that individualiusm is freedom they don't realise if we just work together this can be our world and not a world belonging to someone else far away with lots of money and power that we have no choice but to submit to.

Because we feel like we have to do what we are told because this isn't our world, they're not our schools, our colleges, our workplaces, our shops and increasinlgly with houseprices getting higher and higher even our homes, everything is owned by someone else, someone far away - not someone close to use we can talk to and deal with human being to human being. So we feel trapped and unfree, but we can make this world ours, everyone's!

But because people have been tricked into thinking

omg yay found my favorite maoist film again :D

Been several years since I first watched this. Even though it's blatent propaganda in many ways it also inspired me in many ways.

When I saw the kids working on building their own college I thought "woah, that's interesting, why don't we do that, we feel so powerless because we are not allowed to create anything only go and do what we are told in places and institutions built by others, but we can build things as well as anyone else, why can't we!"

One must look for strength in the writings of Mao and in films such as this during these weary times for the capitalist dynasty.

El t{itulo, "rompiendo con las viejas ideas" --¡y el contenido!--, hace referencia a una de las "4 todas" a que jhac{ia referencia Marx como caraterizaci{on de las grandes transformaciones de la sociedad socialsta. En los años 70, durante la campaña de estudo sore la dictadura del proletariado, esta formulacion de Marx fue muy difundida por los escritos de Chang Chun-chiao

The film is of the years 1975-1976, during the GRCP, (the ore of the model works), but refers to a real struggle during 1958-1961
