Maoism
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maoism is the communist (a plan about how countries should work) idea created by the Chinese man Mao Zedong. Mao believed that peasants, not factory workers, should lead the communist revolution (violent change in government). He made China follow Maoism when he became leader, in 1949. This created differences with communism in the USSR and Cuba. Maoism is still practiced in China today, but it has become different since Mao died in 1976. Today the Chinese economy is capitalist (a plan about free markets) and the government does not allow people to criticize it.
