The fact this writer felt he needed to use a pseudonym is revealing. He is trying to protect himself from the BLM/Antifa Red Guards.

It feels like Chinese are different - no conscience

I have felt this way from day one.

It is the exact same dynamic.

And for the same reasons.

Toward the end of the book, after enduring decades of arbitrary imprisonment for the crime of having been employed by Shell, Nien Cheng remarked that the Cultural Revolution was secular atonement for sin.

An interesting article, and a new website for me.

I knew a Chinese woman who was denounced by her neighbors during the Cultural Revolution, because one of them found out she owned a pair of silk stockings. They continued to be neighbors and colleagues many years later, and seemed pleasant enough in their relations.

I wondered, to her daughter, why she didn’t hate the neighbor who ratted her out for this ridiculous “crime?” The common sense answer was - what purpose would that serve? They will still have to live next to each other.

I think the huge difference between US and China is Mao's revolution was "bottom up", he went into the rural areas and sold peasants on his communist ideals, because China had very few wealthy and middle class and huge numbers of dirt poor, it was quite easy for the peasant class to crush those wealthy and middle class who were pretty much contained in the cities and take everything they had.

The BLM/Antifa "revolution" on the other hand is top down, it is mostly urban and suburban liberal intellectuals raising an army of inner-city minorities. The problem for them is that outside the major cities, their "revolution" has little to no support. It was far, far easier for Mao to march an army of rural peasants to besiege the cities than it would be for an army of BLM to march OUT of the cities and try to conquer the vast swaths of flyover country. Not to mention we have something Mao couldn't have dreamed of, a heavily armed populace in flyover country. It was estimated that in pre revolution China there was less than 1 gun for every 1,000 citizens. In the US with 320 million people and 600 million guns, it's more like 2 guns for every 1 person.

Extremely good article to give enlightenment to our present situation. Wow...

[Ouchthatonehurt]

IMO the situation in the US bears more similarity with South Africa than with China.

The best description of what it was like to live in and through Mao’s Revolution is by Cixin Liu in his “Three Body Problem”.

America’s cultural “revolution” does have similarities to Mao’s disasterous spasm. Academia has been purged of free thought and free speech. The Media has been long controlled Overt unpunished violence is occurring where the Marxists already control local government and law enforcement. The judiciary has been compromised so that Federal law is not enforced. Privlidged white children are enjoying their spasms of lunacy. The meanest Red Guards were the children of communists and communist wannabes. Mao of course had full control of China’s security apparatus. In fact it was only when he sensed the army was about to intervene against the nonsense, that he backed off.

The cultural revolution weakened China. Many of its best people left or were killed. The communist party became even more corrupt as the “red guards” become apparatchiks. Mao’s disasterous “one child” only policy weakened the army. Any military campaign that results in the loss of these “little emperors”, the only sons, results in political backlash and is a threat to the communists. America is not yet lost. Trump is still President and despite all, there is still to be a national election where the people can, if they are willing, reclaim their rights and preserve their nation.

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.
