![Relevant To Our Times: "Had They Understood They Had Nothing To Lose..." - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn [1024x658 - 166KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/UIjP6h.jpg){kind=link}
Everyone is talking about this book, but what everyone REALLY ought to be reading up on is Mao's cultural revolution because that WAY more closely resembles what we are actually dealing with here and now.
I recommend "the people's triology" (3 books) by Frank Dikötter
Maybe you could write a review here, since you've read those
I mean this https://archive.is/7bdTP#selection-281.70-281.74 is gold, and it's not even the full book, it's just a review. But after reading it then you know where to dig, you know what it's all about, all the key concepts and elements are laid, you can start to see the big picture
Oh man, I wouldn't even know where to start because there is SO MUCH I wish everyone could know from those three books. Every two chapters I'd put the book down on my lap and tell my husband something about it until he finally asked me to stop and said he would read them himself by the end of the year. I'd probably end up with a book of my own just recapping the highlights.
But the long and short of it is that I'm convinced that our military will ABSOLUTELY turn on us, (even if they are torn up and crying about it while they do), and we've all seen enough to know that the vast majority of our families, friends, and neighbors will join the hive mind over the course of an afternoon rather than risk being perceived as on the losing side and the methods employed to brainwash the masses that enable this behavior has been skillfully deployed for decades already.
It's a massive blackpill, but I think there are more similarities between us and China than us and the Soviet Union anymore.
Update: if you only have time to read one though, go with the last one in the series: (from Amazon)
"The Cultural Revolution: After the economic disaster of the Great Leap Forward that claimed tens of millions of lives between 1958 and 1962, an ageing Mao launched an ambitious scheme to shore up his reputation and eliminate those he viewed as a threat to his legacy. The stated goal of the Cultural Revolution was to purge the country of bourgeois, capitalist elements he claimed were threatening genuine communist ideology. But the Chairman also used the Cultural Revolution to turn on his colleagues, some of them longstanding comrades-in-arms, subjecting them to public humiliation, imprisonment and torture. "
The earlier books are critical for context, but I believe this is the preview to the "post great reset world" that the US can look forward to... I see it already starting with the lockdown-induced economic warfare being carried out against small businesses and small-time mom and pop and landlords. The collective callousness to the loss of their livelihoods by the majority of young people today is blood-chilling if you see what comes next.
The military WILL 100% turn on us. I could cry every day when I listen to the young and naive soldiers talk. They gobble up what the MSM tells them just like our regular neighbours and family. They are NOT going to protect you. They never have and never will. If the military was truly patriotic then where have they been? What about the vote? What about now? Where are all these 'heroes'?
Nowhere, they only do what they are told and what advances their worthless careers. If the military ever shows up at your house and defends it, it's not because they care for you. It's because it's in a tactical advantageous location.
Don't depend on others in uniform.
EDIT: In Europe, things might be slightly better in the US because of more conservative outside influence on the soldiers.
The similarities between Antifa and the Red Guards is uncanny. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Guards
Red Guards (simplified Chinese: 红卫兵; traditional Chinese: 紅衛兵; pinyin: Hóng Wèibīng) was a mass student-led paramilitary social movement mobilized and guided by Chairman Mao Zedong in 1966 through 1967, during the first phase of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, which he had instituted
Mao made use of the group as propaganda and to accomplish goals such as seizing power and destroying symbols of China's pre-communist past ("Four Olds"), including ancient artifacts and gravesites of notable Chinese figures. Moreover, the government was very permissive of the Red Guards, and even allowed the Red Guards to inflict bodily harm on people viewed as dissidents. The movement quickly grew out of control, frequently coming into conflict with authority and threatening public security until the government made efforts to rein the youths in, with even Mao himself finding the leftist students to have become too radical.
After the 18 August rally, the Cultural Revolution Group directed the Red Guards to attack the 'Four Olds' of Chinese society (i.e., old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas). For the rest of the year, Red Guards marched across China in a campaign to eradicate the 'Four Olds'. Old books and art were destroyed, museums were ransacked, and streets were renamed with new revolutionary names, adorned with pictures and the sayings of Mao.18 Many famous temples, shrines, and other heritage sites in Beijing were attacked.
Through authority figures, such as teachers, using their positions as a form of absolute command rather than as educators, gave students a reason to believe Red Guard messages
On 22 August 1966, a central directive was issued to stop police intervention in Red Guard activities.26 Those in the police force who defied this notice were labeled "counter-revolutionaries." Mao's praise for rebellion effectively endorsed the actions of the Red Guards, which grew increasingly violent.
The Red Guards were also tasked with rooting out 'capitalist roaders' (those with supposed 'right-wing' views) in positions of authority.
On the one hand, the Cultural Revolution Group reiterated calls for non-violence. On the other hand, the PLA was told to assist the Red Guards with transport and lodging, and assist in organizing rallies.16 By the end of 1966, most of the Cultural Revolution Group were of the opinion that the Red Guards had become a political liability.16 The campaign against 'capitalist-roaders' had led to anarchy, the Red Guards' actions had led to conservatism amongst China's workers, and the lack of discipline and the factionalism in the movement had made the Red Guards politically dangerous
