Abstract: This article describes the main figures of Mao Zedong’s dialectics, tackling it from a theoretical point of view and not political. However, since this is a philosophy of practice explicitly proposed as such, these figures must be framed both in their context and in some application moments. Therefore we also briefly discuss the relationship between Mao and Russian Marxism-Leninism and provide some examples of how Mao intended to apply its conceptions to political and personal events.
