The Communist Revolution in the Pre-Industrial Society

Deng Xiaoping said later in the 1970s after Mao had passed away mercifully, that we're not going to do that anymore. We still committed to the Leninist vision of a vanguard transforming society but we're not doing it through brutal authoritarian means. This transformation was probably best described by a successor to Deng Xiaoping, Zhang Zemin, who in the late 1990s and into the 2000s called it his three represents. The first one is economic production, economic prosperity, building wealth, creating the industrial wealthy society that socialist revolution requires. The second represent was Chinese culture; so as China was being transformed into this wealthy prosperous society, it must always adhere to Chinese cultural characteristics.
