      @@DavBlc7 Honestly though I can kind of see why he'd think that'd solve anything because traditionality was the main cause why China couldn't modernize fast enough. He simply tried to fix what the previous imperial government lacked doing. I mean seriously how do you get rid of 200 years backward thinking? It's a sad thing that happened but inevitable though it was childish of him that changing someone's entire culture would somehow "fix" things.

    Fun fact: Many of his quotes were used nowadays not to endorse, but to criticize the current status and policies of China. The selected works of Mao had 5 volumes and vo.5, tho not banned, is not nearly as popular as the first 4 in China, mainly because it addressed his criticisms and warnings toward revisionism that he believed would happen to China in the future(which it did after he died). It is a must read if you wish to learn more about the Communist ideology, whether or not you are a Marxist.

    If you know the basics of Marxism-Leninism, it's actually quite a good introduction to Maoist theory. It was written to be read by peasants, so it doesn't use many advanced terms you'll see someone like Marx using, but instead makes heavy use of metaphors and examples.

      I 100 percent agree. While works like the Manifesto and Engels Prinicples of Communism are definitely important, they are definitely a difficult read for people new to communist theory. The little red book is something that most readers can pick up and understand almost immediately, as are a lot of Maos writings. Then you have das kapital, which is like the Simarillion of Marxism XD over 1000 pages long and difficult af to read.

    The most misunderstood statement is Mao’s “political power grows out the barrel of a gun”.
    He wasn’t talking about weapons or gun control, rather the gun refers to the Chinese army. Mao strongly disagreed with other Communists that the army should take orders from the government, rather he wanted them to be directly subordinate to the Communist Party. Otherwise he feared they would play kingmaker.

      @Miguel Correa the cultural revolution was a disaster because many innocent people were arrested or killed during those years, but you have to understand that it was popular in all over the world, at the beginning it had a strong public opinion basis, and sometimes you can never get justice with peaceful methods.

Even if capitalism has done terrible things we the citizens recognize it and try to improve.
