When it comes to the People’s Commune, some people sneer at it, saying it is a symbol of “backwardness” and a “failure of the planned economy”. It seems that the People’s Commune is a historical joke and has no meaning at all. But is it really so? I do not think so. Think carefully, have the “modernisation” and “marketisation” that are advocated today really made people happy? Are the problems of rural desolation, rural hollowing out, and capital’s crazy plunder of resources solved by the so-called “market efficiency”? Definitely not.
