Written as a speech to commemorate the 28th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party, the work argues that a coalition of the working class, peasantry, urban petty bourgeoisie, and national bourgeoisie — led by the proletariat — must exercise collective dictatorship over reactionary classes to safeguard the revolution. With a tone that is declarative and uncompromising, Mao systematically dismantles liberal democratic alternatives and illustrates why alignment with the Soviet Union and international communism was, in his view, the only viable path for China's future. The text remains an essential primary source for scholars of Marxist-Leninist thought, Chinese political history, and 20th-century revolutionary ideology, offering an unfiltered window into the doctrinal foundations of the Chinese Communist state.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887905747163,"sku":"2026200007535-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f31b55ea-e70c-4465-9ed6-a01c8a16c0cf.png?v=1781748626","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007535-secondhand-on-peoples-democratic-dictatorship","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
