Den kinesiske revolutionære socialist/trotskist Wang Fanxi dør i Leeds, England (født 16. marts 1907 i i Hangzhou (Hangchow) i det nordlige Kina.

  • Wang Fanxi (Wikipedia.org)
  • Wang Fanxi (Marxists Internet Archive). With two articles: Problems of Chinese Trotskyism (1948) + Foreword to Chen Duxiu’s Last Articles and Letters 1937-1942 (1988).

Mao Zedong Thought. By Fabian Van Onzen (Marx & Philosophy Review of Books, 13 September 2021). Review of Wang Fanxi’s book (Brill/Haymarket Books, 2020/2021, 326 p.). “The book – first published in Chinese in 1973 – offers some brilliant critical insights into the cult of personality, the influence of Confucianism on Chinese Marxism and Mao’s role in the Chinese Revolution, and is likely to become a classic in the near future.”  See also review by Sean Ledwith (Counterfire, What was Chinese Trotskyism?: Reflections on Wang Fanxi’s Mao Zedong Thought. By Promise Lee (Spectre, October 28, 2021) + To make sense of modern China, look to Mao Zedong’s long march to power. By Kap Seol (Jacobin, November 12, 2022)

Obituary: Wang Fanxi (1907-2002). By Gregor Benton and Pierre Rousset (International Viewpoint, 7 March 2003). “On December 30, 2002, the Chinese Trotskyist leader Wang Fanxi died of heart failure in Leeds, Britain, aged 95. Born in Xiashi near Hangzhou in 1907, he joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1925, abandoning his literature studies at Beijing University for the revolution. In 1931, he was expelled from the CCP and helped set up the Left Opposition …”

Wang Fanxi. By Gregor Benton (The Guardian, 21 April 2003). “In Britain, Wang influenced generations of Chinese students and he was revered by radical Chinese community leaders, who sought his advice on social equity and white racism.”

“Chinese Revolutionary”: Wang Fan-Hsi Memoirs 1919-1949. By Victor Osprey (International Viewpoint, 23 September 2013). Review of Wang Fan-hsi’s book (Oxford University Press, 1980, 282 p.)”… Wang Fan-Hsi, a leading militant of China’s Left Opposition, whose extraordinary life is recounted in this gripping memoir.”
See also review by Paul Le Blanc: Chinese Trotskyism reviewed (pdf) (Bulletin in Defense of Marxism, Issue 96, May 1992, p.33-34; online at Marxists Internet Archive). “Wang Fan-hsi, a veteran of chinese communism and one of the founders of Chinese Trotskyism, surveys the debate in the communist movement on strategy and tactics in the 1920s.” Scroll down.

Wang Fanxi – Chinese Trotskyist, 1907-2003. By Rob Sewell (In Defence of Marxism, 13 June 2005). “In January Wang Fanxi died in Leeds, England. He was one of the few remaining links to the early Chinese Trotskyist movement. It was after the defeat of the 1926 Chinese revolution that, together with hundreds of other members of the Chinese Communist Party, he began to question the policies of the leadership and joined Trotsky’s Left Opposition.”

Wang Fan-hsi. By Din Wong (Workers’ Liberty, 9 January, 2003). “For Wang, the collapse of Stalinism was a vindication of his opposition to both the theory and practice of Stalinism, first in the Soviet Union and then in China. It was Trotskyists like Wang who consistently came out against the degeneration of the Soviet state, against its bureaucratic dictatorship and who exposed as an illusion the Stalinist idea of ‘building socialism in one country’.”

A Chinese Marxist in the ’20s (pdf). By Wang Fan-hsi (Workers’ Liberty, No.12-13, August 1989, p.57). “I joined the Chinese Communist Party in 1925, at Hangchow in Chekiang province. Then I went to Peking and worked in that district. In 1926 I become a political commissar in the army.”

Trotskyism versus Stalinism in the Chines Revolution (pdf) (Workers’ Liberty, No.12-13, August 1989, p.58-65). “Wang Fan-hsi, a veteran of chinese communism and one of the founders of Chinese Trotskyism, surveys the debate in the communist movement on strategy and tactics in the 1920s.” Scroll down.

Foreword to Chen Duxiu’s Last Articles and Letters 1937-1942 [1988]. By Wang Fanxi (Marxists Internet Archive). “When Gregor Benton asked me to write a foreword to this collection of Chen Duxiu’s last articles and letters to introduce their author to Western readers, I felt duty-bound to accept, as Chen’s disciple, correspondent, and occasional critic.”

An interview: Wang Fan-hsi, his life, the Chinese Trotskyist movement and the Chinese revolution [1972] (Europe Solidaire Sans Frontiers, April 28, 2021). “The interview with the late Chinese Trotskyist Wang Fan-hsi was produced when Wataru Yakushiji, a member of the Japan Revolutionary Communist League (JRCL: Fourth-International group), visited Hong Kong and Macao in the summer of 1972.”

Problems of Chinese Trotskyism [1948]. By Wang Fanxi (Revolutionary History, Vol.2 No.4, Spring 1990; online at Marxists Internet Archive). “The inception of the Chinese Trotskyist movement dates back to 1928. There were serious divergences, political as well as theoretical, in its ranks almost from its very birth.”

It is an inspiring story of perseverance against unimaginable odds to keep alive a revolutionary tradition.”

China and Trotskyism: Marxist discussion on China, 1929-2017. Edited by By Paul Hampton (Workers Liberty, 2023, 48 p.). “These articles from the Trotskyist tradition about Maoist China provides a unique perspective that has long been buried. The Chinese Communist Party was an authentic workers’ party in the 1920s, until misguided by Stalinism and exterminated by the Guomindang. These leading communists became Trotskyists after the failed 1925-27 revolution.”
