Marx,+Stalin,+&+Mao+Activity

For this activity, I want you to read the selected sections of each of the following links. You will then create a Venn Diagram comparing Marx, Stalin, and Mao and their political philosophies and, in the case of Stalin and Mao, how that was put into practice. As you conduct this exercise, keep the following question in mind: "What would Karl Marx have said about how Stalin and Mao ran their "communist" regimes?"

Marxism - Scroll down to where it says "Communism" and just read that section. (There are two sections labeled "Communism" - I want you to read the first one.) Stalinism - Read from the beginning until the point where it says "Viewpoints on Stalinism" Maoism - Read the section titled "Maoist Theory"
