1949182587Shanghai: Taipingyang chubanshe 1949. First edition of this large political visualization significant for its publication date only a few weeks before the founding of the People's Republic of China. It reflects an increased demand for material explaining the ideology of the Chinese Communist Party caused by the party's victory in the civil war and the complete collapse of the Kuomintang on the mainland. The table presents some of the core ideas of Marxism tracking economic and cultural evolution from primitive through to capitalist and then socialist societies. The columns address such criteria as modes and means of production vanguard revolutionary forces and class relations. Although the table accommodates a transitional period from capitalism and socialism this differs from the "new democracy" approach favoured by Mao in the PRC's early years. Printed table 530 x 680 mm folding away into 157 x 107 mm card wrappers front cover lettered in red within black frame. Table in Chinese text printed in red and black. Table with 140 mm closed tear sometime repaired on recto with adhesive tape small split at one intersection unknown

1947182588Shexian: Taihang qunzhing shudian "Taihang People's Bookstore" 1947. Maoism made official First edition thus. Passed at the party's seventh congress in 1945 the constitution for the first time formalized "Mao Zedong Thought" as the guiding ideology of Chinese communism. Following the historic congress the new constitution was disseminated by local printers in the rural base areas under party control. This example was issued in the foothills of the Taihang Mountains near the capital of the strategically important Shanxi-Hobei-Shandong-Henan "liberated zone." In 1948 Mao took up residence in nearby Xibaipo where he lived until his triumphant entry into Beijing in March 1949. This first printing dates to September 1947. Subsequent printings appeared in December 1947 and several times in 1948 but they did not have a frontispiece. Rural printers had access to only the most rudimentary facilities and the vast majority of base-area publications have now perished. Octavo pp. ii 27 1. Half-tone frontispiece portrait of Mao decoration above table of contents. Text in Chinese. Original illustrated wrappers front cover lettered in black. Tidemark at head of volume spine worn split at head of front joint chip to front cover several gatherings uncut: a very good copy typical of publications printed in the Chinese Communist Party's rural base areas. unknown

193740520San Francisco: Educational Committee San Francisco Communist Party N.d. ca 1937. First Edition. Corner-stapled mimeographed typescript 36cm x 22cm; 6pp printed recto-only. Toning corner creases and general wear; still a complete Good or better example. Dated from text. Rather remarkable Popular Front document prepared by Manuilsky as Deputy General Secretary of the Comintern and clearly oriented toward American Party members as the majority of the text deals with the resurgent economic crisis in the U.S. Though the title of the paper might suggest a style sheet or compositional outline the document in fact is a list of rather explicit instructions to American Party members on how to interpret contemporary world events in the light of current Soviet doctrine the general upshot being that the American economic crisis the rise of European fascism revolution in China and the increasing militancy of the Japanese are all symptoms of the collapse of capitalism and the ". growing resistance of the working class and the toiling masses against the onslaught of the fascist powers!" Evidence of Moscow's direct influence on the CPUSA during this period is hardly necessary to prove a point but this document provides a neat example of precisely how that influence was directed and executed. Unrecorded in this format though a similar document was published in Los Angeles in 1946 per OCLC; this printing clearly much earlier based on text.
