Well the Cultural Revolution was 100% just to worship him but the actual communist revolution would have been exported to China post-WWII by the Soviets without him.
>"when the Americans were killing and bombing in Vietnam and the whole of Indochina, China held secret talks with the Americans... These disgraceful, anti-Marxist, uncomradely negotiations were held without the knowledge of the Vietnamese, let alone any knowledge on our part. This was scandalous. This was a betrayal of the Chinese towards the Vietnamese, towards their war, towards us, their allies, and all the other progressive peoples. This is revolting."
> "regardless of the result of the talks, the very fact that Nixon, who is known as a rabid anti-communist, as an aggressor and murderer of peoples, as the representative of the blackest of American reaction, is to be received in China, has many minuses and will bring many negative consequences to the revolutionary movement and our cause. There is no way in which Nixon's visit to China and the talks with him can fail to create harmful illusions about American imperialism. ... It will exert a negative influence on the resistance and struggle of the American people themselves against the policy and aggressive activity of the government of Nixon, who will seize the opportunity to run for President again. ... It is not hard to guess what the Italian workers who clashed with the police and demonstrated their repugnance to Nixon's recent visit to Italy, the Japanese workers who did not allow Eisenhower even to set foot on their territory, and the peoples of Latin America who protested and rose against the Rockefellers and all the other envoys of the Washington government, will think. Only the Yugoslav Titoites and the Rumanian revisionists welcomed President Nixon to their capitals with flowers."
is Mao the only person to ever get blown out this hard by fucking Albania?

>the Japanese workers who did not allow Eisenhower even to set foot on their territory
To be fair, Eisenhower was so soon after WWII that it can be expected Eisenhower would be rejected from visiting Japan.
Am I crazy, or is visiting the enemies of your ideology a necessary step to sizing them up? Adopting, for the moment, the maoist perspective, I see nothing wrong with negotiating with Nixon. Even Christ speaks with the devil in a very high place, from which either may fall.

Yeah, it's fine. The Albanian is just being autistic.

He was the mastermind and willed himself to power, read some history.

All that stuff was after he had full power, but he had been practicing minor 'cultural revolution' tactics on small scales way way far back.

That's debatable, chiang kai shek had good chances for a long time, if Mao hadn't been so devious
