The Kuomintang[a] (KMT) are one of the three major parties in the Republic of China (Taiwan) and formerly mainland China's ruling party from 1928 to 1949. Although they maintained a few short-term alliances with the Communist Party of China for opportunistic reasons, the Kuomintang have always constituted the largest anti-communist force endemic to China. The party is associated with notorious reactionary Chiang Kai-shek.
The Kuomintang, unlike its later reactionary stance, was initially a relatively progressive, bourgeois revolutionary party which stood against the feudal Manchu-dominated Qing dynasty. While never a Marxist himself, Sun Yat-sen was to some extent influenced by Leninist organizational structure and additionally had correspondence with the Communist International. However, Sun Yat-sen ultimately rejected Marxism and believed that a model similar to that the Soviet model would be impossible to apply to China. Thus, the path taken by the Kuomintang under Sun Yat-sen would still inevitably be one of bourgeois democracy.[1][2]
