What do you know of the Maoist Cultural Revolution?

>people who thought of themselves as disenfranchised revolted against "the upper class"

>many of the "disenfranchised" were young students and poor farmers and followed the movement blindly

>Mao encouraged a mentality of "you must revolt or you are part of the problem"

>Landlords and capitalists were dragged through the street (and sometimes killed) by mobs because they were seen as "oppressors"

>mobs would destroy historical artifacts and monuments because they thought they were destroying their awful past to forge a new future

Sound familiar? Just look at BLM across the country
