 RRojas Databank: The Róbinson Rojas Archive.-Chinese marxism. Routledge
Typical of the Maoist form of Chinese Marxism is the position that 'masses' refers primarily to the peasantry, a source of important raw data.
Chinese Marxists extended the analogy of the individual's acquisition of knowledge to the mass line or to the leadership style required by democratic centralism.
Hu's thesis was that it is acceptable to incorporate humanism into Chinese Marxism when the term stands simply for routine ethical considerations, such as being kind to an elderly or sick person, but it is not permissible to treat it as a theory of history or as something generating a serious standard.

Chinese authocrats and Western intellectuals will make apologies for China by claiming that Chinese thought, far removed as it is from Western philosophy and religion, lacks a concept of scientific and technological hubris, and therefore lacks sufficient grounds for resisting the Western concept of exploiting nature.

 CHAPTER VII
The victory of Marxism is due to the fact that the Chinese communists combined Marxism tactically with Chinese social and revolutionary practice; they made of Marxism an ideological weapon against feudalism and imperialism, leading thereby to the founding of New China.
On the one hand, Marxism became the spiritual main-stay or guiding principle of all action and played the dominant role in the New China; on the other hand, Marxism was confronted with a series of new problems, among which how to build China into a modern socialist country was the most important.
For a proper wedding of Marxism and Chinese culture it is necessary to analyze and study traditional Chinese culture scientifically and objectively form the standpoint of Marxism, which process is itself a work of combination.

 Humanism as the Theme of Chinese Modernity
To wit, humanism is, to Chinese scholars, merely one of the themes of the twentieth century, and a theme that was brought forth after the appearance of the Enlightenment and modernity in China.
The Chinese Enlightenment in the 1980s is a wide and complicated social trend of thought, including in the theme of "Enlightenment" various dissimilar factors of thought with the common target of criticizing the existing socialism.

 What Is To Be Undone - Chapter Ten
For the Chinese such passages are not abstract philosophical rhetoric but rather a useful outlook that "teaches us primarily how to observe and analyze the movement of opposites in different things, and on the basis of such analysis, to indicate the methods for resolving contradictions," and thus for changing real situations in desirable ways.
We who are engaged in the Chinese revolution should not only understand the particularity of these contradictions in their totality, that is, in their interconnections, but should also study the two aspects of each contradiction as the only means of understanding the totality.
Chinese strategy also diverges: the two things we wish most to discuss are the questions of organization and leadership, and the question of the links between revolutionary means and revolutionary ends.

The May Fourth Movement was, of course, a `Cultural Revolution', and whilst noting that Meisner sees `populism' as a salient feature of Chinese `Marxism' from Li Dazhao to Mao, the writer drops the significant hint that `some have blamed the "Anti Party" activities of the Cultural Revolution upon Anarchism' (p271).
As opposed to the first healthy instincts of the founders of Chinese Marxism, `decisions concerning the revolution were made for them by others, who claimed political superiority because they commanded theoretical superiority' (p98), leading to `rocky relations' (p197) and mutual mistrust (p267).
Having awakened Chinese Marxism, the Comintern, first of all of Zinoviev, and then of Stalin, stifled it, and a real examination of China in the light of a critical analysis had to wait until after the defeat of 1927, when it was too late to have a positive effect.

 Chinese Marxism and Its Challengers, by Richard J. Smith
In discussing Chinese beliefs and values, as with all other realms of Chinese culture, we must constantly keep in mind variations that exist by virtue of differences in region, class, educational level, age and gender.
One reason is that, as in the past, Chinese nationalism proved to be an extremely effective device for providing a sense of solidarity in times of social unrest and political uncertainty.
From the standpoint of Chinese nationalists, the United States seems to be trying to divide China territorially, subvert it politically, contain it strategically, and frustrate it economically.

 Richardson: Reviews - Origins of Chinese Communism
The model constructed by the author begins with a loose network of circles of intellectuals with a diffuse and abstract Anarchist/populist ideology concerned mainly with problems of culture, whose limitations are painfully revealed in the defeat of the May Fourth Movement.
In the case of Mao Zedong the writer supports Scalapino’s analysis that the strongest influence on him in 1919 was Kropotkin, whose thought he described as “broader and more far-reaching” than that of “the party of Marx” (p.178), and which he continued to support until the end of 1920 (p.206).

Although Chinese Marxism--primarily represented by Maoism--is generally seen by Western intellectuals as monolithic, Liu Kang argues that its practices and projects are as diverse as those in Western Marxism, particularly in the area of aesthetics.
In this comparative study of European and Chinese Marxist traditions, Liu reveals the extent to which Chinese Marxists incorporate ideas about aesthetics and culture in their theories and practices.
Far from being secondary considerations in Chinese Marxism, aesthetics and culture are in fact principal concerns.

 Famous Maoists / Famous Adherents of Maoism / Followers of Mao
Although many people mistakenly think that Maoism was a purely Chinese movement, it actually was adopted by people throughout the world.
In 1981, the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party that Chairman Mao helped bring to power officially repudiated the brutality of Mao's Cultural Revolution, which resulted in the deaths of an estimated 30 million Chinese citizens.
Contemporary Chinese scholars generally believe that Mao did not originally intend to set himself up as an object of religious veneration, but that as he grew older either he or those around him utilized his power and status to tranform Maoism into something beyond Mao's original Marxist ideals.

I.M. Pei Light is the Key: Conversations with Gero Von Boehm by I. Pei, ISBN 3791321765 And Chinese Marxism by Adrian Chan, ISBN 0826450334
Drawing from a wide array of original sources, Adrian Chan produces a fascinating account of the evolution of Marxism in China.

Chan posits a tension between the proponents of the Marxian and the Scientific Marxist-Leninist versions of communism and challenges the received view that Chinese communism was a pale Soviet model contaminated by traditional Chinese ideas.

This controversial and extraordinary analysis confronts traditional scholarship of the West, which is still overshadowed by the Cold War, and that of China, which is burdened by party orthodoxy.

The book shows that all these Chinese political theories, not only Chinese Marxism, depend on a number of premises at odds with Western liberalism, especially epistemological optimism and an extravagantly optimistic concept of political practicability.
His study uniquely combines a deep understanding of the history of Chinese thought with a strong grasp of modern philosophical trends and an innovative methodology for the description and criticism of political theories.
It will be useful to students of modern Chinese intellectual history, of political philosophy, of political culture, of the comparative study of cultures, and of U.S.-Chinese relations.
