Why people recommend it
Mao Tŝe-tung's quotations by Mao Zedong is a collection of statements and writings by the Chinese communist revolutionary leader that outlines Marxist-Leninist ideology and political strategy. Emily Jashinsky mentioned and recommended reading this work during an episode of Breaking Points in December 2024, specifically while discussing political discipline and strategy regarding government appointments and leadership changes in Washington. During the broadcast, Jashinsky invoked the historical texts to contrast the fierce dedication of past revolutionaries with the perceived lack of discipline among contemporary political figures. Jashinsky argued that historical revolutionaries genuinely believed their efforts would save humanity and maintained a level of commitment that stands in stark contrast to modern political indiscipline. By directing the audience to read Mao's writings, the host aimed to illustrate a point about the intense ideological focus and seriousness required to enact radical political change, suggesting that modern observers could learn about revolutionary dedication by examining these foundational texts from the twentieth century.

“Go read some Mao; like you think that any of those revolutionaries would be tolerating this level of indiscipline when they actually believe that their revolution is important, is so important that it is going to save humanity?”
