Three Principles of the People

Sun Yat-sen, the creator of the Three Principles of the People and founder of the Kuomintang.

The Tridemism, or Three Principles of the People, also known as the San-min Doctrine, is a Left-wing political philosophy made by Sun Yat-sen to make a free, strong and rich country.[1]

Sun Yat-sen's idea was that the people should start a nationalist revolution and replace a bad or weak government with a people's republic led by the people's party.

In this new government, capitalism would change into a mixed socialism. The goal was to make society and the economy more equal but without using violence to end class struggle, which is different from Marxism.[2]
