Communism in the book Life and Death in Shanghai
Karl Marx was considered the father of communism. ... The other communist parties and leaders in history have based their campaigns and ideas on Marx’s book. ... The leader of China’s communist party and therefore the leader of China at the time this book was written was Mao Zedong. ... In the book a friend of the main character mentions the Though Reform Movement that Mao started. ... Because of the fact that all communists were equal in their eyes, no communist would try to overthrow Mao Zedong because they could have just as much prestige and money doing something else and the risk of death while trying to over through the government is too high to risk on something that doesn’t really matter.
