Talk:Continuous Revolution Theory

I like the connection of Continuous Revolution and Marxism. I think that this article should include the role of continuous revolution in China and possibly other nations today. Does the idea continue to permeate Chinese society, or has Mao's concept dissolved into the ether? Also, is continuous revolution progressive, despite Mao's communist alignments? Where does this philosophy sit in conjunction with the government's implementation of panopticon through internet surveillance and prevention of free speech? I would like to know more about the role of continuous revolution as it relates to China's social justice issues in the postmodern era.

Links and neutrality

Throughout the whole entry, there is not even one word with a link sending to a relevant page. I think this is something that shall definitely be improved. With this concern, I included some links myself. Additionally, I am not very certain about the neutrality,especially in the section "historical evaluation", some of the words such as "clearly" could be biased, while the opinions compiled together are collected from different scholars but their names were not addressed, which made evaluative nature of "historical evaluation" to some extent questionable.Tetsugakuboy (talk) 00:29, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

General comments and suggestions

This entry offers a clear introduction to Mao's idea on Continuous Revolution and how it is related to Cultural Revolution and Marxism. However, further clarifications and improvements are still needed. First and foremost, I get a little bit confused about the difference between "Continuous Revolution" and "Continuous Revolution Theory". The creator of the entry does mention that "Continuous Revolution Theory is rooted in Mao's thoughts regarding the nature of contradiction." Nevertheless, does Mao coin the term "Continuous Revolution Theory"? Or does someone else, maybe scholars who study Mao's ideas, create the term to introduce Mao's idea on "Continuous Revolution"? I think a clarification as well as further information is needed. Moreover, at the very beginning of this entry, the creator emphasizes that Continuous Revolution should not to be confused with Permanent Revolution.What is the difference between these two? Or in other words, why do we need to make a distinction between these two? Maybe a detailed discussion on the relationship between the two should also be included in the entry. Last but not the least, I find the last sentence in the introduction section a little bit problematic — "This is often subsumed under the subject of the Cultural Revolution, but it is worth considering Continuous Revolution Theory in its own right as an independent topic." This sentence is indeed an argumentative statement with no citation reference which may involve some neutrality issues. Who defines the "worth" of this perspective promoted by the creator? Why "Continuous Revolution" should be recognized as "an independent topic"? I think a discussion on the two perspectives of "continuous revolution" (to see it under the subject of the Cultural Revolution vs. to see it as an independent topic) may be helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SamuelJia97 (talk • contribs) 01:47, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
