You can't really understand what the fuck someone's talking about if they're talking about being as cunning as Zhuge Liang to have your enemy dancing in your palm. - is how is Mao's theoretical concept of the massed line different from the theoretical works put out of the Bolsheviks and the Left-SRs a few decades earlier.
I'll try to answer my own questions on the whole conundrum when I finish up my own studying. So no sweat on putting in the work of writing an essay.
