Left communism in China

Okay kiddo, so first we need to understand what communism means.

Communism is a political and economic system where everyone works together and shares everything equally. In theory, this means that there are no more rich people or poor people, and everyone has the same amount of stuff.

Now, Left communism is a branch of communism that believes in the idea of "pure communism." They think that communism should be completely free and equal, without any kind of government control or hierarchy.

In China, the Left Communist Party was formed in the 1920s. They were a group of people who believed that the Chinese Communist Party (which was led by Mao Zedong) was too focused on working with the government and not focused enough on pure communism.

The Left Communists wanted to overthrow the government and create a society where everyone worked together without any kind of leadership. They believed that this was the only way to truly achieve communism.

However, the Left Communist Party in China was eventually dissolved in the 1930s because they were seen as too radical and were causing problems for the Chinese Communist Party.

So, in summary, Left communism in China was a movement of people who believed that communism should be completely free and equal, without any government control. They wanted to overthrow the government and create a society where everyone worked together without any kind of leadership. However, this movement was eventually dissolved because it was seen as too radical and causing problems for the Chinese Communist Party.
