[Part.11]
Tibet Meets the Maoist Revolution
Through the 1930s and '40s, a revolutionary people's war arose among the peasants of central
China. Under the leadership of the Communist Party and its Chairman Mao Tsetung, the revolution
won overall state power in the heavily populated areas of eastern China in 1949. By then, U.S.
intrigues were already starting at China's northern border with Korea, and French imperialists
were launching their colonialist invasion of Vietnam along China's southern border. Clearly, the
Maoist revolutionaries were eager to liberate the oppressed everywhere in China, and to drive
foreign intriguers from China's border regions.
But Tibet posed a particular problem: In 1950, this huge region had been almost completely
isolated from the revolutionary whirlwind that swept the rest of China. There were almost no
Tibetan communists. There was no communist underground among Tibet's serfs. In fact, the serfs
of Tibet had no idea that a revolution was happening elsewhere in their country, or even that
such things as "revolutions" were possible.
The grip of the lamaist system and its religion was extremely strong in Tibet. It could not be
broken simply by having revolutionary troops of the majority Han nationality march in and
"declare" that feudalism was abolished! Mao Tsetung rejected the "commandist" approach of "doing
things in the name of the masses." Maoist revolution relies on the masses.
In Part 2 of this series, we will discuss how Maoist revolution got its foothold in Tibet, and
how the revolution grew into great mass storms that blew away the lamaist oppression.
Bringing the Revolution to Tibet
By 1949, Mao's People's Liberation Army had defeated all the main reactionary armies in central
China. The day of the poor and oppressed had arrived! But the big powers in the world were
moving quickly to crush and "contain" this revolution. French troops invaded Vietnam, south of
China's border. By 1950, a massive U.S. invasion force would land in Korea with plans to
threaten Chinaitself.
The western mountains and grasslands of China's border areas are inhabited by dozens of
different national groupings, whose cultures are different from China's majority Han people. One
of those regions, Tibet, had been locally ruled as an isolated, "water-tight" kingdom by a class
of serf-owners, headed by the monk-abbots of large Lamaist Buddhist monasteries. During the
Chinese civil war, Tibet's ruling class conspired to set up a phony "independent" state that was
really under the wing of British colonialism.
Maoist revolutionaries were determined to bring revolution to Tibetto secure China's border
regions against invasion and to liberate the millions of oppressed Tibetan serfs there. There
was no doubt that Mao's hardened peasant-soldiers could defeat any army of Tibetan feudalists.
But the revolution faced a problem: The huge, sparsely populated region of Tibet had been
completely isolated from the revolutionary war sweeping the rest of China. In 1949 there was no
force among the Tibetan masses to carry out real liberation. There was yet no rebel underground
among Tibet's serfs. There were almost no Tibetan communists or even Han communists who spoke
Tibetan. The masses of Tibetan serfs had never heard that a great revolution had swept the rest
of their country. Tibetan serfs had been taught that their current misery and poverty was
justifiedcaused by their own sinfulness in earlier lives.

I am glad the Tibetans are living better lives now and I know there are westerners who demonize China. I know the Chinese government did a lot to help improve the living conditions in Tibet.
