DESCRIPTION:Probably the only time Mao Zedong Thought was integrated into a U.S. 
 mainstream institution was when his politico-military ideas were 
 incorporated into the noted 2nd Marine Corps Raider Battalion in 1942-44. 
 This was done by Brigadier General Evans V. Carlson who had been stationed 
 in China in the 1920s-30s, travelled with Mao's 8th Route Army, met Mao and 
 his generals and admired the military structure and political-military 
 ideology of the Red Army. This little known, but fascinating episode, its 
 genesis and demise, is the focus.  It will be presented within the context 
 of the 3 Anti-Imperialist Marine generals whose 1920s-30s time in China 
 began to alter their views of the U.S., from imparting democracy abroad to 
 imperialist state. Carlson is emphasized because of his openly 
 anti-imperialist, pro-Red Army views and their application while in the 
 Marines and his connection to the U.S. left in the 1930s-40s.\nSpeaker: Al
