Shanghai People's Commune
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shanghai People's Commune was originally established during the Cultural Revolution in the late 1960's.
The Commune was modeled on the Paris Commune. Control was supposed to fall into the hands of the workers thus establishing a grassroots system.
[edit] Disbandment
Mao Zedong later decided that the commune would not be the best idea at the time. He became fearful that communes would soon replace the PRC and that there would be no need for the party and the government. Therefore, he ordered the disbandment of the commune after a discussion with the founders. It had only existed for less than a month.
