Because he was becoming unpopular and losing political power after the most deadly famine in Chinese history.
ugh sovl
Yeah because you really need communism to stop doing that.
but unironically, see 2:18
>In rural villages like this foot-binding continued right up until the 1950s, it wasn't until that point that the government enforced a law banning what it then deemed was a backwards practice.
The Ming didn't stop it. The Qing didn't stop it. The warlords didn't stop it. The RoC didn't stop it.
The RoC pretty much ended foot binding by 1949. Only in shitholes like Yunnan did the communists managed to end it. Another example of authoritarians celebrating their predecessor's achievements.
Why would high iq people think this was a good idea?
chinks have a foot fetish on a genetic level.
Foot binding was outlawed during the nationalist rule you fricking moron. You are almost as bad as those fricks who point to literacy rates when someone mentions the mass murder of communist regimes
Yeah. Just like serfdom in Russia was abolished in the 1860s but commie revisionist homosexuals act like it survived until the revolution, after which they forced peasants to work on collective farms that was totally not serfdom. They are disngenuous subhumwn liars who are counting on ignorance of their audience
>why did a communist push to achieve the end goal of communism
hmmm
where'd you learn that from? a youtube video, or /misc/?
inciting violence
Its no... Its souls...
Chinksects were always sovlless
Communism is a sick, evil religion.
True
>Communism is a sick, evil religion.
That is one wise slab of pork.
what was chinese culture before communist revolution?
Terracotta statues, rice farmer straw hats, Confucius say, dancing to gong beats, the new year festival with dragons and fireworks, shaolin, kung fu and cool magic shit
>Gu poison, so the stories went, was collected by sealing venomous snakes, scorpions, and centipedes in a jar and forcing them to fight and devour each other. The surviving creature containing a concentrated toxin. Gu poison was considered a slow-acting poison. It was said to have no taste, allowing unsuspecting victims to go about their normal lives for as long as 10 days before they started feeling ill.
>Transcendental whistling was an ancient Daoist technique of long-drawn, resounding whistling that functioned as a qigong or transcendental exercise. A skillful whistler could supposedly summon animals, communicate with supernatural beings, and control weather phenomena.
Sounds horrible, at least now China is modern and is obviously sure to dominate the 21st century.
Check your local Chinatown
The same as it was after it. I'm not gonna name the author or the book because it always triggers certain bot posting copypastas, but I remember comparing that book with the stuff some modern expat material(youtube, blogs etc.) and it seems Cultural Revolution has failed. What has changed may be just down to general modernization.
20,000–30,000 civilians eaten

礼儀, politeness, bowing, more of this confucian stuff and more that you would see much rather in modern Japanese than commie infested Chinese. And this was during late Manchu rule.
go to Taiwan or Hong Kong to see. China would be a far more interesting place. A lot of Chinese culture has to be taught to mainlanders, but it's just in the background already for people in Taiwan.
No, even Taiwan is only an imitation - when it suits them. Taiwan has equal amounts of Japanese and Chinese influence and they were never truly part of China proper. Southern Ming ruled it for a few decades, then the Manchu Qing left it to rot.
If you mean Waishengren, I'll agree. But the culture is inextricable from the soil. There's a reason Chinese democracy wouldn't be as easy as a Taiwanese.
Watch Shaw Brothers movies
Looks similar to contemporary Western culture.
>becomes
the best I think the commies did was eradicate opium addiction HARD
>rightoids still parrots Mao's version of the cultural revolution
Useful idiots to the end
IQfy is becoming a very strange place now we have people unironically defending Mao Zedong and the cultural revolution.
I wonder if this is an extension to just /misc/ people becoming massively pro-China simply because the western world has swung against them. Now they have to even start defending tone of the most inexcusable fricked up time periods in Chinese history (1959-1976).
I would unironically give anything to be able to participate in a Cultural Revolution part 2 in the US. I get hard just thinking about it.
Did you go out smashing windows with the other lumpenproles in summer 2020? It was and probably will remain the closest revolutionary larp in USA for a while
No.
Let me guess you have a circumcised Marxist micro penis.
Stay the frick out of red states boy.
You’ll never, ever do shit lmao. Nothing. How’s it feel knowing you’ll never do anything? Not a single thing?
That's some of it but a large part is actual paid CCP shills that have been here for years now since Xi's election.
i don't think they are paid. They are just extremely contrarian teenagers. China is hated across most of the western world now, PEW polls show that pretty strongly as does any major site you visit. Usually these teenagers react to this shit by starting to shill the exact opposite, which in this case means defending China 24/7 online.
