Xi Jinping.<span class=\"m_-7832455886409659143gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Raised consciousness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-7832455886409659143gmail-p1\"><span class=\"m_-7832455886409659143gmail-s1\">As Karl Marx said, \u201cevery step of real movement is more important than a dozen programmes\u201d.

The struggle is being repressed. But this is the beginning of a long battle \u2013 such is the reality of the class struggle in Chinese conditions. It will require a truly mass movement, with workers linking across many parts of the country, to force change on an issue which is seen as fundamental to the interests of the capitalists and the state to block.
