by Bob Avakian June 26, 2023 Mao’s Contributions to Communist Theory and Human Emancipation Are Truly Profound—But the “Mass Line” Is Wrong The Chinese revolution, and in particular the revolutionary upsurge of the Cultural Revolution in China (a revolution within socialist society itself!) and the role of Mao Zedong as the leader of that Cultural Revolution, in the 1960s and into the early 1970s, had a major positive impact on masses of people around the world.
