What were the motives of the communists who overthrew Confucian China?

Answer 1

Chairman Mao united the country after it had been ruled for years by battling warlords who were getting rich preying on the helpless people. The communists brought order where there had been chaos. They wanted to bring equal rights and opportunity to everyone and give the poor peasants a chance participate in the economy instead of being a powerless underclass that could be exploited by anyone..

Answer 2

Mao was interested in power. Nothing else.

The Communist actually overthrew the Kuomintang, who in turn had seized power from the last Empress (although they maintained an Emperor as a puppet). After the communists seized power the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan.

The above is a gross simplification.

It wasn't the Communists, the Communist Part was only formed during the time of the Boxer revolution, which was a long time after Confucious was dead
