Legacy

Maoism (officially Mao Zedong thought) continues to be an influential current among Socialist movements.

New Democracy

Protracted People's War

People's War was described by Mao as the "revolutionary struggle of the vast majority of people against the exploiting classes and their state structures". This struggle would feature rural populations mobilizing against urban population centers through guerilla warfare, achieving victory via the country surrounding the cities.

Mass Line

The Mass Line is a development derived from the idea of the Vanguard Party by Vladimir Lenin. It can be summarized through the phrase "To the masses - from the masses - to the masses". This strategy entails the gathering of scattered ideas from the masses, developing those ideas into a codified strategy and relaying this plan back to the masses for its implementation. This cycle of learning and subsequently teaching the masses is intended to be an infinite loop.
