Maoism |
Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.01 sec. |
MaoismForm of communism based on the ideas and teachings of the Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong. It involves an adaptation of Marxism to suit conditions in China and apportions a much greater role to agriculture and the peasantry in the building of socialism, thus effectively bypassing the capitalist (industrial) stage envisaged by Marx. In addition, Maoism stresses ideological, as well as economic, transformation, based on regular contact between party members and the general population. How to thank TFD for its existence?

For an earlier treatment see David Kelly and Bill Brugger, Chinese Marxism in the Post Mao Era (Stanford University Press, 1991), ch. Kulp does a fine job of recreating the often irrational passions of the time and struggles manfully with the ideological and terminological problems which haunt the scholar of Chinese Marxism, but one major element is missing from her analysis: in the stress on political systems she has little to say about military issues. Yet, in his Li Dazhao and the Origins of Chinese Marxism Maurice Meisner makes no mention of him. |
