This is the complete text of the Sayings of Chairman Mao, Modernised and Annotated. This is the first in a series of the Political Foundations Series, Political books that have had a significant impact on how we think and on our social and political environments.
Chairman Mao's Little Red Book continues to influence a generation of Chinese Communists and the repercussions of this man's leadership have had an unimaginable and far-reaching impact.
How the book has influenced modern thinking in the West I will leave it to modern pundits to comment on but you cannot deny the impact that the 5bn copies printed had on the Chinese nation. References have been added to explain the historical context, translation of foreign phrases and definitions of uncommon words.
Our Principles of Modernisation: -
Never change the meaning of a sentence from the original
Try not to change the tone or voice of the author.
In our Notes, never express a personal opinion or an opinion that will prejudice the reader.[1]
If we replace a word with a modern alternative, we footnote the original word. Else if we feel changing the word would change the spirit of the sentence, then we footnote the definition.
