Who can remove a dynasty from power from the Mandate of Heaven?

Other powerful noble families, when the old ruler becomes corrupted (such as neglecting the kingdom; letting the farmers to starve, let the people run themselves, etc.). When his happens his power weakens, giving other powerful noble families a chance to take the throne. Civil war breaks out and a new family comes into power and is now emperor. How do we know he has the Mandate of Heaven? Because he's emperor of course; thus stating that the previous leader 'lost' the Mandate of Heaven. How do we know this? Because the current ruler is the emperor and the previous one is not; therefore saying that the god obviously wanted him to be emperor or else he wouldn't be. It's a very interesting and clever concept if you think about it. I believe the Mandate of Heaven was coined by the Zhou dynasty in order to give an explanation for why they are the proper rulers after killing the Shang emperor.

Do you have an example of parallelism in Thomas Paine - The Crisis?

It is dearness only that gives everything it's value; Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods. Parallelism is where you say the same thing twice, just differently. In both statements, Paine is saying that Heaven is almighty, just once as dearness and again as Heaven.

Why is it appropriate to speak of Confucius as an idealist?

It may not be proper to consider him completely as an idealist, but his views could logically lead one to idealism. He wanted reality to reflect Heaven, thus we have the Mandate of Heaven that causes various dynasties to come and go. This can be likened to Platonic Idealism, in that Plato believed that the world was a reflection of the Realm of Forms. These are viewed to be ideas themselves. Idealist schools of Confucianism did later arise after the time of Confucius.
