20th century China has been rich with experiences of Commune-type theories and practices. At the end of 1966 and the beginning of 1967, inspired by the Maoist theory of continuous revolution and the vision of a Commune-type state structure, the rebel workers in Shanghai, together with rebellious students and revolutionary party cadres and leaders, took the bold initiative to overthrow the old power structure from below. On Feb. 5, 1967, the Shanghai workers established the Shanghai Commune modeled upon the Paris Commune. This became known as the January Storm. After MaoÕs death in 1976, the communist party and government in China has rewritten history, attacking the Cultural Revolution. And the Shanghai Commune has barely been mentioned in China, let alone careful evaluation and in-depth study. This dissertation attempts to recover this lost yet crucial history by exploring in historical detail the origin, development and supersession of the Shanghai Commune. Examining the role of different mass organizations during the January Storm in Shanghai, I attempt to offer a full picture of the Maoist mass movement based on the theory of continuous revolution. Disagreeing with some criticsÕ arguments that the Shanghai Commune was a negation of the party-state, I argue that it neither negated the party nor the state. Instead, the Shanghai Commune embodied the seeds of a novel state structure that empowers the masses by relegating some of the state power to mass representatives and mass organs. Differing from the common narrative and most scholarship in the post-Mao era, I argue that the commune movement in the beginning of 1967 facilitated revolutionary changes in Chinese society and state structure. The Shanghai Commune and the Shanghai Revolutionary Committee developed as ruling bodies that did not hold general elections or abolish the standing army and in this way did not replicate the Paris Commune. But in contrast to the old Shanghai organs of power, they were largely in conformity with the principles of the Paris Commune by smashing the Old and establishing the New. Some of their creative measures, Òsocialist new thingsÓ, anticipated the features of a communal stateÐa state that does not eradicate class struggle yet begins to initiate the long process of the withering away of the state itself.

Not bad for the money
Color: Blue, Size: X-Large
Not bad for the money, BUT, not high quality fabric (KINDA wrinkles easily, but Ironed nicely.. Stitching was decent.. Only washed one time (inside out and in cold), so it's kinda early to fully rate, but I will not over -wash it...For a musician, it's kinda nice ...Might buy a couple more for the stage👍

Sexy Shirt!
Color: White, Size: Large
My husband loves it. He says it’s soft and very comfortable. Flexible with his body but not tight at all. He’s a size large, 180# with welding pipes! He’s a welder by trade so his biceps are decent, this shirt doesn’t strangle them. He looks amazing in it and it wears well and comfortably under a suit or sports jacket. True to size and color.

5/5 Stars
Color: 01-black, Size: Large, Color: 01-black, Size: Large
I absolutely love this black cowboy shirt! The first time I put it on, I could feel the quality. The material is comfortable but sturdy, and the embroidery on the front and sleeves is just beautiful. It gives that true Western vibe while still looking classy and modern. What I really like most is the fit — it’s sharp and clean but still gives me room to move and stay comfortable. I paired it with my boots and belt, and the whole outfit came together perfectly. I’ve gotten so many compliments wearing this shirt, and it definitely makes me feel confident and put together. Whether I’m dressing up for an event or just want to rock a casual cowboy look, this shirt never misses. It’s definitely one of my favorite pieces in my closet now!

Too loose
Color: Black (Retro Rose), Size: Small
I really like this shirt, but unfortunately it is way too loose for a size S. It looks like a XL. A shirt like that should be tight.
