Mao Zedong is one of the greatest political figures of the 20th century. This is proven by the fact that Mao’s ideas are popular not only in China. His statements long ago became slogans of a left-radical movement throughout the world. It’s enough to remember that in 1968 in Paris and in Washington, rebellious students chanted slogans from Mao’s works while fighting on barricades. And even today there are still many admirers of the “Great Helmsman.”
So what is it that attracts people to Mao Zedong’s ideas? How did he see the Future of the world? What paths of development did he propose? That is discussed in his main works collected in “The Little Red Booklet.”
