Collectivisation of agriculture
following Mao condemning
'Rash Advance' 1953.

- These were ominous words - show incompatibility of two objectives.

- Mao called a Conference of Local Party Secretaries in July 1955.
- Pushed vision of socialist countryside to an audience who welcomed his instructions.

- From an ideological point of view, it was a triumph and Mao was ecstatic, but it marked a breach with the millions of peasants whom the Communists had such success in gaining support from.
- In terms of economy, it was even more of a mistake, though economics was never one of Mao's strong points.
