I remember when 51 members of the CCP’s intelligence community issued a statement denying Mao’s cultural revolution as being anything but clean and mostly peaceful.
I think the lesson of the Cultural Revolution and the Nazi era is that anyone can go down into that abyss. You also seem to say, and I agree, that the US narrowly avoided that fate. I would add, for now.
This article is so spot on, it should be required reading for every high school student and every college student. Thank you for clearly stating what we’ve always known, but ignored in this country.
It has always pissed me off how many movies are made about the horrors of the Nazis (quite rightly) but almost none about the horrors of Stalin and Mao. Apparently the leftists in Hollywood are afraid of showing what their ideas, pushed hard, lead to.
Only American film I can think of (off the top of my head) that accurately portrays Maoist China is The Red Violin, which came out decades ago. There are other famous ones like The Blue Kite and Farewell My Concubine which are set in that period, but were made my Chinese filmmakers.
Excellent summation YB, and the parallels to our 21st century mass-formation cannot be drawn enough. I recommend reading further on this exact topic with Xi Van Fleet's book: "Mao's America: A Survivor’s Warning" https://a.co/d/90izUrU
We know that communism has murdered hundreds of million of people. Now, the non-communist governments are following the same path. It's all humans who now have a target painted on their backs in the name of depopulation and the rise of the A/i death machines.
Make no mistake. The people and governments following that malthusian agenda are communists, as much or more than Mao was. They are the same pig wearing different lipstick
No recounting of the Chinese Communist terror in the Cultural Revolution can be more moving than the book by Wu Ningkun, "A Single Tear: A Family's Persecution, Love, and Endurance in Communist China." The riveting story is at once terrible, inspiring and uplifting. It will move anyone to tears...other than Leftist scum who support and perpetrate such atrocities.
Never realized how awful that time was in China. This explains why the Chinese ppl were always so quiet, so heads-bent-low, going along to stay out of the way of anything that would hint at going against the State.
It’s clear to me the only reason why this horrible sort of totalitarian behavior didn’t occur in the last 5 years is because we still have our guns and a burgeoning population of preppers and all kinds of similar groups of people who will fight to the death to protect themselves and our country.
Very astute observation. I came to this conclusion also. The U.S. is simply not governable by force by the left or the right. 400 million guns guarantee this.

Your description sounds like the "mostly peaceful" George Floyd protests. Was that deliberate?
Indeed.

Awesome Yuri! 🔔🗽🌐
Keep on Keep'n on Amigo.....
Our children and grandchildren DESPERATELY need this information!
The Chinese Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward were horrible chapters in history that must be remembered. Mao truly was a monster.
Frank Dikotter has written an excellent series of books on the topic and others about Communist China:

Another cautionary tale on how chasing power rots your soul.

The Tiananmenn massacre didn't happen. I'm starting to wonder about you now.
