「群眾」和「黨」：中國革命話語進入佔領運動論述

“The Masses” and the”Party”: Can We Theorize the Occupy Movement through China's Revolutionary Discourse?

項飈在〈直面香港：群眾運動中的民主訴求與政黨政治〉一文中嘗試統整性地思考雨傘運動、香港治理危機、一國兩制和中國共產黨領導權的關係，並在分析中貫徹了對「群眾」與「政黨政治」的認識，以理解發生於香港的佔領運動與中國政治格局之創新可能的聯繫。然而，他對雨傘運動、香港政治生態以及香港社會的經驗性事實的掌握不足，加上圍繞89運動和黨的領導權變遷的敘事企圖，以致未能意識到中國革命歷史與革命話語籠罩下對「群眾」的理解和想像，與現實香港佔領運動與運動的參與者有諸多差異。本文將圍繞這一差異，對文章的觀點和理論設想，提出若干批評和反思。

In his article “Understanding Hong Kong: Democracy and Party Politics in Popular Movements”, Xiang Biao considers the overall relationship between the Umbrella Movement, the governance crisis in Hong Kong, the “one country, two systems” approach, and the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, and uses the theory of “the masses” and “party politics” from China's socialist revolutionary discourse to understand why the movement happened in Hong Kong and what possible innovations it could bring to China's politics. This essay argues that, however, Xiang's attempt rendered his analysis too PRC-centric, for instance he heavily draws on the experiences of the 1989 Tian'anmen Movement in predicting the development of the Umbrella movement, and takes changes in CCP as the central cause of various developments. As a result, he fails to recognize that his appropriation of the notion of “the masses” in China's revolutionary discourse is removed from the Hong Kong reality. I will focus on these differences and put forward some critiques and reflections on his article's basic ideas.
