  • Mao's Red Terror in China | History Documentary
    Watch 'End of a Superpower - The Collapse of the Soviet Union' here: • End of a Superpower - ...
    When Mao Zedong called for the “Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution” in China in 1966, the giant empire plunged into a decade of terror.
    In the name of communist ideology, China’s fanatical youth formed “Red Guards” and established a despotic rule in which children had their parents arrested, neighbors denounced each other, and unleashed mobs to beat “class enemies” to death.
    Its initiator Mao Zedong, who rose from a farmer’s son in the provinces to become the “Great Chairman” of the Chinese Communist Party, had united the Middle Kingdom after decades of civil wars - and proclaimed the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Thus, it transformed modern China into a new power factor in the Cold War of the great powers. When Mao met US President Richard Nixon shortly before his death, the disintegrating former Chinese empire had become a global economic power. The revolutionaries accepted the death of millions of people through the Red Terror as well as the destruction of civil society - a trauma from which China still suffers today.

    At the beginning of the cultural revolution, China very much followed Stalin’s and Russia’s lead. But that ended and two communist enemies emerged. This is the story of Mao and what he did to the Chinese Psyche. They called him the “great leader “
    The documentary gives a good overview of the situation in Asia from the 1930s until the 60s/70s. You get insight a lot of insight into the dynamics: why the Korean War happened, why two bombs were dropped on Japan and not only one. It’s a long watch and well worth it.

      Only the communists still call Mao Zedong the "Great Leader" because he was the first one who brought ruling communism to China. Pol Pot, the communist Khmer Rouge leader from 1975 to 1979, had a vision that he could do better that Mao for Cambodia: a Killing Field. Only when the people of China can openly express their voice and vote, and by only then they can exactly say who their "Great Leader" really is.

    The Red Waves of Terror, symbolized by the bloodbath unleashed by Mao and Ho in Southeast Asia during the 1960s and 70s, has left a lasting scar that extended into the Pol Pot Genocide of Cambodia, famously known as 'the killing fields,' following the Vietnam War. The legacies of the Mao Red Terror, Ho Red Terror, and the horrors of the Pol Pot Genocide all trace back to a common root: the bloodbath of communism in Southeast Asia in the 20th century. The question remains: could such atrocities repeat in the 21st century and beyond? This documentary is a poignant reminder of the dark chapters of history, and I appreciate you sharing it.

Though, uniforms can be a tool used to facilitate or brainwash people into collectivizing, depending on their willingness to consent.

      My wife's grandmother (who died 3 years ago) was a young teenager during those years. She refused to talk about it when we brought it up since we were both extremely interested in those years. Her father had been a minor landowner and the family lands were taken away, divided and given to others. Conveniently, the hardcore communists didn't leave them anything so they had to go live in the forest for years, scavenging and eating whatever they could find. Grandmother lost 2 siblings and 2 uncles -one disappeared and one killed- during the Cultural Revolution. My wife's father told us these things and also why grandmother didn't want to: After she had returned to the village, she was so thorughly brainwashed by Communists that she ended up believing everything that happened was entirely fair and she was lucky to be alive. Also, the years had been so hard that she barely survived and she felt physical pain thinking about the hunger, PTSD. They apparently often had to make soup out of grass and bark just to not go crazy from hunger. We never left anything on the plate whenever we ate with the family because grandmother would be visibly upset and uncomfortable seeing such a valuable thing as FOOD being wasted. Mao was a madman.

    Thank you for making this documentary! The atrocities, violence, brutality, and despair endured by people in China from the 1950s to the 1970s ought to be known by the world. The impact was widespread, affecting families across the country. The staggering death toll, likely comparable to or exceeding that of World War II. Families teared apart, and decades of economic, social, and educational progress lost. These events left deep psychological scars, instilling fear and a pervasive lack of trust in the society. Shockingly, these realities were never officially acknowledged or addressed in China, and many perpetrators of brutal crimes were never held accountable. Growing up in China during the 1970s and 1980s, these dark chapters were intentionally omitted from our history textbooks. We learned about them from the firsthand accounts of our parents' generation, who survived these tumultuous times and were deeply impacted.

