British communists wish China a happy birthday

Xinhua News Agency tells us of a celebration held by the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) in London for the 59th anniversary of The People's Republic of China. The party's head Harpal Brar was quoted as saying "China has achieved the basic human rights. It's a living example of socialism". This is also the first time we've heard of the "Hands off China" campaign organised by the British commies to support China against the perceived China-bashing in the western media in the run-up to the Olympics.

you know, real communists should really be condemning China for deviating from the true Marxist-Leninist ways...

Hmmm.... unusual indeed.

Marxist/Leninist and Maoist roads finally split at the Red Concile in Moscow 1960, with the Chinese delegation condemning Nikita Khrushchev's not-so-stalinist ways. Core speech held by Deng Xiao Ping...

British Communists just need any excuse to 'keep the kettle on' another year.
