The first generation of PLA leadership have some wacky ass stories.
>Marshal He Long was a member of the Tujia ethnic group. Born in Sangzhi, Hunan, he and his siblings, including He Ying, grew up in a poor peasant household, despite his father being a minor Qing military officer. His father was a member of the Gelaohui (Elder Brother Society), a secret society of cultist rebels dating back to the early Qing dynasty. A cowherd during his youth, he received no formal education. When He was 20 he stabbed to death a local government tax assessor who had killed his uncle for defaulting on his taxes. He then fled and became an outlaw, giving rise to the legend that he began his revolutionary career with just two kitchen knives. After beginning his life as an outlaw he gained a reputation as a "Robin Hood-like figure" amongst a string of villages. His signature weapon was a butcher knife.

    >In 1938, while he was still leading Chinese forces in Shanxi, Japanese soldiers who had joined the Communists and were serving under Lin Biao's command presented Lin with a Japanese uniform and katana, which they had captured in battle. Lin then put the uniform and katana on, jumped onto a horse, and rode away from the army. While riding, Lin was spotted alone by a sharpshooter in Yan's army. The soldier was surprised to see a Japanese officer riding a horse in the desolate hills alone. He took aim at Lin and severely injured him. The bullet grazed Lin's head, penetrating deep enough to leave a permanent impression on his skull. After being shot in the head, Lin fell from his horse and injured his back.

      >After being recalled to Yan'an, Marshal Peng was subjected to a political indoctrination campaign in which he was criticized as an "empiricist" for his good relations with the Comintern and survived professionally only through an unconditional conversion to Mao's leadership. Mao ordered Peng to be criticized for 40 days for the "failings" of the Hundred Regiments Campaign that Peng had led against the Japanese (even though Mao had supported it and later praised its successes). Peng was not allowed to reply and was forced to make a self-criticism. Privately, Peng loathed Mao's criticism of him, and in 1959 once told Mao: "At Yan'an, i fricked your mother for forty days."

            You forgot killing their own environment. The Yangtze River literally was a self-cleaning river at one point. The place where the Three Gorges Dan is used to experience multiple floods time to time, but that is it. But now they built that dam and all dams will break at one point and wgen it does you will get one biblical flood to wipe out a good portion of China and entire cities.

            No sane person or bureaucracy would let this shit happen. Even the US government tells corporations and other gays to frick off when things too dangerous and don't aim to repeat it like that one time a town got flooded with barbed wire and mud killing all its residents.

      The more I learn about the CCP, the more I suspect this, yes. I've even started to question long held truths like "China invented paper and gunpowder". They just lie so damn much, about all matters, present, future, past. How can I trust anything coming out of China when I know how much they lie?

    >Major General Marshall Chairman Ho Lee Fuk of the 299th Mechanized Staircase Battalion malfunctioned and devoured 10,000 traitors to the People’s Republic of China. 14 minutes after his massacre began he was finally calmed down by his maintenance staff. While he no longer serves as an escalator, Ho Lee Fuk was awarded with a comfortable position serving as a staircase in China’s second-most prestigious empty mall.

          your point being?
          Doesn’t this make b***hing about Muh K:D irrelevant? Why would sociopathic Maoist bug people care about the casualties they suffer at all?

            Why would a sociopathic Maoist bug person care so much about people talking shit about his great heroes on an anonymous Tibetan basket-weaving forum? The world is a mystery.

              but i am not a maoist, anon. i believe maoism to be one of the most moronic and destructive ideologies to ever exist.
              that does not stop me from mocking the US military with all its overwhelming industrialization getting cheated out of half a country by an army of starving Chinese light infantry with one rusty old Mosin for every two men.
              As shitty as the Red Chinese policies were, they did end up attracting the best military talent of Warlord-era China.

        conventially ignores that even the chinese data for the battle places chinese losses far above allied losses. it's absolutely higher then they say it is, too.

    Reminder that Deng Xiaoping declined to become a Marshal, but still managed to become the Paramount Leader of China who opened up China to the West, despite only being Chairman of Central Military Commission.

    EVERYONE in China's first generation of modern politics was wacky. It was a time when modern ideologies mixed in with trad Chinese politics and its hero-culture tendencies with everyone wanting to be the next Confucius or Three Kingdoms heroes.

    These gays did the Warlord Period after all.

    Any good books or documentaries if I want more of these bugmen chronicles? The wackiness of these tyrant regimes and it's authoritarian members is fascinating to me. Especially, when it devolves into pure incompetence just because of the culture they engender. Doesn't have to specifically bug men, can be vatniks, voodoos, Banana Republics, etc. Personally been on a Stasi and Gulag kick, myself.

    Since Anon's here seem to be knowledgeable about China, I'm interested in learning things about the CCP. The process of joining, their youth organizations, their ranks and organization. There seems to be very little information in English, especially since this is a 100 million strong organization.
    I'd love to get some pointers or recommended books.

        I'm sure glowies have enough Chinese Speakers to get their information in Chinese instead of needing it translated.
        None of the things I asked about are particularly secret either. I assume they already know the organization of the second largest political party in the world.

          The current CCP is pretty much organized like a giant corporation/military.

          The "classic" way to rise is as follows: You take a prerequired entry test to join the party bureaucracy, measuring problem solving, critical thinking, knowledge in chinese culture/history, this test has a 2-3% pass rate.

          You then start at the bottom in a local government and get promotions based on performance reviews from you superiors / economic growth / spending / satisfaction surveys in the locality you're the head of. You then have an extremely slim chance of being promoted to a central government position if you do very well in a few of these local positions.

          The "alternate way" is get directly catapulted to the top if by proving your leadership skills in non political positions (business, science, tech, military, etc., explains why there a lot of engineers in senior positions) of course in practice a lot also depends on connections.

      Otherwise anyone (as long as they are chinese by blood) can join the party, it just means that you can vote on certain internal topics and get to participate to meetings that non party members don't have access to
