Synopsis

These early philosophical writings underpinned the Chinese revolutions, and their clarion calls to insurrection remain some of the most stirring of all time. Drawing on a dizzying array of references from contemporary culture and politics, Žižek's firecracker commentary reaches unsettling conclusions about the place of Mao's thought in the revolutionary canon.
