(BLM founders L-R, Opal Tometi, Patrisse Khan-Cullors, Alicia Garza; Marx photo, "China In The Throes Of the Cultural Revolution," Louis Barcata, 1967) "A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so defined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another." ("Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse-Tung," Peking, 1967)
The Chinese Cultural Revolution was "mass murder of a country's heritage". (Enemies of the People, Anne F. Thurston, 1987, p. 105).
This is the third article in a series (links to 1 & 2) that compares today's American Cancel Culture Revolution to China's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (1962-1976).
In the mid-1960's, teaching the history of Communism in America's public schools generally went from seldom to hardly ever. It declined further after the official collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) on 31 December 1991. Today's BLM/Antifa street "protesters" likely know nothing about the combined body count of Stalin's Russia and Mao's China.
