20th century China has been rich with experiences of Commune-type theories and practices. At the end of 1966 and the beginning of 1967, inspired by the Maoist theory of continuous revolution and the vision of a Commune-type state structure, the rebel workers in Shanghai, together with rebellious students and revolutionary party cadres and leaders, took the bold initiative to overthrow the old power structure from below. On Feb. 5, 1967, the Shanghai workers established the Shanghai Commune modeled upon the Paris Commune. This became known as the January Storm. After MaoÕs death in 1976, the communist party and government in China has rewritten history, attacking the Cultural Revolution. And the Shanghai Commune has barely been mentioned in China, let alone careful evaluation and in-depth study. This dissertation attempts to recover this lost yet crucial history by exploring in historical detail the origin, development and supersession of the Shanghai Commune. Examining the role of different mass organizations during the January Storm in Shanghai, I attempt to offer a full picture of the Maoist mass movement based on the theory of continuous revolution. Disagreeing with some criticsÕ arguments that the Shanghai Commune was a negation of the party-state, I argue that it neither negated the party nor the state. Instead, the Shanghai Commune embodied the seeds of a novel state structure that empowers the masses by relegating some of the state power to mass representatives and mass organs. Differing from the common narrative and most scholarship in the post-Mao era, I argue that the commune movement in the beginning of 1967 facilitated revolutionary changes in Chinese society and state structure. The Shanghai Commune and the Shanghai Revolutionary Committee developed as ruling bodies that did not hold general elections or abolish the standing army and in this way did not replicate the Paris Commune. But in contrast to the old Shanghai organs of power, they were largely in conformity with the principles of the Paris Commune by smashing the Old and establishing the New. Some of their creative measures, Òsocialist new thingsÓ, anticipated the features of a communal stateÐa state that does not eradicate class struggle yet begins to initiate the long process of the withering away of the state itself.

Quality product that serves my need!
Style: 7 in 1 【1 HDMI】, Style: 7 in 1 【1 HDMI】
I purchased this to accommodate my work from home set up and for the most part it does a good job. Whenever I turn my laptop on it gives me a message that it needs a little bit more powerful version. I am still able to use it probably would just not plug anything else into it. I work from home on average two days a week sometimes more and this comes in extremely handy to hook up my additional monitor, keyboard, mouse, and one additional item if I chose, so I like to buy anker brand as I know it’s reliable, and they stand behind their product. I have never had anything but good results with anker products. It is a great size for portability if I need to work from somewhere other than home, it’s super easy to use basically plug-in play. It does get a little warm. I’m sure the more things that are plugged into it would cause it to get warmer quicker overall I am happy with this product. It serves the purpose I bought it for.

My son was impressed
Style: 7 in 1 【1 HDMI】
Been working great. It’s fast and compatible with my Mac. Slim connection so that I can also plug in my external hard drive. Plus, my son was impressed that I got Anker. I’ll be honest, I don’t know companies, but he said I got a good one.

Great basic hub for home
Style: 7 in 1 【1 HDMI】
Makes switching between my work laptop and my personal one so much easier and has charging pass through. Great buy for the price if all you need is a simple hub.

Great for work
Style: 7 in 1 【1 HDMI】
I bought this to use with my MacBook for work, and it’s been a really useful all-in-one hub. One of the biggest advantages is not having to carry separate adapters for HDMI, USB devices, and SD cards. It makes it much easier to connect everything I need at my desk or when working away from home. The HDMI connection worked well with an external monitor, and the USB ports have been useful for keyboard/mouse and flash drives. The pass-through charging is also a big plus since it lets me keep my MacBook powered while still expanding the number of ports available. That makes a big difference if your MacBook already has limited ports to begin with. I also like that it’s compact and easy to keep in a laptop bag, so it works well for both a desk setup and travel. It can get a little warm during longer use, but that seems pretty normal for a small hub doing multiple things at once. Overall, this has been a helpful and convenient accessory for turning a MacBook into a more practical work setup.

My experience with the Anker Products is Great.
Style: 7 in 1 【1 HDMI】
Anker USB C Hub (7-in-1) I now have several Anker Products in my home. These folks just know how to build products. Affordable and durable, stable and easy to use. This 7 in 1 is all Plug and Play. I am using an external power supply, and this product delivers it to all of my connected devices. The stability of every thing plugged into the USB Ports keeps everything connected just as it should. I recommend the Anker Product Line and this product in particular. SO, if you're in need of additional USB Ports, go with Anker.
