ABSTRACT: This paper attempts to most completely and holistically define Mao Zedong’s political opinions, philosophical theory, and general rationalizations that influenced or motivated the methodologies of the Great Leap Forward campaign, including this movement’s radical principle goals of decentralization and collectivization. It will not, however, delve into the collectivization’s failures nor its indubitable impact, but rather the theoretical reasonings propelling Mao into creating the movement. This paper builds on and accounts for previous works like Tetsuya Kataoka’s “Political Theory of the Great Leap Forward” (1969), addressing its thoughtful insights but also its shortcomings, analyzing both pre existing research in the field with Mao’s original works in effort to contribute meaningful interpretations to discussions on Mao Zedong thought and its influence.
