Mao Zedong became one of the last century\u2019s most powerful dictators by completely transforming Chinese society through a systematic use of violence, coercion, and aggressive propaganda. His method was so unique \u2013 and ruthlessly effective \u2013 it was codified by historians and political scholars as Maoism.<\/p>\n
