THE ONLY CONSTANT IN MAO ZEDONG’S POLITICAL IDEOLOGY IS HIS SENSE OF JUSTICE

Abstract

The sense of justice in the Chinese people was the only factor that had never changed and would not change according to Mao’s ideology. He was always interested in what was right for China. As a starting point for this nationalism, Mao’s political philosophical ideology was not only interesting and weighty, but also proportionate in the real world. In these ideologies, Mao allows us to see and define the opposition of man and nature, private and public, old and new, East and West, and use them in a way that makes China a strong and powerful nation. After eight years of anti-Japanese war and three years of civil war, the CCP takes control, and from then on Mao Zedong becomes the country’s leader for the rest of his life. The Great Cultural Revolution, or simply the Cultural Revolution, took place in China from 1966 to 1976. It begins under the leadership of Mao Zedong, Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), who wanted to create a “new man” ideology. This “new man” was to become a “selfless social being in a society free from domination.” To achieve this goal, Mao calls for the destruction of the “four relics”: old ideas, old culture, old teachings, and old habits. They were to be replaced by the ideologies of Mao Zedong, who tried to create a cult of personality. From the beginning, Mao used the Cultural Revolution for his own purposes, he wanted to renew the spirit of the communist revolution and eliminate what he considered unnecessary, as indicated in part by some of his fellow party members who favored the path.
