Inside Mao’s China: The unique personal stories of our protagonists combined with rare historical footage will give a new perspective on one of the 20th century's most controversial utopia. Inside Mao’s China tells for the first time about this period of recent Chinese history from the perspective of the small number of Western eyewitnesses, who were there at the time. These witnesses of history, cultures and political systems are among the few who have experienced the Cultural Revolution from the inside and are able to share their experiences without fear. Nevertheless, until now they had preferred to remain silent.

You’re faced between two decisions, so you do a cost-benefit analysis so to speak - “what’re the pros and cons to each decision?”, “Which will make me happier? Reach my goal?” - and you let your end (whatever goal it may be, maybe it’s saving time or money) justify the means (the action). In extreme cases, sure, it may fail to treat people how we feel they ought to be treated, but it’s a useful way of making rational decisions.

I have no idea why many people in the West were so fascinated and followed the ideology of Mao! his philosophy was one of supreme narcissism and self-protection.

A lot damages have caused by the generation during the Cultural Revolution in China. They lacked formal education and morals, yet they still hold power today. Their incompetence and corruption continue to harm China.

The ideological blindness, innocence of youth, gullibility, and naivete of some of the interviewees show it all. This is the price of being so idealistic over something you didnt actually understand when youre young. My 2 uncles were survivors of both Mao's catastrophic plans. They escaped in 1970, one the worst years of Cultural Revolution. They were wandering several countries from 1973-1979 before settling in Singapore. Up to this day, everytime they encountered people, mostly youngsters, who hold pro-communist/leftist views, they immediately chimed them up with direct perspective of living under the worst of communist system, Mao's China. It could still happen today as many idealistic youngsters, feeling so self-righteous, self-declared socialists, self-declared anti capitalists, never trully live under such an oppressive system. Socialism and communism are for the gullibles and the naives, that is the youngsters

You don't understand the revolutionaries who would give up everything in lives to their ideas and devotions. Prior to 1949, there were many slogans such as "beheaded not a matter, only my ...ism is true!", many of them could yell loudly when facing the gun point by the Nationalist Party: "long live Chinese Communist!", or "long live Soviet!", or "long live Chairman Mao!" etc. It's truly of their strong beliefs and faiths that made of them daring to satisfy own lives w/o blinking an eyelash. After 1949's revolution, many couples lived apart in different cities or country sides, of far away, only could meet once a year during the holiday season for a few days. It's all been "educated" as devotion on the revolution and progress thoughts, to sacrifice your own personal interests. So this French lady in 1992 was a fervent Maoist that's why she could eagerly want to seize the opportunity to see a Mao's China especially in this cultural revolution period which excited so many western countries' progress youths back then, by setting aside her 3 month baby.

@thelookass Stalin and Mao were not Fascists lol. Fascism doesn't just mean authoritarianism/dictatorship and/or totalitarianism. Marxism espouses a Dictatorship of the Proletariat. A class dictatorship. The proletarian dictatorship is held to have the right and responsibility to sweep away all that falls on "the wrong side of history", being the vehicle for (the realisation of) Progress. The peasantry, the merchants & bourgois townsmen, reactionary martial classes & aristocracy, the clergy... These classes are to be dictated to by the Proletariat. The Peasant inclusion was advocated by some from early on, but was by no means a given. It was practicality and circumstance that saw the revolutionaries acknowledge the "revolutionary potential" of the peasantry in the Russian Empire, and in the Asian countries/central & south America, the societies were agrarian peasant societies, so Mao too had to adjust to the "the material conditions". Many of the old timer orthodox Marxists felt Lenins tendency to be heretical, and Mao's was Leninism applied to a non proletarian society. It's pretty apparent that all manner of horrors were built into this Political-Philosophy, and the divisions and divergence in tendencies are aswell apparent, with all claiming the others are heretical and not true Marxists. None of this is Fascist.

