Date: April 29th, 2024 3:39 PM Author: mentally impaired deranged institution In May 1966, with the help of the Cultural Revolution Group, Mao launched the Revolution and said that bourgeois elements had infiltrated the government and society with the aim of restoring capitalism. Mao called on young people to bombard the headquarters, and proclaimed that "to rebel is justified". Mass upheaval began in Beijing with Red August in 1966. Many young people, mainly students, responded by forming cadres of Red Guards throughout the country. A selection of Mao's sayings were compiled into the Little Red Book, which became revered within his cult of personality. In 1967, emboldened radicals began seizing power from local governments and party branches, establishing new revolutionary committees in their place. These committees often split into rival factions, precipitating armed clashes among the radicals. After the fall of Lin Biao in 1971, the Gang of Four became influential in 1972, and the Revolution continued until Mao's death in 1976, soon followed by the arrest of the Gang of Four.

Nazi youths. Stalinist students. Mao in China.
As for the US:
"The America half a century ago had plenty of protesters whom most Americans would regard as unreasonable today. Anti-nuclear protests, protests in favor of population control, the Weathermen’s “Days of Rage”, and many other leftist protests of the time look misguided or just plain stupid in retrospect — and that’s to say nothing of right-wing protests that were happening at the same time. We tend to remember the successful movements, like the Vietnam War protests or the Civil Rights marches, and forget about the ones that failed."
When lefty students are supporting terrorists and barbarians, hard to generate sympathy for them. Civil Rights and Vietnam wasn't about supporting terrorist and barbarians.
As it is, there is no right or wrong side of history. There's just history. |

a lot of the leftist protests against vietnam were pro-ussr/china/nva/castro etc, which in retrospect was horrific. Pre-1991 leftism went out of its way to defend a lot of terrible atrocities committed by communists. |
