He regarded this as a flaw. Me too.<br />So, to help in your appreciation - My Theory.<br />The artists often portray Mao as a woman - sexist-type degrading.They are also suggesting that he wasn't a Real Communist but just riding on the shoulders (or head) of a Real Communist i.e. Maoism needed Leninism to be legit.<br />Dunno if I entirely agree.I'm a big Ulyanov fan as a thinker but I lean towards Mao as actually the purer populist Communist.<br />That's a tad glib, now that I read it.Sorry.<br />Suezboo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-30181633531797421172013-03-08T06:18:51.771-08:002013-03-08T06:18:51.771-08:00You think that's art?
