Der letzte Anführer einer Großmacht, der Bildung und Wissenschaft im großen Stil bekämpft hat, war Mao Tse Dong. Letztendlich hat er sein Land damit wissenschaftlich und kulturell um eine Generation zurückgeworfen. Ich sach ja nur.

The last leader of a great nation who fought education and sciences was Mao Tse Dong. In the end, he threw his country back by a generation scientifically and culturally. Just sayin’.

#TNI #TransnationalInstitute is a group that mostly releases great reports, analysis, etc, on #techgiants, #capitalism #resourcecolonialism #labor etc

But when it comes to #China, they'll somehow willingly publish pro-CCP propaganda-lite, factually dubious BS like this, romanticizing the #Mao era, regurgitating South-South solidarity talk points & of course, ignoring the #CCP's glaring similarities to Israel in its treatment of #Uyghurs #Tibetans & #HongKongers

@RollCall @politics-RollCall This tactic is not new. #Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution severely damaged China's education system. Schools were closed, teachers were persecuted, and the focus shifted to political indoctrination rather than academic learning. This disruption served to eliminate potential opposition, consolidate Mao's power, and control the younger generation by prioritizing Mao Zedong Thought over critical thinking, leaving a lasting negative impact on China's intellectual development.

Vor mehr als 20 Jahren hatte ich in Island mal eine Postkarte mit diesem Motiv des Malers Erró gekauft. Es heißt "Chairman Mao’s Long Journey, Washington, 2020"

Keine Ahnung, warum mir das ausgerechnet heute wieder eingefallen ist...

"DOGE and the CCRG [communist Central Cultural Revolution Group] emerged as tools for populist authoritarian leaders — Donald #Trump in the U.S. and #Mao Zedong in China — seeking to reshape government and consolidate power outside traditional legal frameworks. DOGE was not established by Congress but by presidential fiat under Donald Trump"
