Who should lead the new China?Here are 2 views of China’s most influential leaders on who
should direct the future of China. Answer … Who does each person think should lead China?One Strong LeaderThe most important point of
fascism is absolute trust in a sagely able leader. Aside from complete trust in one person, there is no other leader or ism. Therefore, with the organization, although there are cadre, council members, and executives, there is no conflict among them; there is only the trust in the one leader. The leader has the final decision in all matters.
- Jiang Jieshi, 1933
Peasant MassesThe broad peasant masses have
risen to fulfill their historic mission … the democratic forces in the rural areas have risen to overthrow the rural feudal power … To overthrow this feudal power is the real objective of the national revolution. What Dr. Sun Yat-sen wanted to do … but failed to accomplish, the peasants have accomplished in a few months.
- Mao Zedong, 1927
