Even Mao himself disowned the Red Guard in his last years. That says a lot about how out of control the Red Guard was.

How does it feel wanting to be part of an episode in Communist China which the government actually LETS you criticize openly in public and the media?

>How does it feel wanting to be part of an episode in Communist China which the government actually LETS you criticize openly in public and the media?

How does it feel to live in a country where the capitalist class rule is so strong that it is forbidden to even acknowledge the bloodsucking nature of their lives.

And besides, you can criticize in Communist countries. However, the criticism must always reflect the will of the people. There will be no capitalist revisionism disguised as 'criticism', thats all.

Can I get your autograph???

>>2560734
Oh no fuck that I wouldn't
Folks who spoke out at that time got offed not long after
I assume you mean the hundred flowers campaign

No because I'm not a reject who needs edgy provocative movements to "feel greater than myself".

Half of you monkeys are in it because you can't feel good as yourself, and the other half are doing it for pussy. You can't prove me wrong.

>>2560157
The appeal of mass movements is half the reason why the Trump campaign strategy boiled down to "Hold rallies and sell hats"

>>2560797

No after Mao's death and the power shift to moderates. Mao semi-disowned the Cultural Revolution, the head Red Guards were being put to trial, and the government started to allow people to criticize the Cultural Revolution as a harmful thing (can't say the government sucks, but can say the Cul. Rev. itself was bad. Small differences matter between life or execution).

It is one of the few things that the Chinese citizens are allowed to criticize about the government to this day.

>>2560778
>And besides, you can criticize in Communist countries. However, the criticism must always reflect the will of the people.

As defined by whom?

>>2560157
Yes and no. I fucking hate all that collectivist bullshit. It sometimes makes me feel almost physically bad. I feel like I'm surrounded by morons when in group-thinking crowds. However, revolutionary "on the barricades" experiences can have a great exalted beauty to them, because they interrupt he everyday consciousness - but the thought of the disgusting low-iq crowd that makes up the bulk of the mass movement shatters even that, since as a student of history one understands the horror such movements often result in. Experiencing the emotion of the mass happening does feel organic sometimes. One touches the divine, as the normally set patterns of society open up and the dignity of being, and of the unknown, emerge. One feels like life has great meaning. The experience is addictive. I think for low-intelligence types (most of humanity) there is even a quasi-sexual thrill in such experiences. Hence fascist erotism, etc. But the rational part of the mind realizes the ugliness of the collective, and rejects it.

No because im a lonewolf who bows to no man. Ever

Im kind of a rebel haha

Ive marched in a miltary parade. Its not that special, altho with music its kinda nice. You can sync your movement to the music and so does everyone else. In that way its like classical dancing.

No, it's not a meme. When I see large groups of average (thus, stupid) people performing rituals of obedience toward leader figures and rituals of neo-pagan fascist erotism... it seems very herd-like. It also seems potentially dangerous. I feel that such people might chimp out at any moment and try to seize other people's stuff - as the people in the photo, in fact, did.

>>2561061
You may actually be the biggest faggot on 4chan

>>2561698
Well, you just didn't understand what I was trying to say. To be fair, I didn't write it very well.

To summarize my point: times of revolution / mass political change can feel transcendent because the everyday consciousness is broken. But if you study history, you know that mass revolutions usually result in things getting worse.

Hillary Clinton didn't do shit.

When Bernie Sanders came to my part of New England he spoke at a pavilion in Roger Williams park in Providence, with the intention of using that big, wide open space in a centralized, easy to get to spot to draw as many people as he could.

When Hillary Clinton came she went to Central Falls High School, the smallest city (only 1 square mile) in the smallest state, surrounded by one-ways and is completely inaccessible to a large number of people and is a rough area mostly populated by poor Latinos and white trash. A high school auditorium couldn't hold nearly the number of people that Roger Williams park could, but it at least looked like she was packing a house when it's max capacity was only a few hundred people, which was fucking stupid considering that her little computer program picked that spot specifically because it was densely populated.

Bernie crushed her in Rhode Island.

Hillary's campaign strategy boiled down to "cheat your way through the primaries, play it safe in the general, don't say anything bold or risky, let a computer algorithm run your campaign for you"

Bitch deserved to lose. My only consolation is that the current president is in way over his head and has no clue what the fuck he is doing and can't even pass legislation when his party dominates every branch of government.

Well, he was right about that.

>>2561655
In what way did she do that? She had much smaller, more conventional campaign events with far less frequency. High School gymnasiums and community centers, stuff like that.
Meanwhile her website did push a variety of tee-shirts, but most of them were design by committee trash with no staying power. The rest were trying to cash in on the meme of the week. She herself would never be seen wearing this merchandise, sticking to a series of monochrome pantsuits. The rest of her strategy was "Stay out of the spotlight, don't answer any press questions, and let the media rip on Trump for me."

In contrast, during the final act of the campaign, Trump was holding four or five rallies a day, generally in stadiums or similarly large capacity areas. He would start into his speech, adding his commentary on the headlines of the day, but the main focus was provoking the audience into screaming catchy, easy to remember slogans that would get them amped up.

"Build a Wall!"
"Lock her up!"
"USA!"

Meanwhile, his merchandise was simple and tested in real time. The most iconic were the red and white MAGA hats, which were immediately successful because Trump himself routinely wore them, and because they had a simple message. Which no context, anyone can understand "Make America Great Again." "Stronger Together," "I'm with Her," "American is already great" and whatever else fail to send a simple and appealing message.
