Read Mao the Unknown story or red China today
They are my favourite books
The little red book comes a close second
@Mao Zedong what's inspiring about them?
Sure they're idealistic at best
@Deleted User
But the dream of communism is impossible
You'd have to alter the very human brain on a mass scale at a genetic level
The only society communism would work in is a robotic society devoid of individualism
Have you read them
Or do you not know what you are talking about
The book is different than the practice
As many say
Good on paper
Bad in practice
It is the history
I don’t care about individualism
It doesn’t matter
It was inspiring how he became ruler of China from the son of a peasant
He was kicked out of the party but brought his way back
Out of all the members Stalin saw him as the only person fit to lead
The long march saved the communist party and although it caused devastating losses without it they would have died and also it helped cement Mao as leader
Wasn't that guy chosen by Stalin mainly because he was easily manipulated? Or was it someone else
Because I don't feel like Stalin just installs a new leader just because he is a good leader
No
Mao manipulated Stalin
Stalin was a crafty bastard
He was clever and got Stalin to support him even when the party didn’t
He didn’t install him he just supported
@Mao Zedong what the hell?
What about the sino-soviet split
That was latrr
Stalin cut ties
Later
You don’t know
Technological cooperation and military and economic assistance ended then
Russia was a superpower there is no way that Stalin didn't have the power to install mao as the leader
He didn’t install
He supported
You people need to learn
Explain how he supported
