Today marks the 74th anniversary of Chairman Mao, the leader of the Chinese Communist Party, proclaiming the foundation of the People’s Republic of China. He stated that the “cannonballs of the October Revolution” had “brought Marxism” to China.
China’s eight hundred million citizens rose, and through the development of socialism, China reached a pivotal moment in humanity's deliberate march toward Communism. Following Mao’s death in 1976, emerging bourgeois elements within the party executed a coup d’état and reinstated capitalism under the direction of Deng Xiaoping and his successors, who continue to govern China today.
One of Mao’s notable concluding remarks was: “If China’s leadership is usurped by the revisionists in the future, the Marxist-Leninists of all countries must relentlessly expose them, fight them, and assist the Chinese masses in their struggle against the revisionists.”
