America’s cultural revolution is just like Mao’s: To many who survived the crackdown in China, events in the US are frighteningly familiar

After leaving China for America two decades ago, my father only returned to his homeland once. I had turned 18, and I think he wanted to show me something of his youth, of which he spoke little. In the dusty village where he grew up, we met an endless stream of old men who wanted to see the village’s prodigal son. Gifts were offered and extravagant greetings were swapped. Then, after each visitor had departed, my father would tell me, matter-of-factly, what they did to him during the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. The harmless-looking retired cadre, now an amiable old man who pinched my cheeks, had been the village party secretary who forced my father to perform manual labour — running after cows with a basket to pick up the droppings — because, as the son of a landlord, he could not be trusted with an education. The local businessman, now on his second wife and third Audi, had belonged to a gang of high school children who beat him for being descended from counter-revolutionaries.

Communism has a stench of evil...

South Americans and Cubans are sounding the alarm too. And the rest of us are NOT happy the 'black community' is so willing to be played for fools by the commies in Black Lives Matter?

Can't they see that BLM doesn't give a damn about black lives UNLESS the black is killed by a cop? BLM wants an excuse to burn and loot and destabilize the country. Defunding police is a commie tactic. That will hurt the black community. Then only 'friends' of commies get protection......

Wake up black community... don't sell out...don't be played by every two bit loser that wants to use you.
