I remember while I was very young, I watched a documentary about the cultural revolution in China and it was said there that some kids ate their
teachers up because they hoped to gain their knowledge this way. I don't know how much truth was in that claim but you can expect anything from the
Chinese.
I read a few books about Mao revolution too, it's a fascinating thing to study and the testimonies of the people who lived through it are especially
interesting.
It's a bit of a pity that the video is more about the woke bulls**t than the history of Mao's China. I would be careful with making comparisons
between racial, minorities tensions (which appeared regularly in many countries throughout history, not just nowadays and in the US) and communism.
Generally, the more minorities the country has, the more tensions and struggles for resources and social privileges. Communism in practice was all
about solidifying the power of one leader or one party and redistribution of wealth i.e., the money was transferred from the bourgeoisie to the
working class (in theory only because in practice all the wealth was accumulated by the ruling party).
And in the US nothing like that happens. Capitalism is alive and well. No matter how much liberal woke crap is present, the rich remain rich and the
poor stay poor. They don't change places on a social ladder.
I wouldn't also compare the cancel culture and the PC to struggle sessions because we will reach some absurd conclusions that everyone giving us heat
publicly and pressuring us to back down and apologize is a communist. And that could include the boss yelling at us in front of coworkers or people
attacking us and moralizing online.
