DESCRIPTION:Mao’s Genuine Socialist Revolution of 1949-76…and The 
 Counter-Revolution Being Celebrated by Today’s Capitalist Rulers of 
 China\n\nThis year on October 1, the world witnessed a sharp 
 contrast:police in Hong Kong beating protesters, while the authorities in 
 China (which has authority over Hong Kong) “celebrated” the anniversary 
 of the Chinese Revolution with parades featuring massive military 
 armaments.\n\nIn actual fact, the revolution has long since been betrayed 
 –overthrown after the death of Mao Zedong over 40 years ago. The current 
 rulers have kept some of the trappings of the revolution to bolster their 
 claims to legitimacy. But what was once a bastion of revolution now 
 brutally exploits its people, is engaged in backing the brutal suppression 
 of a powerful mass movement for basic rights in Hong Kong, and competes 
 with the U.S. to dominate the whole world.\n\nCome and learn about the real 
 Chinese revolution: land reform, the formation of communes in the 
 countryside, and the Great Leap Forward…the Cultural Revolution and the 
 role of the Red Guards…innovations in socialist planning, health care, 
 education, the new art that was created…and how women were unleashed to 
 “hold up half the sky.” And get into what Bob Avakian has analyzed of 
 the great breakthroughs and the problems of China when it was a genuinely 
 socialist society—and the reasons for the defeat of the revolution. 
 Avakian has qualitatively advanced the science of communism and the 
 revolution to emancipate humanity, and has forged the new communism, the 
 basis to initiate a new stage of communist revolution in today’s world.\n
