The quote is from "Mao's General's Remember Korea" page 69.

Based on context I assume we can place it between the Yalu river and Unsan

 

From Peng Dehuai's Autobiography he mentions on the 19th of October 1950 during the first campaign of the Korean War he reached the power station at "Raekosao," does anyone know what city he is referring to? Im unable to find anything by the name "Raeksoao" so if anyone has a better understanding of korean geography or language do you happen to know where this (city?) is or what a more accurate pinyin romanization would be to find out more about this location?

I bought "Maos Generals Remember Korea" if I find it in that book I will update this post

 

Hello all, I'm listening to s3 of the Blowback Podcast and I ran into a great quote from a 6th company 357th regiment red army soldier in a message to his commander, it goes "I cannot wait any longer. I am unable to endure the new hatred piled on old. My mother was hounded by the landlord, my father worked as a farm laborer for the landlord until his death, I pastored the landlord's pigs since I was twelve, I had been whipped and abused until I was 16 when I was drafted for military service. Isn't it the American devils who supported Chiang Kai-Shek so that we, the working people, lived in misery and suffered disasters? After our liberation, can we watch the Korean people suffer the same fate without lending them a hand? The poor all over the world belong to one family. I am requesting to go to the Korean Front and kill American devils." The quote is relayed at episode 7 "Mao's Poem" around 22:10 and it goes so fucking hard I really want to know if its possible to find online or in print? I would just love to find a link to the quote itself if possible thanks comrades :)

Could you elaborate on what you mean?

Bruce Cummings "the korean war." He was recommended on the blowback podcast, however there is a nauseating amount of framing issues inherent even in this supposed reframing of the conflict. If you can identify the propaganda and framing techniques he utilizes to try and disparage the North, ie calling it a regime without any fucking explanation, you can at least get some decent nuggets of information. Still can't recommend it over Gowan's Patriots Traitors and Empires however.

Well in the context of the original post the satire of Trotskysim is in his belief that revolution is pointless and destined to fail until the civilizing European revolution occurred. In this case, diverting funds to a European newspaper is exactly the satire of trotsky's ridiculous theory of prioritizing the European revolution.
