Capitalist Roader

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Maoist concept of capitalist roader (走资派)denotes persons or groups on the political left who demonstrate a marked tendency to bow to pressure from Bourgeois forces and subsequently attempt to pull the Revolution in a capitalist direction, and eventually restore the political and economic rule of capitalism--hence the "capitalist road". Capitalist roaders are described as represenatives of the capitalist class within the Communist Party and who attempt to restore capitalism while pretending to uphold socialism. Mao contended that Deng Xiaoping was such a capitalist roader, and that the Soviet Union also fell to capitalist roaders from within the Communist Party after the death of Joseph Stalin.
