      Goes to show that Communism and Nazism are really two different sides of the same coin. Hitler said similar stuff in his writings over the years (such as that longer term warfare by Germany or warfare between other nations encouraged by Germany were critical to building his ideal world).

      @@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.

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.

    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.

      Mao and other leades‘ address about Culture revolution. Going to countryside is to let not the intellectual break away from the worker-peasant class to let them serve the people well later. I dont know where you heard that it is to let them die of starvation. If so, there wont be president Xi Jinping, who went to the countryside during that time. However, the result of Culture revolution is beyond Mao’s imagination.
