Chronicle During Books Quotations from Chairman Mao Tsetung

More or less on impulse, we went on a short trip today to see the Musée Suisse du Jeu in La Tour-de-Peilz. The setting is extraordinarily charming: it's an old castle on the shore of Lake Léman, not far from Montreux.



Our excuse for visiting was a simultaneous Go exhibition being given by a German 3 Dan player. I hadn't played for a couple of years, so I asked for a three stone handicap and after many vicissitudes finally managed to win the game. The German guy was a good sport about it, considering that my position had been close to lost at one stage, and we spent a while chatting about Go-related trivia after the game.

He had a bunch of interesting anecdotes, the best of which related to the infamous Little Red Book. I already knew that Mao had been a keen Go player in his time. What I hadn't heard was that he apparently used Go metaphors and comparisons quite frequently. The translators had however all decided that a Western audience wasn't going to understand any of that stuff, so they chose to render them as chess terms instead. Since Go and chess are fundamentally different games, and many Go concepts have no chess counterpart, the result is often utterly nonsensical.

This seemed almost too good to be true, and I was amazed I'd never heard the story before... but he seemed very sure of his sources, and among other things claimed to speak decent Chinese. Can anyone confirm or deny it?

My exposure to the efficacy of Mao Zedong Thought came about in struggle with imperialist forces here, in Illinois, in 1969.Martin had an older brother who had insinuated himself into the U.S. Armed Forces to such an extent that he had become responsible for elements of their training. Part of that consisted of war games and he invited Martin, George, Ed and I to participate. Seeing this as an opportunity to obtain experience in guerilla warfare tactics, I jumped at the chance.Awakening to a red

To summarize it in one word: CRAP.Only a person with a minutiae of a brain could possibly appreciate this propagandic piece of gibberish and gobbledygook from a man responsible for the deaths of at least forty million Chinese.The author and this work can't be recycled, unfortunately. The pages can be used for toilet paper though.

GreatGreat thoughts and perspectives. Opens your mind to ways to think analyze and lead. Essential read to further dialectal materialism.

Reviewed on historical importance.Possibly the most-published and most-owned (if not the most-read) book in history, the 'little red book' of Mao is necessary reading for understanding Maoism and the roots of the contemporary PRC, however market-friendly it has become.The style is self-absorbed, with strong traces of the Chairman's messianism and megalomania shining through. In style - I can't tell because I know very little Mandarin and the English translation is poor. The content is entirely

Hard to review this thing because I read it casually over a long period of time. Some of the quotes expose the insanity and "true believer" nature of Maoism, but not many. In general these seem to be mild bromides which would be good advice to any aspiring political movement which is organized based on cadres, party lines, mass participation, etc. some of them are just good pieces of advice for running organizations in general. And then these are interspersed with anti imperialist statements and

Mao had a piss poor understanding of Marxist theory, he has a rigid and mechanical view of dialectics, he seems to think contradictions are something that MUST be solved, whereas as Amadeo Bordiga says in his essay "On the Dialectical Method": "The dialectic is not the sport of paradox; it asserts that a contradiction may contain a truth, not that every contradiction contains a truth". The dialectic is concerned most of all of the way history moves, something which Mao does not grasp. He
