The Deprogram

Unlike most literature and documentaries in the anglosphere, this video actually explains the premise, the build-up, and process of revolution under the CPC and PLA. It goes through the plans and their executions by the peasants during the land reform era. It also addresses various clashes and criticisms within the party.

Every event mentioned here is provided with contexts. It is contradictory to the typical liberal accounts of this era in Chinese history where Mao Zedong is portrayed as an evil, autocratic, totalitarian dictator who killed 100 million people instead of the historians actually talking about the roles of millions of peasants, the proletariat, and the national bourgeoisie working cooperatively to save a nation from the most impoverished & humiliating stage of its history and turn it into an economic miracle! Which is incredibly funny because the liberals and the right-wingers in general are so hungry for contexts and nuance when talking about neoliberal & fascist historical figures. That historical context & nuance is discarded once they start talking about socialist revolutions.