      The TRUE modern China owes a lot to Mao and the Socialsit Revolution. Today it is the second economy in the world, the largest creditor of the United States, the Asian country has the largest middle class, is the largest manufacturer and is the largest exporter in the world, and is a leader in science and technology. Before Mao and the revolution, China lived immersed in anarchy, superstition, poverty, misery, profund social inequalityexploited by Western imperialist countries.

      @@Magno_o_Mago-iz1we millions of Chinese people died under Mao’s regime. China had such a rich and beautiful history but in every communist regime the beautiful foundation and institutions must be demolished and replaced with the communist approved systems. Did you know China was able to access the world trade system only because the USA gave them permission to enter during the 1970s under the Nixon administration?
      Many of the leaps forward in industry occurred because China has stolen intellectual properties from the United States off the backs of our engineering and scientific industries. Also, they operate using forced labor camps of Uyghurs and Falun Gong victims and others they consider dissidents in prison labor camps. This helps to keep costs down and enables them to compete with an advantage but at what cost to human dignity? Yes US corporations turn to China to manufacture for cheaper labor costs and the US government has foolishly accepted loans from China. Greed and corruption is prevalent in many societies. Chinese Citizens are controlled by surveillance and the social credit system. If you want to credit Mao then I agree with you for forced labor, stolen intellectual properties, and a the current surveillance state. That is not a place I’d call free and if it’s not free I wouldn’t call it a success.

      Unfortunately, there is no revolution without great mistakes and successes, and many deaths - all of this is humanly inevitable, but future history has shown that the revolution was essential to rid the country of backwardness, underdevelopment, inequality, landlords, and the colonial clutches of Western powers. .

    Thanks for showing - briefly - the chronology of those events from the 1930 s to 1960/70s in China, Japan and Korea for some of us still struggle to "ORGANIZE" those events together with the Americas and Europe.
    Mentioning the reason for the second bomb dropped in Nagasaki is also "educational" for the leftists in Uruguay (who've always messed up even our National History) use that 2nd bomb as "confirmation of how mean the U.S.A. is".
    Personally, I will always THANK you, Americans, for your never-ending efforts to MAINTAIN PEACE... or to REGAIN PEACE wherever that is required.
    Of course, some mistakes have been made - you're also "human" - but the Good Intention has prevailed. 👍🇺🇲👍
    I'm not a religious person, but I do believe that God knows who you are... and He won't let you down.

    What I've learned in old age....
    Capitalism will fail (Marxist theory is accurate),
    But communism will also fail (because Capitalism is needed to create innovation at a high pace).
    So I would put forward that soft socialism is the way to go. And whether its a democratic, communist, monarchy , or even dictatorship it actually doesn't matter as long as that government reach remains MINIMAL and secondary to socialist values...
    I say this because all systems of governance are far too easily corruptible, so a bottom to upward style rule is the best solution regardless of what's at the top....

    Socialism is the base of society. Socialism started when humans started living together forming society. Sharing work as per interest or capability, so no work can be undermined. Further whatever the person is, because of society, so only socialism. Socialism give rise to Equality - justice-peace-progress. Buddhism, Christianity,Islam all religion & democracy base of all is Socialism.

    对于所有质疑政府的人来说,请注意,权力掌握在群众手中,而不是上层阶级。当您站起来并为您的自由权利而奋斗的适当时机时,您将得到支持。准备好!你的国际自由权利正在酝酿之中,准备好为了你的血统而牺牲自己…….

    We have the advantage of retrospect. It is easy to say that "they were foolish " to follow such an idea as communism. However putting ourselves in the political context of the era the early 1900s, with all the suffering and political upheavals of the day, it does seems like a great way to alleviate the circumstance at that time

      No, it was the United States that brought about the thaw. Deng Xiaoping was Liu Shaoqi's successor. He launched a military coup to overthrow Hua Guofeng. He launched a crackdown on the private economy and the family planning system suppressed China's population.

    this was Mao Zedong's approach to purge China of Soviet agents. Liu Shaoqi and Zhou Enlai were both agents of the Soviet Union. Mao Zedong had no influence at the top of the military and intelligence agencies, so he could only mobilize the grassroots to suppress them. Without China's new entrants from North China, It is impossible for China to establish diplomatic relations with Western countries if grassroots cadres are allied with Mao Zedong. The first official private economy of the People's Republic of China was during the Cultural Revolution. Later, Deng Xiaoping suppressed the Gang of Four and used it as evidence of crime.
