  • even if i did speak chinese, i dont think i would be able to understand half of what they were saying.

  • Its a shame that China has fallen back into Capitalism. The people are being used in sweat shops, children are working, all the things Mao worked so hard to get rid of are back thanks to one man. Deng Xioping.

  • 16:35 "Chinese need an Emperor"

    What such beautifull words.....must return to the old and safe way of life, because unfortunately the capitalism is a worst and evil forche that must be destroyed with the Revolution, the Work and the People Unity.

    Long Life to the People's Republic of China and the Comunism!!!!!!!!

  • The one with 6-figure salary looks WAY less happy than field/factory workers btw.....

  • one does not "borrow government funds" one EMBEZZLES

  • it would be nice if they could at least translate what the chinese ppl are saying if the show has a chick speaking ENGLISH

  • Revolution is always harsh, its a fact, take a look at our own countries' history. Revolution is always bloodbath. It's a usual thing in this world. Sacrifice is imminent, without sacrifice there is no revolution. Mao did he had to do, Washington did what he had to do, the french and other revolutionaries did the same as well

  • wow if hitler's cronies still ran germany can you imagine how outraged the world would be? and yet mao's legacy still runs china? so outrageous. mao is the most evil man who ever lived. he fled his father's farm yet went to school on the proceeds, then later he sent everyone smart enough to rebel off to die in the wastelands he abandoned.  he is the biggest hypocrite ever. someone needs to carve how evil he was on his stupid plastic coffin- controlling oppressed and starving people is no feat

  • Unite against the new world orders !!!

    Long live the workers unity !!!

    Death the fascism, capitalism and racism !!!

  • capitalism and fascism are two sides of the same barbarian coin...

    workers of the world unite against the money grabbing politicians...

    Long live great communist revolutions ~!!!

  • Why unite? The eastern bloc failed and so will the regiemes in asia and cuba.

  • I would have agreed with Mao if he himself practiced what he taught. He was against rich people, land owners, noble man and so on. Once he acheived his power, he was worse then those people he was against. He had three or four wives. May be he has countless children all over China.

  • China is turning back to Capitalism right after Mao's death. If China won't rectify it will evetually dig its own economic, political and Cultural grave together with America who is now in a critical collapsed due to the ecomomic meltdown

  • 奴隶制(共产主义),奴隶主(共产党)拥有奴隶(人民)的制度。­奴隶(人民)须为奴隶主(共产党)干活,无报酬,且无人身自由。­法律确认奴隶为奴隶主的私有财产,共产主义跟奴隶制也一样,国家­所有财产归共产党。人民跟本不可能享受自己生产所得的回报。奴隶­主(共产党)对奴隶(人民)握有生杀予夺的权力,可随意奴役、杀­害。奴隶(人民)没有独立的人格,没有任何自由和权利。

  • I'm very,very perplexed about the unbiased view of this film:

    the terrible price payed by many good people which is true, never is compared with the huge benefits the whole of folk got in basic value: sense of participation, health care,full employment,housing, school. For all equals.

    The images of violent judgments to opponents of Mao,attributed to the Clt Rev. are a fake.

    Actually: peasants causes against landlords in the 50's.

    In this case Mao wrote against too violence, but he had to accept

  • did u ever live in a comunist country to know how it is like ?...I just can't understand how people who never had such an experience dare to prais comunism...

  • hrisnec,

    of course I' ve lived in .

    Some important things have obviously to be corrected. The proletarian march is a long one - as Mao knew - and the French Rev. , the Paris Commune, the breaking of the capitalist net with the Red October in Russia, the foundation of Red China - when China was Red, are all chapters, not always fortunate, of a long, not yet ended history, toward freedom for the human race.

  • Propaganda is a biased presenting of information. Ever piece of media you will encounter is propaganda, just not always political. This documentary shows a true story of people who might be representative of a group of people who got screwed over by the cultural revolution. I would not say that being a backward non-industrial country of some foreign power is good, but bringing one out of that state should not require such large amounts of human blood shed and freedoms/human rights trampled upon.

