Cultural Revolution (1966-1968)
The Cultural Revolution is a series of campaigns, initiated by Mao, intended to transform China into a truly revolutionary country. Big-character posters are used to denounce people as opponents of the Revolution. Red Guards (pupils and students who swear loyalty to Mao and his Little Red Book) destroy anything that is branded 'old' and eliminate people considered 'rightists'. The campaigns result effectively in a civil war. The country is in chaos, but the posters only show enthusiasm.
Criticize the old world and build a new world with Mao Zedong Thought as a weapon
Hold high the great red flag of Mao Zedong Thought, thoroughly smash the reactionary line of Liu and Deng
Scatter the old world, build a new world
Overthrow Peng Dehuai, Luo Ruiqing, Chen Zaidao, Liao Laotan
Thoroughly smash the dynastic Li family!
Oppose economism: destroy the new counter-offensive of the capitalist class reactionary line
Fully criticize the Chinese Khrushchev from a political, ideological and theoretical perspective
The renegade traitor and scab Liu Shaoqi must forever be expelled from the Party!
To villages we go, to the borders we go, to places in the fatherland where we are most needed we go
Bombard the capitalist headquarters
