5.0 out of 5 stars Golden Chairman
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2017

Mao’s Little Red Book is superb. Some of Mao’s more global Quotations include: All erroneous ideas, all poisonous weeds, all ghosts and monsters, must be subjected to criticism; in no circumstance should they be allowed to spread unchecked. However, the criticism should be fully reasoned, analytical and convincing, and not rough, bureaucratic, metaphysical or dogmatic. Both dogmatism and revisionism run counter to Marxism. Marxism must certainly advance; it must develop along with the development of practice and cannot stand still. It would become lifeless if it remained stagnant and stereotyped. However, the basic principles of Marxism must never be violated, or otherwise mistakes will be made (pg. 39 in chapter 2). People of the world, be courageous, dare to fight, defy difficulties and advance wave upon wave. Then the whole world will belong to the people. Monsters of all kinds shall be destroyed (pg. 159 of chapter 7). As far as our own desire is concerned, we don’t want to fight even for a single day. But if circumstances force us to fight, we can fight to the finish (pg. 165). The oppressed peoples and nations must not pin their hopes for liberation on the ‘sensibleness’ of imperialism and its lackeys (pg. 167 of chapter 7). Knowledge is a matter of science, and no dishonesty or conceit whatsoever is permissible. What is required is definitely the reverse – honesty and modesty (pg. 583 of chapter 33).
British Parliament member John McDonnell intelligently quoted out of Mao’s Little Red Book, “We must learn to do economic work from all who know how, no matter who they are. We must esteem them as teachers, learning from them respectfully and conscientiously. We must not pretend to know when we do not know (pg. 583).” Ayn Rand could have utilized this Mao Quotation? There was no controversial Nobel Prize in Economics yet when Mao’s Little Red Book was first compiled in 1964.

This works claims to support the people while reeducating the peoples thinking towards Social Communism. This is pure mind control of the masses. Treat the masses as ants.

What better way to understand the Obama Administration and his administration than to read this book. Obama obviously is taking quotes from Chairman Mao as a guide in how to run our government.

Little Red Book for Beginning Chinese Language Students
Book Review by Dr. Ali Fant, WB5WAF Radio Station

As a beginning Chinese language student, I found it very helpful to have the Chinese (Mandarin) and English text on facing pages. The thirty glossy color photographs of Mao are quite clear and distinct. The English font size is about 12 and the Chinese font size is about 14. One can read the Chinese text without a magnifying glass at normal reading distances.

Because Chinese printers tend to run multiple characters together to save space, I was happy to find only a few squashed characters in this book.

I purchased this book because it is the most published book in history, but probably not the most read book. The Bible, Quran, and Torah are arguably the most read books in history. However, the large population of China and the mandate that Chinese homes have a copy of Chairman Mao Tse-Tung quotations has made this small book very popular.

The translation of the Chairman's words indicate it was edited by a non-native English speaker. There are missing spaces between punctuation marks and multiple run-on sentences in the English text. I would not recommend this book for beginning English language students. I would recommend this book for beginning Chinese language students.

5.0 out of 5 stars A chance to review a Red Chinese "New Testament."
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2012

The little red book is an important addition to my library, which focuses on history, especially military history. While I in no way agree with most of what Chairman Mao had to say and write, I understand the power of his communication and its influence on the people not only of China but of other Asian and non-Asian countries as well.

The book is not a perfect publication. Type face changes in mid paragraph and lines are dropped and many other things occur on the pages, but what it contains in content is what I was seeking when I ordered it.

To some extent it is a novelty item. Even in China there are many who believe Mao went too far in trying to tear down Chinese culture and history. I am heartened by the more enlightened views of subsequent leadership, although I still feel China needs to be freed from this oppressive and archaic system of government.

But you do not ignore a country with a population over a billion, and we dare not ignore China and especially its history in the past century. To some extent, ignoring that history is what got us into this mess.

the book has tons of typos randomly, no one couble checked the translation. it is also just massive, so much for a "little red book", wouldnt it also be cheaper to make a smaller one? the extra size is not used either as there is just blank space near the edges so the text would not even need resizing.

The more we say about the contents of this book is less. Chairman Mao is like a lighthouse for the ongoing struggle in India to make New Democratic Revolution possible. Now let's come to book cover, binding, paper and print quality it's pretty decent. I bought this book from INFINITE BOOKS. It's a small business, do buy from them. They've variety of books on different subjects. The way they have maintained communication while the order was in transit untill the time I received it was very smooth. Delivery was swift, it got delivered way before the expected delivery date. Happy Shopping.

Mao is a man who's name and legacy has been slandered by western corporate media for the benefit of the capitalist class. His successes for the working class of China and all of the third world will never be compared to as long as we are under the oppression of the working class. This book contains some of the most progressive, influential and sound writings you will find on the subject of politics and economics.
