tan sitong was an extremist/radical/liberal chinese poet, thinker, activist, revolutionary/reformist whatever you want to call him who wrote over 200 poems while traveling early on in his life until he got on the grand council (who were in charge of military affairs and such)
tan sitong advocated for the hundred days reform which failed
he eventually was executed
liang qichao was also a scholar/thinker/writer/philosopher/etc. who helped catalyze the hundred days reform, which was an 104 day event that was highly fast-paced that sought to build the educational and political infrastructure from the ground up.
chen duxiu was also a major extremist because he was the founder and leader of the communist party---political theories based on Marxism.
mao tse tung: led the chinese revolution, cultural revolution, great leap forward. very extreme and his ideas clearly failed miserably.
nasser: overthrew monarchy in egypt through the egyptian revolution, second president of egypt.
al-banna: founded muslim brotherhood. which...
qutb was a part of. qutb was also executed because of the crazy extreme shit he did. best known for writing "social justice in islam." hated americans and their materialism.
obsolete traditions trigger disorder...or even the taoist theory can connect to that...social disorder comes from failing to rectify names for instance. when things aren't called what they should properly be called...which goes hand in hand with confucius' theory that chaos stems from NOT ACCEPTING REALITY. soooooooo true! every word of that shit rings true. we need to accept what is true in our hearts otherwise our self-deception and bullshit will drive us crazy.
