See I would have practically broke from Mao because of the Great Leap Forward, I sure as hell dont want millions of people's souls botherin me in my sleep. However, ideologically I dont think I have necessarily broken with Mao. I think that he did move Marxist-Leninist Thought forward, and helped developed a Third World Marxism, which is being enacted in Nepal, India, Philippines, Kurdistan/Turkey etc. However, I would like to have a discussion about Lin Biao, just because of his influence on the Indian Maoist movement. I mean should we repudiate Lin Biao's theories just because of his treachery and excesses of the Cultural Revolution?
I didn't read very much about Lin Biao... Just that people about Long Live, and something about how Mao liked him because he put personal advancement ahead of ideological righteousness. Who knows what the world would look like if his daughter hadn't accidentally ratted on him though?
