Deng Xiaoping implemented significant reforms to the former agricultural communes established under Mao Zedong by introducing the Household Responsibility System in the late 1970s. This system decentralized agricultural production, allowing individual families to manage their own plots of land while still meeting state quotas. As a result, productivity increased, and farmers gained greater incentives to work efficiently, leading to improved living standards in rural areas. This shift marked a significant departure from the collectivist policies of the Mao era.

The formation of communes and Red Guards in Communist China was driven by the desire to rapidly transform the agrarian economy into a socialist society, as part of Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward. Communes were established to collectivize agriculture and promote communal living, aiming to increase production efficiency. Meanwhile, the Red Guards emerged during the Cultural Revolution to enforce communist ideology, eliminate perceived bourgeois elements, and support Mao's vision by mobilizing youth against established authority and traditional values. Together, these movements sought to reinforce revolutionary fervor and reshape Chinese society according to communist principles.

Communes often struggled due to a lack of centralized authority and coordination, leading to inefficiencies and conflicts among members. The idealistic goals of communal living sometimes clashed with human nature, resulting in disagreements over resource distribution and decision-making. Additionally, many communes faced economic challenges, making it difficult to sustain themselves without external support. Ultimately, these factors contributed to the dissolution or failure of many communes.
