Mao Tse TungMao Tse TungFew people in history deserve sole credit for changing the fate of an entire nation. One of them is Mao Tse-tung, the man who rose from the peasantry to become the pre-eminent revolutionary theorist, political leader and statesman of Communist China (CNN, 2001). Mao Tse Tung was born on December 1893 in a village of Shaoshan in Hunan Province (Chinas south). His family is wealthy peasant farmers. He has one sister and two younger brothers. Mao lives with his mothers family in a neighboring village until he is eight. He then returns to Shaoshan to begin his education. When he was 10 he ran away from school. Due to expulsion from school three times, his father refuses to pay fees for his education. At the age of 14 Mao married with an 18 years old cousin of his called Lou, but he never lived with her long because she died at the very young age in 1910. Mao is allowed to resume his schooling. At age 16, and against his fathers wishes, he leaves Shaoshan and enrolls in a nearby higher primary school (Wise, 2007). It is during this period that his political consciousness begins to develop. (Wise, 2007). It is during this period that his political consciousness begins to develop. In this essay I will be discussing Mao Tse Tung idea & thinking.
In 1937, Japanese invasion forced the CCP & Kuomintang once again to form united front, Mao rise in stature as a national leader as the communist gained the authority as defender of the Chinese homeland. Within this period through his publication in 1937 of such essays as “On Contradiction” and “On Practice,” he was the military thinker he is acknowledged as an important Marxist thinker. “On New Democracy” (1940) outlined a exceptional national form of Marxism appropriate to China; his “Talks at the Yen-ad Forum on Literature and Art” (1942) provided a basis for party control over cultural associations (Chen, 2001).
The Japanese invasion during W.W.11, forced the CCP and the Kuomintang to form a united front. Mao Tse-tung rose in stature as a national leader. Under Mao Tse-tung, the Chinese Communist Party membership rose from 40,000 members in 1937 to 1,200,000 members in 1945. After the end of W.W.11, the united front split and civil war erupted. The Chinese Communist Party came to power and Chiangs government was forced to flee to Taiwan. When the United States rebuffed Mao Tse-tung, China developed a close alliance with the USSR. During the early 1950s, Mao Tse-tung served as chairman of the Communist party, chief of state, and chairman of the military commission. (Hooker, 1996).
. Mao also includes “NEW DEMOCRACY” as his theory Democracy” as “democratic centralism.” Democratic centralism is a core of dictatorship—”a dictatorship of all revolutionary classes,” in Maos words—power would be concentrated in the hands of a few in order to guarantee that all class interests are represented. In 1949 when Mao came to authority over mainland china he renamed the New Democracy to the Peoples Democratic Dictatorship. It was done to assured reactionary counter-revolutionary voices would not have a say in government or have the ability to sway the opinions of the people.

The concept has been defined as the absolute power to decide a political system. So what, exactly, does democratic centralism look like? What about the basic democratic values within the revolutionary proletariat? Democracy ” Democracy ” and how it will be characterized has been, and continues to be defined. Here ъ—бевиз has a clear picture. Let’s first look at the core of democracy ъ— as given above. It appears that at the end of the 19th century, in order to win political power, democratic centralism had to be abandoned. A number of major revolutionary events occurred, such as the first world war the October Revolution. ъ— ъвЂ: In the midst of a civil war between socialist and communist parties in 1936 the British and French governments created one of the most powerful and powerful democratic centralisms that ever made its way into history*. ъ—бевиз is one of only some communist countries to ever have implemented the socialist-communist programme. ъвЂ> Democracy ”. Since the mid 1920s-early 1930s most communists and socialists in many countries have remained loyal to capitalist imperialism and for one common goal– the state as the great capitalist resource of the world. ъвЂ: ъ†is so important for the Communist party that in the United States and globally the term “socialist country” is used. ъвЂ: ъ†means: as a state. ъвЂ. That’s the reason why it would be more efficient to introduce the socialist programme in the United States over the past century and a half. ъвЂ: ъ†is also what is called a “syndrome of the global proletariat” ъвЂ; and this explains why it is so influential for most of the world to support an imperialist foreign policy. ъвЂ: ъ†is the only country that will defend the interests and interests of all national and peoples alike. ъвЂ: A major part of that means that the country can always be defended by a party of the various countries fighting for freedom, equality, and democratic development. ъвЂ:
