Nine Commentaries

Part 3b

In Part 3a, we heard that the CCP’s philosophy is one of “struggle” and that CCP’s rule has been built upon a series of “class struggles”, “path struggles” and “ideological struggles”. With it’s foundation built upon the philosophy of class struggle, the CCP has achieved is reign of terror by means of campaign after campaign of violent revolution resulting in class genocide.
Land reform was the elimination of the landlord class. Reforms in industry and commerce was the elimination of the capitalist class. Ideological reform was the suppression of all religious faiths. These struggles paved the way for communism to became the all encompassing religion in China.Part 3b: In 1957, Mao Zedong called upon intellectuals to “help the CCP rectify itself”. He promised no reprisals to those who voiced their view. This promise was hollow as Mao’s true intension behind this encouragement of expression was to “Lure the Snakes out of their holes”. This was the beginning of multiple campaigns to eliminate so called rightists. Tens of thousands of people lost their freedoms and were sent to labor camps for forced re-education. Over time, the Chinese intellectuals who traditionally had a great sense of responsibility toward the nation, were permanently silenced.
