History In One Minute: The Chinese Cultural Revolution

The Chinese Cultural Revolution was a period of political and social upheaval in China from 1966 to 1976, launched by Mao Zedong with the goal of purifying the party and country of capitalist and traditional elements, resulting in millions of persecuted citizens, closed schools and universities, destruction of cultural and religious artifacts, economic disruption, and immense social upheaval leaving a deep and lasting impact on China's political and cultural landscape.

After all this I simply can't understand how many people still defend this horrible ideology.

[sabdude]

Just imagine how developed China will be if all the smart people didn’t get purged

[drannoc]

The impact is traumatic on millions and generations of Chinese who together with the officials after Mao, called it ten-year Chinese Holocaust in their publications.

There is something eerily similar going on in America today

The real purpose was more likely using the anti-capitalist slogan as a facade to clean out his competitors/enemies.

Well, it is said that more cultural treasures (buildings, artifacts, etc.) were lost during the Cultural Revolution than in the whole of China's history. This is only logical when you consider that the dictum was that anything and everything related to the past was 'evil, and corrupt' and power was given to teenagers—ignorant of everything, eager to please, prone to emotional outbursts, unable to grasp subtleties or complex dynamics, and (especially) VERY easy to manipulate.



This is basically what would happen if you gave power to the woke youth in the West.

I wish it was texted with subtitles. My hearing isn’t good enough to both hear the music and the text-to-speech voice:(

People want drastic changes
But when you actually give them changes they cry and stand in the way of progress
Long live Mao memory, indeed China still sees the benefits of Mao's cultural revolution
For those who don't internalized the western narrative is a testament to how to execute a successful revolution and not letting anyone stand in the way of freedom for the working class.

Who agree that at least it's still better than islam/islamic country? At least they're developed country now...and meanwhile I'm watching this from Malaysia, a country that keep dragging back by islamic rules from moving forward.

China's culture has completely disappeared due to the Cultural Revolution in China. It is hard to find folk culture as well as Chinese imperial music. Only a few ethnic minorities in China are maintaining their own culture, but it cannot be considered as the culture of the Han Chinese in China. It is so pitiful. The spirit of China must be inherited, but it has been completely cut off. That is why the Chinese government says that other countries' cultures are its own. The Chinese people do not know what their own culture really is

Great research!!! And how come i never see these documenteries also on Mao Zedong 55-75 million, Genghis Khan 40+mill, Stalin 40+mill, Hitler 19 mill, Lepold II 10+ mill Paul Pot, Castro Idi Amin on HBO, A&E History channel. Its ALWAYS the Germun guy, when all these other guys took out so many more?

The Cultural Revolution is Mao's theoretical contribution to the philosophical socialist tradition and the international proletariate movement.

[Hugo-gq]

Viva o marxismo-leninismo-maoismo e a grande revolução cultural proletária

[whythelongface]

Reignite the fire of the great proletarian cultural revolution!
Hold all authority to account, and account for the needs of the working class for itself!
The masses need only to stand up and shatter the feeble rope of bourgeois indoctrination!
Chairman Mao, the World will remember you fondly. The only person who had the balls to give power to the masses! Red salutes to you and the Chinese comrades for setting a mighty precedent of development and social change! We learn from you and improve

[lazyicebear]

😂 be honest they won't achieve any thing they got now if they those idiotic things..

[robertlowe]

That's bc they finally opened up to the world. China realized that they are falling way behind & now made an AMAZING recovery. What you're see in the result of CAPITALISM!
