The Cultural Revolution at 40

The great scientist has extended a hand to the proletariat!

China was during the Cultural Revolution.

The person with the most responsibility for the catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution is, of course, Mao, yet he remains China s savior. The children of Mao s senior cadres who enjoyed the greatest fame during the Cultural Revolution are now the principal beneficiaries of today s economic reforms.

Development is much more than reducing extreme poverty it involves a technological revolution, the creation of a middle class and the rule of law.

Either excellent traditional culture, revolutionary culture or advanced socialist culture is demonstrating unprecedented vitality.

Our proletarian supply detachment calls upon you to sign this sentence.

With all previous social classes transformed into the working class, and all means of production in the hands of an ever dwindling group of owners of capital, a proletarian revolution would lead humanity to a world of perfect justice From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs, as Marx famously put it.

What impudence! The bourgeois have been done with!

The old proletariat and the old bourgeoisie are gone. Instead we see what has sometimes been called a levelled in middle class society, albeit one with an important elite of the super rich at one end and an underclass at the other.

Then came the debt crisis of the 1980 s, the extreme nbsp structural reforms and financial collapses of the 1990 s, and a new global downturn in 2001. Such traumatic events plunged these countries into the so called middle income trap unable to grow nor to continue broadening their middle classes.

There are only four periods in the last 500 years where media has changed enough to qualify for the label revolution.

He was a middle class guy.

But middle class and working class families would benefit more if the hyper cheap products and services, free information, and virtual leisure experiences augmented, rather than eroded, their marketable skills. The politician who can figure out how to steer the revolution accordingly might never lose another election.

So this is what went right.

Mao s Cultural Revolution was launched 40 years ago this month, yet, despite 20 years of economic liberalization, its wounds remain a taboo subject. Today s rulers dare not face up to their own experiences or moral responsibility.

In raw numbers, the one child policy s human toll has been even greater than that of Mao s Great Leap Forward, which caused a famine that killed around 36 million people from 1959 to 1961. And it exceeded that of the Cultural Revolution, in which large scale political violence likely caused as many as another ten million deaths from 1966 to 1976.

There is a very small, very rich class (frequently described as feudal) from which most of the political elite come, and a large majority of very poor people, with a relatively small middle class in between.

This type of polarization has been going on in the United States for decades, and it is taking place in Europe too with important consequences for society.

The Communist Party s official verdict, undoubtedly the product of fierce ideological disputes, is that he was a great Marxist and revolutionary, whose gross mistakes during the Cultural Revolution were outweighed by his contribution to China. His merits, it argues, are primary and his errors secondary.

Basically this was also a major outbreak, a culture of dissent, a culture of basically non conformism, which was not known before.

And the first was the cultural and social revolution of 1968 and 1970s, which put the individual at the center of politics.

Asia s Almighty Middle Class

In a speech marking the Great Helmsman s 110th birthday in late 2003, he declared Mao to be a great proletariat revolutionary strategist and theorist. While Deng had castigated Mao s leftist errors, Hu s hagiographic address made no mention of his manifold blunders.

That reveals how much the country has changed in the last four decades, and how large and influential its middle class has become. It was precisely that middle class, fed up with allegations of corruption and a sluggish economy, that turned against the ruling Workers Party (PT) and voted for change.

Immigration and the New Class Divide

Which wine to drink, which fork to use for fish... which knife to stab the proletariat in the back with.
