Mao Zedong’s vision of a revolutionary movement

A revolution is something usually assumed to be an event where a personality pursues to overthrow a given radical order and swap it with his or her own. After critically reading and analyzing the three articles, it is clear that Mao Zedong had the intention of overthrowing the reign of Kuomintang by establishing a new political order that believed in Communism. Zedong’s political rule was to be under the control of the Chinese Communist Party. Mao Zedong had a unique vision of a revolutionary movement. He believed that support from masses and violence were the most necessary aspects for him to achieve a peaceful socialist political order. However, he faced one critical challenge in his bid to achieve this. Mao had difficulties with establishing a strong military force that could support his vision. He also wanted to prevent the Chinese armed forces from becoming too powerful. Mao’ had fascinating concerns. In most of his arguments, he always aimed at illustrating that political powers cannot be conquered without the use of force. Mao Zedong believed that political supremacy becomes a reality as a result military force. In his quest for a revolution, Mao Zedong also believed that the party was a factor in achieving a peaceful revolution. During his pursuit of a revolution, Mao hoped that his movement would eventually transform China into an inspiration for Communism. However, decades later, many see that it had an opposite effect because it led to China’s embrace of capitalism. Even after his death, the Communist party still wanted to carry on with his vision of the revolutionary movement. However, the government was too strong for such attempts to overthrowing it.
