Example Body #1 Mao and Deng both had social, political and economic goals that drove their policies. Mao was a true revolutionary. His main goal was to use violence and have the peasants overthrow the wealthy class (Doc 1). As a communist he wanted to create a classless society (Doc 5). He used the Great Leap Forward as way to achieve his goals (Doc 2). The GLF was a plan to use communes and increase farm and industrial output. Mao’s other plan was the Cultural revolution, a plan to spread the message of communism to the far corners of China (Doc. 3). The cultural revolution was the most radical phase of the communist revolution in China.
