Mao Zedong (also known as Mao Tse-tung) is regarded as one of the
most controversial figures in modern world history. Having
conquered the country, he ruled the People's Republic of China from
its establishment as a Communist state in 1949 until the time of
his death in 1976. Brilliant and ruthless, his legacy includes
guerrilla warfare tactics, violent cultural revolutions, and
enduring Communist propaganda. He was named one of the 100 most
influential figures of the 20th century by "Time Magazine."
Eric Margolis of the "Huffington Post" writes of Chairman Mao:
" "Mao was an accomplished poet, writer and historian, a profound
thinker, and a superb military strategist. He crushed the US-backed
Nationalist's 4.3-million strong armies in a series of titanic
battles, forcing his rival, Chiang Kai-shek, to flee to Taiwan...
The Great Helmsman united fractured, war-torn China, restoring its
pride and self-confidence after two centuries of humiliation. Mao
thwarted both Soviet and U.S. efforts to turn China into a client
state, and built up China's military power... Mao's aides dared not
tell him millions were starving. Red Emperor Mao was prodigal with
his people's lives, and, according to aides who were close to him,
was shockingly indifferent to their suffering. Mao horrified even
brutal Soviet leaders by saying he was prepared to lose half his
people to emerge victorious from a nuclear war...""

Above all, Marxists regard man's activity in production as the
most fundamental practical activity, the determinant of all his
other activities. Man's knowledge depends mainly on his activity in
material production, through which he comes gradually to understand
the phenomena, the properties and the laws of nature, and the
relations between himself and nature; and through his activity in
production he also gradually comes to understand, in varying
degrees, certain relations that exist between man and man. None of
this knowledge can be acquired apart from activity in production.
In a classless society every person, as a member of society, joins
in common effort with the other members, enters into definite
relations of production with them and engages in production to meet
man's material needs. In all class societies, the members of the
different social classes also enter, in different ways, into
definite relations of production and engage in production to meet
their material needs. This is the primary source from which human
knowledge develops.