The "success" of Stalin - the man who used to boast about having conducted the U.S.S.R. "from the plow to the atomic bomb in just a generation" - compared to Gorbachev's failure shows that a socialist economy is unable to function with a minimum of efficiency without requiring a massive dose of political violence. In an attempt to reform a decadent regime, Gorbachev moved faster with the process of economic opening in the hope of removing the predictable resistance that the Soviet bureaucracy would create to economic reform measures, as thorough proof with the failed attempt. coup d'état in August 1991 - which ended up precipitating the final crisis of socialism and the dissolution of the USSR itself Its Chinese parallel - Deng Xiaoping - adopted a logic diametrically opposed to that of Gorbachev: it prioritized the achievement of economic prosperity (adopting in practice capitalism) precisely to delay any attempt at political opening, as was evident with the acceleration of the economy. reforms after the Tiananmen Square massacre. It is important to note that it was Karl Marx himself who, in his Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, discerned the scenario in which the conditions for a social revolution process are formed, describing it as follows: “At a certain stage in its development, the material productive forces of society contradict existing production relations or - which is only their legal expression - with the property relations in which they have been active until then. From the forms of development of the productive forces, these relations are transformed into fetters of them. So, it is a time of social revolution. ' * By rejecting the pursuit of profit maximization as an instrument to stimulate innovation, socialist countries ended up condemning themselves to obsolescence. Thus, they lost the chance to incorporate the productivity gains made possible by technological progress. That is why the capitalist countries managed to provide a greater rise in the standard of living of their population, even without pursuing the egalitarian ideal. Therefore, until the “final crisis of socialism” (to paraphrase K. Marx's own definitions once again), it was only a matter of time. But religious fanatics do not give up on their faith, even against the indisputable proof of the facts, which completely refute it! * Reproduced according to MARX, K.

Bottom line, communism NEVER works, and it NEVER will. It requires a certain amount of deception to the public and a compliance from that public to adhere to whatever radical view is being pushed by the powers that be. Thing is....people aren't all the same, they're individuals. Some are much smarter than others and realize when they are being lied to, and then in turn inform their fellow citizens who dont see the deception right away. People want freedom above all...not to belong to a government, and they know what real freedom is, and it's not the lies spewed out by communists. As long as people still have a will of their own, and a desire to survive, not just physically but spiritually....communism will never be successful.

Leaving your child behind to go on an "adventure?" .......right. ok boomer.

And MILLIONS DIED. SO CHARMING

This is needed today 😂

Individual liberty is the only natural state of being. It’s not perfect and not everyone wins…but that’s reality. You cannot corral people into a utopia, many have tried and millions have died…only to say “that was not the right way to do it, my way will succeed!”. Sorry…wrong. I was born in the eastern bloc and seen it first hand.

No, they aren't. There's a reason that talking about Mao in today's China is taboo...and its because he was responsible for the deaths of over 45 million Chinese people. If this documentary used the wrong photos, that's their mistake....they're are literally thousands upon thousands of actual photos available on the internet from Maos China, if you'd take 2 seconds to look it up. And yes, they can be verified and have been verified by actual credible sources, not CCP sources. Though, If you live in China currently, I doubt you'll be able to pull the images up due to the great Chinese firewall you're amazing government has implemented upon your country to keep the Chinese citizens from reading any information that the CCP does not want them to know....such as the reality of the devastation caused by Mao and his followers.

Now I've heard everything....."Maoist Groupies". European Commies are weird.

I don't think that's mutually exclusive, as it turns out what is right and what is wrong has always been changing. Just 50 years ago it was considered right to segregate races in the US.

If you read the synopsis, it says that’s what the doc focuses on.

I love the people acting like Mao wasn't always a psychopath. If you read about his youth and his rise you will find he was always a narcissist bent on power, who abused and discarded women once they were no longer convenient to him, and had no "friend" he would not betray or murder to further his own power. Mao was never a sincere or good man with "fair" beliefs as some of the dolts in this video claim. He was always, ALWAYS a murderous psychopath.

This reminds me of sanctuary cities, wide open borders, “wokeness”, climate lies, and similar cultural rot

Society will never be humane, because there are some who want to be leaders. They may start with good ideals, but then money and power become a priority. I think that the best thing is to give opportunities to everyone so that they can manage and build their destine according to their potentials. As we think of a global community, I am reminded of the movie, The Hunger Games. God bless.

My family is from china. One side from the countryside and the other from Beijing. Beijing has always been great but for the countryside, things went really well after the civil war but great leap forward and cultural revolution were huge mistakes. Communism is a wartime ideology, not good for peace time. Vietnam, angola, and china after mao applied the lessons correctly by using communism to win wars, but then easing up and allowing liberalization during peace time

@@mysticmama_3692 socialism is a broad project of liberation. There has never been a communist state because that statement in itself is an oxymoron. The state is always oppressive by design and upholds capitalist interests in order to survive. Socialism is democracy, it’s self management, and communal ownership of a society based on solidarity, cooperations. China and the Soviet Union were capitalist and tyrannical states. Definitely not my view of “socialism”.
