Question

From the Early 1800's all the way until now, what has made Communism appealing to the Chinese peasant?

Answer 1

Communism is a philosophy and social reform that was introduced to the world by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the mid of the 18^th century to fight against capitalism that brought class consciousness among people. The one who controlled labor through production means became the owner and took the upper class status while the labors who worked for them were pushed to the lower level. The peasants loved the fact that they would be respected and treated equally and they also felt included. Although this philosophy was very much spreading all over the world and in China, it was Ma Zedong who spread it across China by founding The Communist Party of China. Communism brought socialistic thoughts among people. While capitalism aimed at mass production, communism aimed at production by mass thus including everyone in the country. Although there was much resistance, it was only after the Second World War, Ma Zedong was able to announce China as Peoples republic of China with the whole country resonating the communist ideologies. It was communism and sociological ideas that made China as one of the powerful nations in the world.
