III Tzeu lou disse: – Se o príncipe de Wei esperasse que você administrasse os assuntos públicos com ele, qual seria o seu primeiro cuidado? – Dar a cada coisa o seu verdadeiro nome, respondeu o Mestre. – Isso é razoável? Replicou Tzeu lou. Mestre, você está a afastar-se do objetivo. Para que serve essa redefinição dos nomes? O Mestre respondeu: – Como você é rude! Um homem sábio evita dizer ou fazer o que não sabe. Se os nomes não são corretos, a linguagem não é adequada. […] Um príncipe sábio dá às coisas os nomes corretos, e cada coisa deve ser tratada segundo o significado que lhe deu. Na escolha dos nomes ele é muito atento. Confúcio, Os Analectos (Lunyu).

To bolster Deng’s effort, Mao endowed him with penultimate authority over the Party, government, and military. However, in late October, Mao turned on Deng, and within five months, Mao and the radicals toppled Deng from power. As a foreign student at Peking University, David Zweig observed and photographed four key points in this historic struggle: (1) the initial establishment of a “big character poster” compound at Peking University; (2) emotional mourning for Zhou Enlai in Tiananmen Square following his death: (3) the intensified assault on Deng in February 1976 in the posters at Peking University; and (4) the massive demonstration of support in Tiananmen Square on 3-4 April for the end of Maoist politics.

Revolutions are fought and new socialist states are established country by country. These states must defend themselves; socialist countries have had to devote significant resources to defending themselves from political isolation, economic strangulation and military attack. And they must stay on the socialist road by reinvigorating the revolutionary process and unleashing the political initiative of the masses of working people in all areas of society.1 However, socialist countries cannot be seen as ends in and of themselves. They are not secure as long as imperialism and capitalism exist anywhere in the world.

  • Andreas and Dong 2016 (Forthcoming)
    The tumultuous history of “big democracy” in China’s factories Joel Andreas Johns Hopkins University Yige Dong Johns Hopkins University We would like to thank Lingli Huang and Shaohua Zhan for their help with the research on which this paper is based, and Mark Frazier for helpful comments on an early draft. 1 The tumultuous history of “big democracy” in China’s factories Abstract This paper compares two fateful experiments conducted in China during the Mao era that encouraged freewheeling criticism of Communist cadres: the 1957 Party Rectification campaign and the early upheavals of the Cultural Revolution (1966-1968). Through a content analysis of articles published in the Chinese Communist Party’s flagship newspaper, People’s Daily, we first show that the two movements shared characteristics that made them very similar to each other and remarkably different from all other mass campaigns carried out during the Mao era. We then examine the differences between the two movements by investigating how they unfolded in factories, based on interviews with workers and party cadres. Key elements of the strategies Mao pursued during the Cultural Revolution, we argue, can be interpreted as responses to the unmitigated failure of the 1957 campaign. In comparing the two movements, we highlight the evolution of the term “big democracy,” which was uniquely associated with these two episodes, but was deployed very differently in the Cultural Revolution than it was in 1957.

    A Facing History and Ourselves Study Guide Teaching RED SCARF GIRL Created to Accompany the Memoir Red Scarf Girl, by Ji-li Jiang A Facing History and Ourselves Study Guide Teaching RED SCARF GIRL Created to Accompany the Memoir Red Scarf Girl, by Ji-li Jiang Facing History and Ourselves is an international educational and professional development organization whose mission is to engage students of diverse backgrounds in an examination of racism, prejudice, and antisemitism in order to promote the development of a more humane and informed citizenry. By studying the historical development of the Holocaust and other examples of genocide, students make the essential connection between history and the moral choices they confront in their own lives. For more information about Facing History and Ourselves, please visit our website at www.facinghistory.org. The front cover illustration is a section from a propaganda poster created during the beginning of the Cultural Revolution (1966–1968), the same years Ji-li describes in her memoir. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China 1949, government and party officials used mass- produced posters as a way to promote nationalism and convey the values of the Communist Party. Propaganda posters were especially important during the Cultural Revolution, and this poster represents many dominant themes of this media: the glorification of Mao, the color red symbolizing China and the Chinese Communist Party, and the depiction of youth as foot-soldiers for the revolution. The slogan on the poster expresses a popular anthem of the era: Chairman Mao is the Reddest Reddest Red Sun in Our Hearts.

  • Text 30 Capitalist Restoration
    TEXT 30 A GENERAL PROGRAM FOR CAPITALIST RESTORATION _A! Analysis of "On the General Program for All Work of the Whole Party and the Wnole Nation,' Cheng Yueh The great struggle against the Right deviationist wind to reverse ver- dicts is pressing ahead from victory to victory. The revisionist program of "taking the three directives as the key link" set forth by that unrepentant capitalist roader in the Party has come under penetrating criticism by Chairman Mao and by the whole Party, the whole army and the people of the whole country. Chairman Mao pointed out: "What! 'Take the three directives as the key link'! Stability and unity do not mean writing off class struggle; class struggle is the key link and everything else hinges on it." This instruction by Chairman Mao fun- damentally and explicitly points out the reactionary essence of "taking the three directives as the key" in negating class struggle as the key link and the Party's basic line, in opposing the dictatorship of the pro- letariat and in restoring capitalism. A small number of people once held that "taking the three directives as the key link" only involved the question of "formulation." Well, then, let us take a look at an article written under the instigation of that unrepentant capitalist roader in the Party. The article, entitled "On the General Program for AII Work of the Whole Party and the Whole Na tion" (here under the "General Program" for short). In even blunter words, it thoroughly exposes the program of "taking the three direc- tives as the key link" dished up by that unrepentant capitalist roader in the Party as a program for all-round capitalist restoration.
