"Day and night the city resounded with the loud noise of drums and gongs … looting and the ransacking of private homes … The violence of the Red Guards seemed to have escalated. … Articles in the newspapers … encouraged the Red Guards and congratulated them on their vandalism. They were … exhorted to be fearless in their work of toppling the old world and building a new one based on Mao’s teachings."

"The newspaper announced that the mission of the Red Guards was to rid the country of the ‘Four Olds’: old culture, old customs, old habits, and old ways of thinking. There was no clear definition of ‘old’; it was left to the Red Guards to decide. First of all, they changed street names."

It has all happened before.
These sound too familiar.
Fascinating account of the terror used by Mao to usher in a Totalitarian Government.
Hopefully the US transition to communism will be less lethal and the population will succumb without a fight.
After all even the children (all under 21 years of age, not old enough to smoke cigarettes yet) of the once powerful US Military haven’t won a war in our lifetimes. They couldn’t beat the Taliban for instance, who had no Navy, no Armored Divisions, no Air Force (not even a single plane).
The US is a pathetic mind-controlled bunch of Tell-A-Vision watching idiots. They believe in Fairy Tales. They literally believe everything the US Government tells them.
Sounds like the secret police the Trump administration has been using on it's own citizens
When the race war starts. It will all be taken care of. WATCH.
Antifa, rioters, Democrats.
Proud boys, white supremacists, Republicans.
9:15 so you are saying that Antifa and rioters were released by the President...? This is the problem with blaming all your problems on democrats without thinking for 2 more seconds instead of just 1.
9:31 AM - You're confused. Those three named entities are reading from Mao's Little Red Book.
"What difference does it make"?
Hillary Clinton secretary of state under Obama
After a raid on Benghazi and several US Soldiers were killed.
LMAO. You mean OBAMA. Your Muslim King deep state Traitors.
@August 11, 2020 at 8:52 AM . Trying to direct responsibility from the democrats is not going to work. WE all know the democrats are responsible for the violence in America. It was all planned by them to try and sway people form voting for Trump again. Not going to work. WE are smarter than you. Trump 2020. Get out your butt salve.
August 11, 2020 at 7:05 AM. If you have such a problem with America, then why are you still here, chump? I bet you have no problem with American money being in your pocket, huh fool?
