This paper historicizes Tao Xisheng and Wang Yanan's critiques of bureaucratism and theories of further revolution. In contexts of the political culture from the 1920s to 1940s, the cases of Tao Xisheng and Wang Yanan reveal an unnoticed intellectual lineage shared by the Nationalist and Communist camps. Originally written in response to the Nationalist Revolution in 1920s and the Communist Revolution in 1940s, the anti-bureaucratic discourses of Tao and Wang shared a so-called social science discourse which emerged in the 1920s. Employing the concept of bureaucracy to encapsulate fundamental, and often moral, questions of society, they argued that revolutionaries should move further beyond the change of regimes. By contextualizing the works of Tao and Wang, this paper not only refines our understanding of the political culture of the 1920s and 1940s, but also sheds light on the appeal of the idea of further revolution, and its predicaments in the twentieth century. |
