The Chinese Cultural Revolution. Struggle sessions. That was one of the tells for me too about the nature of current events. I thought the cultural rev was Mao's brainchild, part of an attempt to retain control -- relying on Philip Short's bio of Mao for this -- please don't tell me the book's rubbish (no, do if you think it is). Though of course no-one rules without the mob.
What a crossover event in my stack
I really appreciated this dialogue!
