Dont believe the hype!

What on earth is this photo about. Are we to ingest every sickening scrap of bourgeois propoganda? Duh, this whole site is about challenging what has been spoon fed to us every day for generations. The idea of putting Mao and Stalin in the same photo as Hitler smacks of some red scare menace--quick, check under the bed. That terror inspiring excercise in the meaning of DICTATORSHIP of one class over another has been ripped to shreds. Are you to drag us through that mire again. Read some history, not told through the eyes of haters of the peoples struggle for freedom. You might find that the chinese revolution was the farthest leap of human history to date. The very idea of a quarter of the worlds population taking over a state to serve the interests of the common working man must make your stomach turn. I'm reading now a book called Away with All Pests about a british doctor who went to work in red china(not to be confused with Deng's china). He talks about how they were able to use collectivity in the hospitals to do away with these oppressive and irrational divisions between doctors and patients. How they were able to integrate modern medicine with aspects of chinese herbal medicine. How great lengths taken to treat the masses of people in China. Technology and know how was not in the hands of the highest bidder but in the service of the people who participated in the development at every turn. Let him tell you about the ward meetings where doctors, patients, nurses and administrators all grappled with questions of treatment and procedure. Where even the most highly trained specialists were held up to criticism by the people. Not to tear down doctors or anyone but in an open and enthusiastic way that would help rectifiy errors and bring together different strengths of people to make the collective process stronger. VD once prolific in China was done away with with the invention of barefoot doctors and using the concious participation of the people.
I could go on...
Learn to read and study critically and whenever possible--go amongst the people. Ask them if they would want a state run in the interests of the people. Where people were valued over profit?
