China's Cultural Revolution:A Revolution Within the Revolution

Join Revolution Books in a discussion on China’s Cultural Revolution: A Revolution Within a Revolution, A Complex and Liberating Struggle for the Socialist Road. China’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution has been the object of lies, vilification and slander for some 40 years. But this was no fanatical purge, personal power grab by Mao, or exercise in mass slaughter. Instead the Cultural Revolution was a seismic eruption of liberation – a titanic battle, joined by tens of millions, to preserve and deepen socialism and prevent the restoration of capitalism. It showed what it means for society to be organized around radically different and liberating principles—cooperation, serve the people, and the continuing need to revolutionize all spheres of social life. And it contains many lessons for those who find the current world intolerable, and yearn for liberation.
