The Cultural Revolution in context

[zhukhov1]

America hired deng xiao peng to manage slave labor for USA corporations.

There is no real equality in China. The majority of people are peasants and the peasants are poor. How is that equal? How is that equal when you have rich people in government such as the CCP and then poor peasants? I have 3 friends that went to China for business and said that the peasant class is severely poor. And what PURE communist country has really prospered? Look at the difference in the quality of life in North (Communist) Korea and South (capitalist) Korea.

[ComradeFlorian28]

There's a HUGE difference between the two Koreas: capitalist Korea does NOT have an ambargo to contend with and it's because of this that living standards in the North are relatively lower.

How about comparing North Korea with Bangladesh or Pakistan, or Cuba with Brazil and Mexico and see how bad the capitalists start to look.

truth be known to world:

dik-hed mao killed 60 millions from 1949-1976.

that's why the crap party of china, ccp.. lasted from 1949-1979.

mao: world number one dik-hed.

[KafkaCrow]

WTF is a "dik-hed"?

[tawfeeq23]

Due to the revolution much of china's old wisdom and knowledge was lost, and ultimatetly China is still suffering chasing the ideals of western civilisation, but you could say that Moa saved china from the foreign powers trying to seize the entire orient and you could say this was needed in order to save China's traditions.

[sinomaniac]

I disagree about the loss of China's old heritage. In China today you can find little evidence anywhere of the Cultural Revolution. The impact was exaggerated greatly by American media led by Henry Luce (Time & Life publisher). Chairman Mao himself told Henry Kissinger in one of their secret meetings that the Cultural Revolution had only affected a "few suburbs of Beijing."

[StrewnAsunder]

whether it was worth that amount of death and suffering being visited on one country is debatable

[ChristianSocialist]

Mao Zedong had a reason to fear that the Capitalistic Reactionaries would try to overthrow the Revolution!! They are currently working on making China a capitalist nation again!

[liguiyuan]

中国很有前途！

[emmthreejonny]

Unite, Unite, Unite, and then everything crumbles. History repeats itself...

[Freqman]

mao's great leap forward = the greatest famine in the history of mankind, over 20 million died because Mao told people to kill all the birds of china, no birds = more insects to eat the crops, and than later he brainwashed his people to double the steel population of china, the result was horrific as in millions of people left their crop fields and melted all their tools to make low quality unusable steel in makeshift furnaces..

[popoTb]

VERY VERY POUND TO BE CHINESE born in Hong kong!!!!!CHINA FOREVER!! to all my fellow chinese ppl unite !!! UNITE!!! we will become even stronger!! love your country. Dont ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country !!

[CommanderManifesto]

I second that!! China unite!! All other communist countries unite!! drive off the yoke of the western rich slave-owners that subjugate their own people!!

[popoTb]

sorry if i have offend you! i dont mean it! i am just one within 100s of million of patriotic Chinese! and yes, i am sorry that China has such cheap labor that most american companies have move their manufacturing there! Indeed China has made money from exporting to western nations ,but in turn, western people can pay less for their goods!

And my last comment was referring to Chinese people ! so are you Chinese?

[jambon57]

Communism and Socialism has resulted in the deaths of countless millions and the impoverishment of countless more. You desire more of this?

[BGShade4]

Yeh and many are still suffering to this day because of it.

[skyboo2]

r u guys brainwashed communists?

[BGShade4]

They are isnt it abvious?

[darthkabuto]

not brainwashed, we heard about it in history and it is always insulted so i decided to hear its side of the arguement, after seeing the pros and cons of both Communism and capitalism i chose the fair one: COMMUNISM

[BGShade4]

brainwashed...

[Henners1991]

Indeed, let's put them under the stick of an eastern sweatshop-owner! Then we can sell our goods to capitalist countries for appallingly low prices so that they can dress themselves like kings! Awesome!