  • alto,

    it's from what a point of view u see how much amount of effort or risk is required for liberation& better life conditions.

    If u are an urban middle class, and have a secure wage at the end of the month, the amount u tolerate will be less then that conceived by a peasant in a land, in distress.

    No one in his sense likes violence.

    But the funny is then when Emperors do nothing for a dieing people they are good. When revolutionaries forces do a revolution they are the assassins.

  • Mao did not believe in economic freedom or political freedom. He wanted all power for himself.

  • My perplexity grows when I read the comment to the "new prosperity of countryside when capitalism came".

    It is not exactly like this.

    When Deng "liberalized" communes, had in mind the industrial dvlpmnt of the city, not the welfare of cntrsd which was the main worry of Mao.

    In fact there are not only few rich families well off as in the movie,

    but millions of despaired who had to let the land, and to join the cities as free hand laborers (migrants).

    It's a matter of which class is ruling.

  • 你妈逼吧

  • The revolution in China

    is coming

    Free china now

  • Mao did some great things and he did some very stupid things. When leaders stop listening to the people they intend to empower then they stop being leaders and start being dictators. That said, if not for Mao, China would be a slave to western countries as so many others have become.

    This video is one sided, as are most propaganda films made by anti-socialist first world film companies.

  • I;m 100% agree with you! Down with 1st world imperialism! Long Live 3rd world anti-imperialism!!!

  • I hate this video,

    Full of lies and western propaganda.

    If you think this is true, come to China and you see this is a big lie

  • Fuck you Wnxsilence

  • Total hypocrisy, bigotted and lieing. 1 Star.

  • You British scum murder tens of millions of people for centuries around the world, through colonialism, imperialism and war yet you have the dignity to critisize others? You Americans are the same murderers aswell, founded on the corpses of millions of Native Americans, and built on the backs of millions of black slaves..what a bastion to freedom & liberty the U.S/U.K are! hah

  • half of our American also did not use slaves and infact went to war to free them

  • Total bullshit video. Why don't you American hypocrites go to the slums of Skidro LA, before you talk about poverty & suffering.

  • This was a good video. It showed some of the most nasty aspects of Mao's dictatorship and his ill fated domestic policies.

  • I disagree, although the video clearly documents the negative aspects of Mao, I have not heard 1 relativly positve thing about Mao. This video is biased.

  • Mao and others (like Zhou Enlai) successfully transformed warring state China into a industrial nation. But the price paid for that success was enormous in cost of lives. Mao wanted to achieve the farmer state but found out the hard way that his ideal was far away from harsh realities.

    I that way you can compare him with Fidel Castro.

  • We need Mao's lagacy. This document blame everything happen to everyone to Mao, how biased.

  • Yeah, it really is kind of sad.

  • Simplified history, biased view.

  • 我们生活的很好!

  • Who care!! Mao is warrior, should be remember as warrior. Lost generation, ah ah ah, so many loser, loser... Good things Mao is stay respect in countryside. Mao and Chinese youth they kick ass, beat up a lot loser...

  • I don't like this flim, it is heavily biased and not well put together. They dont even give translate the interview with the Chinese family.

  • Of course it's biased. A lot of western documentaries, etc. give people a WESTERN point of view, not caring about things like cultural differences, etc. ^__^ And Mao... he was probably a good tactician, but a very bad economist.

  • It's strange how most people in the west don't think they also have propaganda surrounding them, we are conditioned to hate and fear China.

  • seeds of greed grow using all the tricks it language brings seeds of plants grow using all its roots to stay stationary and unmoved

  • it makes you think, all people who get mighty and diktator status turn out evil perversions,makes me think about the true nature of man being Evil....

  • wrong fool have you ever worked on a farm there then you will know nature is an ignorant word to use with evil

  • The title should be "Cultural revolution and its legacy". It shows nothing before that.

  • you dont listen

  • Translate the interview. We don't know CHinese.

  • @djnobel and who are u

  • @djnobel Learn Chinese. =D its great language =D I am learning it even i am American.
