>>Basic human rights.

Sun never talked about "human rights". He was kind of racist, or greater-Han-ist.

You just showed your ignorrance.
In Chinese culture there is no "human rights" term but it is common sense.

Define racist please. In Chinese there is no such term as "racist" or "gretaer-Han-ist". It is human nature that we discriminate and self-centered. That is why 2500 hundred years ago Chinese ancient intellecture defined "equality, harmony and justice for all" as the ideal world.

In order to understand Sun's philosophy you need to understand "Da Dao" and "Da Tung". Of course, study his books.

BTW, study Sun's WILL which is very short.

Historically the KMT and the CCP were brothers.

I don't think so. What the CCP wanted was a complete economic revolution among other things. Chiang did not want to kill all the communists for no reason. This idea that they were 'brothers' is based on the Xi'an incident.

I don't see any difference between today's CCP and Chiang's KMT.

The key there is "today's". The wars between the CCP and KMT were not fought over "today's" version of the CCP.

The more the CCP changes the better off China will be. The original revolution of the communists and their original plans and ideas were failures, therefore they adopt a more moderate line today. They cannot admit they were wrong, but in a way, they already have. The idea that they are emulating Chiang's KMT to some extent says a whole lot.

Remember though, today's plan was not the plan in 1949. If someone would have even mentioned today's plan in 1949, Mao would have shot them.

That again is the "today's" CCP... The CCP is slowly moving from a failed system and failed thought, only they are acting like today's CCP is the exact same in all ways as yesterday's CCP. They are acting like they have been right all along.
