Mohism I: Ancient Chinese Leftists – Chinese History

from Dead Ideas: The History of Extinct Thoughts and Practices

They were the chief rivals of the Confucians in their early days, but today no one has heard of them. Meet the Mohists: a faction of hard-headed, big-hearted philosophers whose ideas would fit right in to modern leftist politics, but which were scorned at the time in Ancient China.
