Class Notes 2/3/10

Communists worked to gain the support of peasants:
  • Land reform
  • Ended arranged marriages
  • Ended foot binding
  • Lowered rents
  • Peasant associations
  • Propaganda (everybody has a job and is treated equally)
  • Class warfare
  • Compare to Soviets purging the kulaks (wealthy land owning peasants)
  • Jianxi Soviet (1930s)

  1. Good notes on practices and also on the Rise of Mao, as he helped institute these policies in the Jianxi Soviet in the 1930s!