A lot of them are not American as well. Many will be from countries like Serbia, Macedonia and these other countries that are not fans of the US. I don't think they even like China that much as much as they hate the US, they just support anyone who may disturb American dominance. They used to shill very hard for Russia but they've just revealed they are a total paper tiger so now they are putting all their chips on China instead. What is weird though is there is actually no need to defend Mao and all of Chinese history, just admit that Deng Xiaoping turned the page and it's been getting better since then. The fact that they even go as far to defend Mao and the cultural revolution makes me believe there is something far more sinister at work, perhaps other hidden sites or discords that are feeding them talking points to spread here.
It makes me wish that every board on this site had flags.
They just use VPNs so it’s no good.
I don’t know why all boards don’t have thread trips though, or whatever it’s called, to stop samegayging
>I don't think they even like China that much as much as they hate the US, they just support anyone who may disturb American dominance.
This is a constant I notice for any Chinese shill in English. You'd swear they'd much rather it be any other country they can piggyback on to for their anti-American views. There's little to zero enthusiasm in genuine Chinese culture being the world's top cultural force that isn't backed with an anti-Western agenda.
Look at the /hist/ archives. Search "CPUSA" - its been confirmed some of their members literally shill here. Literal Communist losers come here to push their garbage.
It’s Reddit commies shitting in the soup of discourse.
It's a combo of trannies, diaspora and paid Chinese shills
/misc/ is not pro-China lol
check in one them again. Its coming alongside with their Russophillia
They are very deluded if they think China will save the white race. If China somehow becomes the world's hegemon they will be pushing the same lgbt ideology as the US is right now.
they are deluded enough to think russia will do it, literally the first country to make homos legal
Could it be....that this is a history board and the bloodshed of the cultural revolution is basically nothing if you compare it to Chinese history in general
>replace actual culture with manufactured culture whose tenets were primarily determined by the politics of the moment
>almost nobody connects with it at all
wow the socialist intellectuals were wrong again. Who could possibly have foreseen the smartest, ablest and most humble people in the world - college kids who talk to each other with big words a lot - failing to understand even the most basic aspects of human nature?
A few years earlier Mao told intellectuals to speak out against his regime. He then arrested and killed those who did. The ones who were smart enough to smell the trap and keep quiet were basically beaten and/or killed for reading books or studying anything other than Mao Zedong thought during this time period. Who the frick was there to speak out against all of this? Even Zhou Enlai almost lost his head near the end of it all.
I'm talking about the socialist intellectuals who fomented and led all the communist revolutions in the first place. Yes, they did then immediately kill all competing intellectuals, that is definitely their style.
look at the case of bin liao.
Evola called Mao an idiot and predicted he'd fail and that China's modern problems would be Muslim terrorism.
My theory is that the Cultural Revolution was inevitable, given the circumstances of the time. Mao could not have stopped it and he did not start it. What the Cultural Revolution boiled down to was a intra-CCP conflict between the new proles and those whose families had taken part in the CCP from earlier on.
Lmao it was so fricking cool...
imagine being 16 and being legitimized in causing havoc.
as a person who lives in a muslim country he unironically did nothing wrong. all 3rd world nations should have had a cultural revolution but with less violence against intellectuals.
>inb4 muh sovl
yeah so much sovl in inbreeding with your 4 cousins, drinking camel piss and arsenic water and giving all authority to religious morons that know nothing about politics or economics.
think hard about if that's what you really want, muslim bro
t. westerner
false dichotomy. there are far more options than just westernoid liberal bullshit or superstitious theocracy.
china is the perfect example of this.
The only path for a westernized Muslim state is US wienersleeve, which means LGBT flags flying from mcdonalds.
>b-b-but muh ba'athism, muh gaddafi
They all get toppled by the great satan, your options are goatfricker or globohomo, sorry bro
Are you from Iran? You should come to LA
Cultural revolution china is very SOVLful
It only became a husk when it adopted capitalism
It eventually failed though. In 2022 I would argue South Korea is 10x more soulless than Mainland China.
That’s because Koreans think the US is the epitome of success. To be successful means to be more American, they even get circumcised and follow American religion
He was slowly getting mogged by nationalists in the PRC
They are at least trying to bring it back, even Winnie the Pooh said that Chinese culture is important for modern China.
South Korea is the real souless husk of the east.
