As a major political event and a crucial turning point in the history of the People’s Republic of China, the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) marked the zenith as well as the nadir of Mao Zedong’s ultra-leftist politics. Reacting in part to the Soviet Union’s “revisionism” that he regarded as a threat to the future of socialism, Mao mobilized the masses in a battle against what he called “bourgeois” forces within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). This 10-year-long class struggle on a massive scale devastated traditional Chinese culture as well as the nation’s economy.
Following his groundbreaking and award-winning history of the Great Famine, Tombstone, Yang Jisheng here presents the only history of the Cultural Revolution by an independent scholar based in mainland China, and makes a crucial contribution to understanding those years’ lasting influence today.
The World Turned Upside Down puts every political incident, major and minor, of those 10 years under extraordinary and withering scrutiny, and arrives in English at a moment when contemporary Chinese governance is leaning once more toward a highly centralized power structure and Mao-style cult of personality.

“This is exactly what is happening in the USA, I hope it will be stopped before the USA collapses into a 3rd world.”
So you read the entire book before concluding it ‘is exactly what is happening in the USA”.
Like you I have not listened to this book, but I am familiar with the topic from reading other books and listening to various professors lectures & interviews.
If you lived 1 week back then & then you were transported through time arriving today, you would spend the first 10 minutes back kissing the ground and supremely thankful that today in America is nothing like living and dying 30 million) in the middle of the Chinese Cultural revolution. 30 million dead and you are saying life in America is ‘exactly’ like that? No. There are some simalarities inthat angry spoiled dumb university students are being used is a power struggle that’s not intended to benefit the kids. The woke smell like Mao’s Red Gaurd, only it;s almost all done in cyberspace and there’s not 30 million murdered or starved people and kids are not beating their grandparents near to death. Do you understand 30 million dead vs zero dead? I’ll concede that the woke have probably driven a handful of folks to kill themselves because they witch-hunted someone who made a small error that at most requires a public apology, not a ruined career and status. Still apples & oranges. You’d be hard pressed to find 1 obese Chinese student because many were half starving. If America gets to even a fraction of the turmoil of the Chinese cultural revolution, you will know it and get no arguments. The S will hit, but it won’t be the same.
What’s the body count up too in your US cultural revolution?
1, for when that MAGA-tard ran over that girl from behind with his big car in Charlotte? Oh a few rightwing-nuts back stooting at political opponents. You can pin intimidation on Antifa and a bunch of black eyes and fat lips, but no bodies. Not yet.
I’ve been watching from afar. The US left has become more violent, but I have yet to find a body you can pin on any left-wing nuts & plenty to pin on right-wing nuts. The gun nuts are too cocky. No tribe has
The US is in decline - fast & steep, but y’all are so utterly spoiled that you still have a ways to fall.
As for collapse, the woke nutter stuff is a collapse symptom or consequence, not cause. Most symptoms are being mistrusted as root causes. The self inflicted parts of American collapse are bipartisan.
.
If you want to understand collapse you need to understand Overshoot and how the world actually works. 98%> has to do with the physical world, nit abstract stuff including personalities of big leaders. You could have the greatest leader in history, but if your society does not have a surplus of energy then you are stuck at home, poor and dreaming.
If you do not understand the foundation, nothing that follows is accurate. Start here:

*How the World Really Works - Vaclav Smil*
“We have never had so much information at our fingertips, and yet most of us simply don’t understand how our world really works. Professor Vaclav Smil is not a pessimist or an optimist, he is a scientist, and this book is a much-needed reality check on topics ranging from food production and nutrition, through energy and the environment, to globalisation and the future. For example, the carbon footprint of meat is well known, but did you know that the equivalent of five tablespoons of diesel fuel goes into the production of each greenhouse-grown, medium-size, supermarket-bought tomato? The gap between belief and reality is vast.”

. If you are not curious and prefer narratives with stock characters there’s no shortage of that out there because many humans seem really uncomfortable with their spoiled lives being attributed to the fluke of America having all that oil underneath it and not ‘manifest destiny et al other soothing origin myths. Same for bad things, it’s the other tribes fault. It’s all about keeping your ego stoked and sense of belonging.

**Overshoot: Why It’s Already Too Late To Save Civilization**

‘I have some bad news. Civilization is going to collapse. Not in 1000 years, not in 100 years, but within the lifetimes of most people alive today.’

The learning will change nothing. Collapse is a lock & the hour is late.

Every time I see a book with the word “communism” in the title or description I open the comments just to laugh at how stupid Americans are. I wish I had grown up in America, I would have been considered a genius by comparison.
