The Lessons of the Cultural Revolution in China (feat. Tony ‪@1DimeRadio‬)

Emancipations Podcast

We are joined by scholar and socialist thinker Tony, creator of @1Dimee, an important YouTube channel that offers educational videos for a mass popular audience. In this discussion, Tony and host Daniel Tutt discuss his research, writing and video work around The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in China from 1966 - 67. We examine what gave rise to the Cultural Revolution, what it tells us about class struggle and class as a political category vs. an economic category. We also broach how the Cultural Revolution has seeped into Europe, America and beyond.

For background, watch Tony's documentary on "The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution" and the second video "Why the Cultural Revolution Failed: Lessons for Leftists."
