Film and photos of great revolutionary leader Mao Zedong and scenes from China during the revolution and under his rule.
A man (NOT a God) who made many mistakes, but undeniably a great military and political genius who changed the worlds most populous country forever, and inspired revolutionaries and progressives all over the world. To this day, he is still an influential force, not just in China but also inspiring Maoist People's Wars in Nepal (Prachanda), Peru, Colombia, India, The Philippines, and also potentially in Bhutan.
Since Deng Xiapoings coup, the Chinese Communist Party has largely put forward policies based on introducing market elements into the economy, creating an increasing wealth gap, social divions, the re-emergence of class antagonisms, a clique of Party bureaucrats and corruption. The Chinese Communist Party's official position on Mao, from a resolution adopted in 1981, is thus:
"Comrade Mao Zedong was a great Marxist and a great proletarian revolutionary, strategist and theorist. It is true that he made gross mistakes during the "cultural revolution", but, if we judge his activities as a whole, his contributions to the Chinese revolution far outweigh his mistakes. His merits are primary and his errors secondary. He rendered indelible meritorious service in founding and building up our Party and the Chinese People's Liberation Army, in winning victory for the cause of liberation of the Chinese people, in founding the People's Republic of China and in advancing our socialist cause. He made major contributions to the liberation of the oppressed nations of the world and to the progress of mankind."
The video features some popular songs from the Cultural Revolution (taken from very old and crackly 45rpm records!).

any person who critises revolutionary causes, socialist, natianlist, anything against imperialim is a cunt who just loves looking at naked women in bikinis, how many people in developing countries would do that
DOWN WITH WORLD TRADE CENTRE, WORLD BANK DOWN WITH IMPERIALISM, LONG LIVE REVOLUTION. If anyone critices revolutionary causes not just in china then i know he is a US imperialist
The true greatness of China was its traditional philosophy ..but Mao destroyed all memory of the past. He destroyed 4000 years of China.
And what does China have to offer the world
philosophically? The Thoughts of Chairman Mao? It cant be traditional Chinese philosophy..that was crushed into extinction by the beloved Chairman who simply erased the past..permanently.
ehunter2: You're giving the Chairman too much credit for erasing the past. The traditions of Old China are still among us in China today. Traditional Chinese culture is well preserved in small and medium sized cities and rural China, which constitute 70 % of China's population.
