 WWar Communism - The name given to very stern economic policies adopted by the Bolsheviks during the civil war and wars of intervention after the October Revolution. It subordinated economic life to the needs of the front, replaced by the NEP in 1921. Wei, Wang Chin - Kuomintang leader in China. During 1926-27 the policy of Stalin and Bukharin was to give uncritical support to leaders of Chinese national bourgeois revolution, at first Chiang Kai-shek, who was made honorary member of Comintern executive. Chinese Communists worked to build Kuomintang without criticising its leaders, even though Chiang had made strikes illegal and was disbanding unions and peasant leagues. Workers who had captured Shanghai from the warlords and imperialists in March 1927 were told to receive Chiang as a revolutionary leader; he then proceeded to murder Communists and trade unionists. Despite this, Stalin and Bukharin tried to continue the same policy, transferring support to the group of Kuomintang leaders around Wang Chin Wei in Wuhar - iwhich Stalin characterized as the "revolutionary centre". Almost as Stalin spoke, the Wuhan leaders came to terms with Chiang Kai-shek and started murdering worker-militants. Back to the Glossary of Marxist Terms
