Reason for failure: 1. Objectively speaking, the counter-revolutionary forces greatly exceed the revolutionary forces; The serious vacillation of the bourgeoisie and the sharp division of the United front are due to the fact that Chiang Kai-shek Group and Wang Jingwei Group were successively pulled into the counter-revolutionary camp by imperialist forces, the landlord class and the comprador bourgeoisie. Second, subjectively, the leading organs of the CPC Central Committee in China made the right opportunism mistake represented by Chen Duxiu in the late period of the Great Revolution, and gave up the leadership of the proletariat over the peasant masses, the urban petty bourgeoisie and the national bourgeoisie, especially over the armed forces. At that time, the * * * production party in China was still in its infancy and had no experience in United front, armed struggle and party building. It doesn't know much about China's historical and social conditions, the characteristics and laws of China's revolution, and is not good at combining the basic principles of Marxism-Leninism with the practice of China's revolution. * * * Production International did not understand the specific situation of China, and gave some unrealistic instructions to the China Revolution, which affected the decision-making of China * * * Production Party on many issues and the implementation of relevant principles and policies.
