The roots of Maoism emerged as a trend within the Second International. The Chinese People's Party was the first nonEuropean party to be admitted to the 2nd International in 1912. Zhou Enlai served as the Chinese delegate to the 1912 Basel Conference where he vigorously supported anti-militarism. This placed the CPP along the Left trend with the Bolsheviks. Within the CPP itself the three trends were industrial social democracy, peasant agrarian populist anarchism, and anti-imperialist nationalism. Mao Zedong was the leader of the Marxist faction but he was able to win the support of the peasant factions by organizing democratic people's cooperatives in the countryside during the Long March. Mao's early works on dialectics challenge the mechanistic materialism of Kautsky.
