#Marxist #teacher who called for 'forceful #culturalrevolution' lands seat on state legislature

Tim Hernández said, 'I am absolutely advocating for a Cultural Revolution' https://www.foxnews.com/media/marxist-who-called-for-forceful-cultural-revolution-lands-seat-on-state-legislature

“The Left is waging a full-fledged #culturalrevolution against #traditional #America. And the #Maoist results are often as absurd as they are terrifying. Why are our government, corporations, and #popularculture colluding in mass suicide—to the delight of our enemies like #Communist #China?”

@Runyan50 Maybe #xi is planning to rekindle the #culturalRevolution . Maybe, like #mao , he'll have an ex-wife to blame for the collateral damage ;)

Interested in two veteran #PRC-based journalists discussing the mass psychosis of the #CulturalRevolution and how it's still reverberating across generations?

Looking for a video clip! Last seen on birdsite...

In 2020 Matt C Knight posted an entertaining video of somewhat excitable #CCP #RedGuards in full party mood having a blast in swinging late sixties London... at a typically chill British reporter. His account is now "protected" from public viewing.

Any twitter friends of Matt here? My youtube search for any such footage drew a blank, interestingly.

Text of the post: "Matt Knight on Twitter: "In Aug 1967 Red Guards stormed the British embassy in Beijing. This is what happened some days later when ITN reporter Bill Treharne Jones paid a visit to Xinhua News Agency’s London bureau."

The Long Way Home, by Sun Shuyun
In our family my grandmother was the symbol of the old beliefs. She was very devout. I think she was typical of her generation, but perhaps more so because she had a very tough life.

I've been interested in knowing more about the #TwentiethCentury #history of #China. I find the #ChineseRevolution fascinating, including #MaoTseTung and the so-called #GreatLeapForward or #CulturalRevolution and all it did. So far everything I've learned is how awful the Cultural Revolution was, and it seems a true and a fair assessment. But, everything I've found are Western accounts (see the video below) and not Chinese. I'm curious how the Chinese understand it.

@politicalscience Possible answers and behavioral patterns, rather than referring to the United States’s history, better following Western Europe‘s path, might be the Renaissance. To develop a Chinese version of the #Renaissance, which is digging into cultural roots, retranslating traditional Chinese #poetry, and recovering the #spirit of poets (like Bai Juyi and his fellows who supported the New Yue Fu Movement), exploring what was destructed by the #CulturalRevolution in 1966-1976.

Oh what?! The famous ウルトラマンティガ、Ultraman Tiga series have just been banned and taken down in #China’s “internet “!

It’s been more of accelerating than ever. Most of the reasons of is probably from the pressure of the parents: saying it contains violent content that could do harm to the kids.

What’s your point, #askfedi ?
