Rhetorical analysis (Mao + ?)

[kefka]

I believe that the final essay of my Swedish B course is going to be a rhetorical analysis where I will analyze two speakers rhetorical strategies, maneuvers, language etc and i'm all out of ideas.

For various reasons i selected Mao Tse-Tung as my first speaker and I will probably use serve the People, the foolish old man who removed the mountains and Mao Zedong’s talks at the Yennan forum on literature and art although I could use some suggestions here too.

But my main problem is who to use as a second speaker that person should for the sake of the essay have at least a few things in common with the speeches of Mao I will work with since it will be very hard to draw parallells between some Obama speeches where he just talks about his family.

The second person doesn't have to be a socialist, a great theoretican or something in that league but at least one of the persons speeches needs to be available on the internet.

Grateful for any help I could get.:)

Then I recommend Trotsky.

Then I recommend Trotsky.

are you serious or just in the mood for a flame-war?

however I will search for speeches made by him.

I've found this essay by Lenin called Party Organisation and Party Culture in my bookshelf perhaps I can use it and the Yenan talks by Mao in some way.

i'll let the thread be open for a little longer at least.

:confused:You can't close threads.

Then I recommend Trotsky.Not clever, not funny. You've let me down, you've let Revleft down, but most of all, you've let yourself down. Go away for a while and have a think about what you've done.

no but when i've decided what to work with I can probably ask a admin/moderator to shut the thread down. I don't believe they would argue with it since the thread will have lost it's meaning by then.

Yeah, you tell him!

i think Trotsky is great, he was one of the most rhetorical best of the soviet philosophers i know.
