Lenin had adapted Marx's vision of how communism would develop to fit the Russian situation adn Mao did the same to Leninism.

Marx distrusted the peasantry, thinking them as inherently conservative.

Because Russia was still a largely rural, peasant based economy in 1917 Lenin said that the Workers would ally with the peasants - and guide them towards a revolutionary communist class consciousness.

Mao further adapted this idea, as China had not industrialised at all when he was formulating his ideas. Mao turned Marxism on its head, claiming that the peasants could be the driving force behind the revolution. He claimed that as the peasants worked for landowners and engaged in capitalist activities at the markets - then they were, in effect, a rural revolutionary class.

How did maos victory fuel anti-communists feelings in the us?

Mao's victory in the Chinese Civil War in 1949 intensified anti-communist sentiments in the United States, as it was perceived as a significant setback in the global struggle against communism. This event heightened fears of a "domino effect," where the spread of communism in Asia would threaten U.S. interests and allies. The loss of China to communism also fueled the Red Scare, leading to increased paranoia, investigations, and policies aimed at rooting out perceived communist influences within American society. Consequently, the U.S. government and public became more resolute in their opposition to communist ideologies both domestically and internationally.

What were the similarities and differences of the Mexican revolution and Chinese revolution?

Russian Revolution was to get rid of tsar Nicholas II and establish a democratic Provisional government, which would focus on economic and social reform. Provisional government failed and Lenin & the Bolsheviks took control establishing a communist state. He developed the NEP or new economic policy and then after him came Stalin who created the Five Year Plan and established the system of rapid industrialization and agricultural collectivization-resulted in millions of deaths. Mexican revolution was the lower class led by certain church members fighting of land redistribution and to get rid of the monopoly the elite had on the lives of the peasant class. Chinese revolution defeated the Manchu (Qing dynasty) and established the Kuomintang which was led by Sun-yat Sen, who goal was to create a democratic society and reform Chinese economy. He was forced out of the power and the communists defeated the government establishing a communist regime led by Mao Zedong. He established many reforms for industrialization and collectivization based on the examples of the Soviet Union. Communist China was reformed and still exists, thanks to Deng Xiangon's reform policies after Mao. the soviet union collapsed and communism was removed from that area.
