Members of Chuǎng have been living in and travelling throughout mainland
China since the late 1980s. In addition to trying to understand the
dominant trends of capitalist development and struggles within mainland
society as a whole, we’ve also of course been on the lookout for people
who share political perspectives with our own. Over much of this
timespan, the results have been sparse. We’ve met a handful of
anarchists, but their interest in society has generally been limited to
informal conversations, the realm of art and its attendant subcultures,
and occasional acts of protest. We’ve also met a few remnants of the
Cultural Revolution’s “ultra-left” who either became liberals or
continue trying to justify their anti-state positions among more
mainstream Maoists by citing exceptional quotations from the Great
Helmsman, rather than examining the structures and struggles of the
present. But in recent years, this situation has undergone a subtle
change. The mainlanders from whom we’ve learned the most tend to be
involved in small groups that emerged from the strike wave of 2010, when
activists (mainly students and recent graduates, along with a few older
leftists) from cities throughout China “discovered the new working
class,” moved to sunbelt industrial districts and got jobs in factories
there.
