POWER TO THE PEOPLE - MOB RULE
The exemplary vanguard role of the Communists is of vital importance. Communists in the Eighth Route and New Fourth Armies should set an example in fighting bravely, carrying out orders, observing discipline, doing political work and fostering internal unity and solidarity.
What kind of spirit is this that makes a foreigner selflessly adopt the cause of the Chinese people's liberation as his own? It is the spirit of internationalism, the spirit of communism, from which every Chinese Communist must learn…. We must unite with the proletariat of all the capitalist countries, with the proletariat of Japan, Britain, the United States, Germany, Italy and all other capitalist countries, before it is possible to overthrow imperialism, to liberate our nation and people, and to liberate the other nations and peoples of the world. This is our internationalism, the internationalism with which we oppose both narrow nationalism and narrow patriotism.
I agree with what you said but sometimes mob rule becomes a by product of the "power to the people" movement or the movement can be hijacked by mob rule without participants realizing. Just need to be aware.
I'm half trolling and half serious. But there is an undeniable parallel between the past and the revolutions going on all over the world. I do believe this time is different as people are more educated and spiritually mature. The error lies not in ideology but really in our maturity to handle a system.
