Mao Zedong
Mao Zedong, also transliterated as Mao Tse-tung, and commonly referred to as Chairman Mao, was a Chinese Communist revolutionary, guerrilla warfare strategist, Marxist political philosopher, and leader of the Chinese Revolution. He was the architect and founding father of the People's Republic of China (PRC) from its establishment in 1949, and held control over the nation until his death in 1976. His theoretical contribution to Marxism–Leninism, along with his military strategies and brand of policies, are collectively known as Maoism. Mao rose to power by commanding the Long March, forming a Second United Front with Kuomintang (KMT) during the Second Sino-Japanese War to repel a Japanese invasion, and later led the Communist Party of China (CPC) to victory against Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's KMT in the Chinese Civil War. Mao established political and military control over most of the territory formerly contained within the Chinese Empire and launched a campaign to suppress counterrevolutionaries. He sent the Communist People's Liberation Army into Xinjiang and Tibet but was unable to oust the remnants of the Nationalist Party from Taiwan. He enacted sweeping land reform by using violence and terror to overthrow landlords before seizing their large estates and dividing the land into people's communes. The Communist Party's final victory came after decades of turmoil in China, which included the Great Depression, a brutal invasion by Japan and a protracted civil war. Mao's Communist Party ultimately achieved a measure of stability in China, though Mao's efforts to close China to trade and market commerce, and eradicate traditional Chinese culture, have been largely rejected by his successors. Mao styled himself "The Great Helmsman" and supporters continue to contend that he was responsible for some positive changes which came to China during his three decade rule. These included doubling the school population, providing universal housing, abolishing unemployment and inflation, increasing health care access, and dramatically raising life expectancy. A cult of personality grew up around Mao, and community dissent was not permitted. His Communist Party still rules in mainland China, retains control of media and education there and officially celebrates his legacy. As a result, Mao is still officially held in high regard by many Chinese as a great political strategist, military mastermind, and savior of the nation. Maoists promote his role as a theorist, statesman, poet, and visionary, and anti-revisionists continue to defend most of his policies.

This essay on philosophy was written by Comrade Mao Tse-tung after his essay "On Practice" and with the same object of overcoming the serious error of dogmatist thinking to be found in the Party at the time. Originally delivered as lectures at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political College in Yenan, it was revised by the author on its inclusion in his Selected Works.
These early philosophical writings underpinned the Chinese revolutions, and their clarion calls to insurrection remain some of the most stirring of all time. Drawing on a dizzying array of references from contemporary culture and politics, Žižek’s firecracker commentary reaches unsettling conclusions about the place of Mao’s thought in the revolutionary canon.
This compilation contains the most crucial philosophical writings of Mao Zedong. It is a good collection to study after first reading the "Five Golden Rays" in order to understand the importance of practice and solving contradiction.
Eleven years before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and ten months into the Japanese invasion of China, Mao's discussion of protracted war provides fascinating historical insights through an original source document discussing the "War of Resistance".

Hangzhou. The city on the lake. Sister city to Suzhou in the ancient Chinese "In the sky there is Heaven. On Earth are Suzhou and Hangzhou." In China, the city of Hangzhou occupies its own special place in the country's history and culture. Among the Chinese people, Hangzhou persists to the present day as one of the nation’s most cherished cities and among its most popular tourist destinations. As the southern terminus of the Grand Canal, it was a capital city of imperial China for 150 years. Home to a million people at a time when London and Paris each barely reached 80,000, it was described by Marco Polo as “the greatest city which may be found in this world”. Home of scholars, painters, poets, and playwrights. Centuries-long source of fabulous Chinese silks and one of the nation’s finest teas. Birthplace of celebrated romance legends and operas. A city of temples and pagodas, but also of churches and mosques. By the mid-15th-Century, Hangzhou was truly an earthly paradise. The city and its West Lake are inextricably bound to one another in physical fact, historical evolution, and poetic imagination, like Paris with the Seine, London with the Thames, or Venice with its canals. When we speak of Hangzhou, we speak of many scenic beauty, cultural mythology, Buddhist temples and pagodas, classical poems and paintings, traditional literati culture, historical events, and famous persons from emperors to military and revolutionary heroes to extraordinary individuals from all walks of life. Until now, no single book in the English language introduces the city in a comprehensive way. With a keen eye for the pageant of history and a masterful gift of storytelling, Stephen L. Koss provides key cultural context in explaining why Hangzhou is so much more than a pretty body of water surrounded by rolling, verdant hills and ancient pagodas. If you have not experienced Hangzhou, you have not experienced China. Stephen L. Koss is the author of Beautiful A Social and Cultural History of Suzhou, China.
This article was written as a reply to the carping criticisms both inside and outside the Party then being leveled at the peasants' revolutionary struggle. Comrade Mao Tse-tung spent thirty-two days in Hunan Province making an investigation and wrote this report in order to answer these criticisms. The Right opportunists in the Party, headed by Chen Tu-hsiu, would not accept his views and stuck to their own wrong ideas. Their chief error was that. frightened by the reactionary trend in the Kuomintang, they dared not support the great revolutionary struggles of the peasants which had erupted or were erupting. To appease the Kuomintang, they preferred to desert the peasantry, the chief ally in the revolution, and thus left the working class and the Communist Party isolated and without help. It was mainly because it was able to exploit this weakness within the Communist Party that the Kuomintang dared to betray the revolution, launch its "party purge" and make war on the people in the summer of 1917
Selected Works of Mao Tse-Tung, Volume II focuses on the thoughts of Mao Tse-Tung on revolution, communism, war tactics, national unity, and patriotism.

The publication also takes a look at the situation and tasks in the anti-Japanese war following the fall of Shanghai and Taiyuan, including the opposition to class capitulationism and the relation between class and national capitulationism.

Considerations include types and conditions for establishing base areas and expansion of base areas. The text also ponders on the role of the Chinese Communist Party in the national war, as well as patriotism and internationalism, party discipline and democracy, and expansion of the communist party and prevention of infiltration by enemy agents. The volume is a dependable source of data for readers interested in the philosophy of Mao Tse-Tung on communism, war, revolution, and patriotism.
New and annotated translations of philosophical essays written by Mao Zedong in 1937, which have come to be regarded as a cornerstone in the development of Chinese Marxism. The editor analyzes their textual, philosophical and historical significance.
No se puede construir lo nuevo sin destruir lo viejo; no se puede abrir camino a lo nuevo sin cerrar el camino a lo viejo, ni hacer progresar lo nuevo sin detener lo viejo. La nueva cultura y las culturas reaccionarias están enfrentadas en una lucha a muerte. El verdadero amor de la humanidad nacerá cuando en todo el mundo hayan sido eliminadas las clases. Las clases han dividido la sociedad en muchos grupos antagónicos; después de la eliminación de las clases, existirá el amor de toda la humanidad, pero no existe en este momento. No podemos amar a nuestros enemigos ni a los males sociales; nuestro propósito es eliminar a unos y otros. Esto es de sentido común; ¿es posible que todavía no lo comprendan algunos de nuestros artistas y literatos?
