because China didn't really exist
it was divided into 5 races and identities
Communism genocided the former rulling Manchus and then transform the rest into a formless grey goo.

when you erase the past, the future looks a whole lot brighter because the people have nothing to compare it to. Just kill or exile the elderly and then basically everyone has no knowledge of life before your Maoist escapade

they did have some fucking catchy songs though

The Chinese are actually humanoid insects. They don't think like normal people.

The idea is to destroy the old ways and replace them with socialism and communism. It's basic Marxism.

More chinese propaganda pics, this is hilarious

Socialism.
It's not like they have not tried to destroy culture in the west too.

>Why aren't the workers rising up like we asked them to?
>It must be false consciousness/ideology/bourgeois party infiltrators
>Let's have a revolutionary vanguard/purge/Cultural revolution

They were revolting against culture.

Mao was a literal retard and the Chinese aren't people
>hey lets reduce sparrow populations no way this'll backfire!

Communists hates the past.

is communism autism?

Peasant Revolution. The old upper classes that maintained the chinese high culture had to go.

Because it's the price of gommunism

>why?

Communists destroy. This is an axiomatic fact.

>The idea is to destroy the old ways and replace them with socialism and communism. It's basic Marxism.

sort-of. Marx was saying that capitalism would destroy or sort-of unite cultures (through consumerism/degeneracy and changes in lifestyle due to new technological, economic, and social circumstances). and socialism would basically be sort of "essential" or like "the only reasonable way forward" (like classical liberalism was essential for nations stability and growth in the 19th century)

with Lenin-types though you've got this retarded idea that the revolution is possible in backwards agrarian nations and that to make it possible you need a vanguard party who can supervise the industrialization/etc.


Mao's whole thing with the cultural revolution was "chinese culture is too smug and stale for it's own good, it's suffocating itself"

I don't think you understand a single one of those words outside of "This is an"

Trying to do in ten years what western countries did in a hundred years. It worked.

>French Revolution
>destroys France
>Russian Revolution
>destroys Russia
Are you getting a sense of what revolution is about, OP?

>Russia, China, and former western colonies were not industrialized to some degree already.
>not any strong central government could accomplish rapid progress.

whew lad.

If you mean industrialization then the Cultural revolution had nothing to do with that. It even shrank the size of the economy while it was going on.

French Revoultion didn't destroy France. It was the monarchists' wars of aggression on France and Napoleon.

This.

Communism is the biggest mistake ever.

>whew lad.

In terms of getting standardized schools and culture across the whole country, they did it in ten years; it took the western world a hundred years to get everyone in the country as part of the same culture.

I don't mean industrialization.

>here's your (you)

Meiji Japan managed to it just as quickly with out communism and the bloody purges.

Peter the Great did to Russia.

Lee Kuan Yew did it to Singapore after independence fro England.

Syngman Rhee did it in Worst Korea in the 50s and 60s.

The Kim Dynasty fails to do it in Best Korea.

>Meiji Japan managed to it just as quickly with out communism and the bloody purges.

They already had it.

>Peter the Great did to Russia.

No, he didn't.

>Lee Kuan Yew did it to Singapore after independence fro England.

Yes, he did.

>Syngman Rhee did it in Worst Korea in the 50s and 60s.

Yes, he did.

>The Kim Dynasty fails to do it in Best Korea.

Incorrect. They did it when Rhee did it, it was about as effective.


I'm talking about the development of a centrally controlled national identity through central control over the education system. Peter the Great united Russia into a more effective bureaucracy than what came before. Japan came into industrialization with this already completed, even down to mutually intelligible Japanese across the whole country; Meiji era industrialization was greatly simplified by this, other 'Meiji candidates' missed this essential element.

oh and Ataturk.

He took the shambles of a backwards Ottoman Empire and created a new Turkish nation. While being being a democratic nation.

Now they say tiananmen square massacre didnt happened

"Culture" only deserves to be destroyed

> China was industrialized
Really, dude? I give you Russia and such, but the imperal China was a backwater.

I think they just don't talk about it. As points out it's not like they really care anyway.

>Lee Kuan Yew did it to Singapore after independence fro England.

Singapore has a colonial education system that wasn't batshit awful though.

coastal cities under colonial rule of the european powers. Manchuria got improved some by Japan.

Qings might have been backwards fucks. Though some progress did happen in the 19th and first half 20th century.

It was intended to create a blank slate for the Chinese civilisation, achieved through anarchy.
But Mao (mis)guided(?) by the gang of four used it to cleanse the government of
'reformers'/capitalists/political opponents.

After the Red Guard went out of control, Mao took control and sent them to the countryside.
The Gang of Four were later prosecuted after Mao's Death and brought to justice.

And that started a downward spiral that the
Maoist faction in the Chinese political scene
never recovered from.

As usual, Mao receive none of the blame becuz he is too central to the Chinese state.
So in China and among the Older generation of
Chinese, the Cultural revolution and the Great
Leap Forward are known as Mao's 2 Greatest
Mistakes.

Among the Younger Generation, there is a third
problem, the Chinese population actually rose
to its fullest extent under Mao.

>So yeah, overpopulation.

Grow a brain, censorship only keep people from saying things in public.
Everyone in China know about Tiananmen massacre, the just don't talk about it in public.

>Everyone in China know about Tiananmen massacre
Maybe most, but I've spoken to many in Uni who know nothing about it.

Maitreya Buddha names it as Red guards' disturbance, not Cultural Revolution.

Mao Zedong was one of the evil deity Sakyamuni's incarnations.

There was a Beijing Massacre (?) but not on Tiananmen Square.

The Tiananmen square protests was arguably successful.

Because the Chinese constitution was changed (Included 'democracy' in its clauses and eight parties were formed).

The Students received unexpected support from the labor unions who threaten to shut down the whole country if the govt harm any of the protestors.

Most of the students (Moderates) cleared the square at the military-issue deadline.

It is only the radicals who brought their own
weapons (Molotovs/small firearms) that fucked
everything up. During the Beijing massacre, the
radicals, along with some of the citizens
barricaded part of the city with buses and heavy
vehicles. They threw Molotov cocktails on the
military personnel who tried to break through,
killing the first wave.

Then the Military decided to fuck it and shoot them into submission. That is how the Beijing Student 'Massacre' started.

Coincidentally, the 'radical' student leaders
were granted 'asylum' in the US and issued 'Ivy
league' scholarships to prestigious colleges like
Harvard/Yale.

You know this is a history board right?

>let an edgy sperglord rule the country

What did they expect?

>Muh Cultural Marxism

>Feminism
>Diversity and multiculturalism
>Progressivism
>In general liberalism

Implying these aren't ideologies that eschew the old, and are trying to recreate society into something else than it was before.

It's not even about "muh cultural marxism" because such a boogieman doesn't even need to be constructed when ever leftist flat out says what their mission statement is.

he's not wrong though, Tovarish.

>things are changing
>must be communism

Leftists are trying to alter society. Oh wow. So is every political group. You just label it as insidious when your enemies do it.

I suppose they viewed the Chinese traditional system that derives from the monarchy as a form of oriental bourgeois.

But I'm gonna go ahead and chock it up to violent and radical regimes like Mao's, survive and thrive by placing an enemy into the equation for the population to distract themselves with while the country is restructure to serve the new communist elite.

The Cultural Revolution was a huge success. There was working class direct action in denouncing lots and lots of reactionaries like Deng Xiaoping, who got expelled from all parts of the party and the state apparatus. If not for the Cultural Revolution these elements would have consolidated power even sooner.

revisionists are always to blame

>The Cultural Revolution was a huge success.

are you fucking high?
