Abstract

The initial theoretical preoccupation of theorists to the early Chinese Communist movement (that is, before 1923) was with the materialist conception of history and in particular the issue of the problematic relationship between the economic base and the politico-ideological superstructure.’ This preoccupation resulted from a concern over the implied deterministic tendency within Marxist social theory and a desire for some reassurance that human action, whether in the political, legal or ideological realms, could exert some influence on the course of history.
