Film and photos of great revolutionary leader Mao Zedong and scenes from China during the revolution and under his rule.
A man (NOT a God) who made many mistakes, but undeniably a great military and political genius who changed the worlds most populous country forever, and inspired revolutionaries and progressives all over the world. To this day, he is still an influential force, not just in China but also inspiring Maoist People's Wars in Nepal (Prachanda), Peru, Colombia, India, The Philippines, and also potentially in Bhutan.
Since Deng Xiapoings coup, the Chinese Communist Party has largely put forward policies based on introducing market elements into the economy, creating an increasing wealth gap, social divions, the re-emergence of class antagonisms, a clique of Party bureaucrats and corruption. The Chinese Communist Party's official position on Mao, from a resolution adopted in 1981, is thus:
"Comrade Mao Zedong was a great Marxist and a great proletarian revolutionary, strategist and theorist. It is true that he made gross mistakes during the "cultural revolution", but, if we judge his activities as a whole, his contributions to the Chinese revolution far outweigh his mistakes. His merits are primary and his errors secondary. He rendered indelible meritorious service in founding and building up our Party and the Chinese People's Liberation Army, in winning victory for the cause of liberation of the Chinese people, in founding the People's Republic of China and in advancing our socialist cause. He made major contributions to the liberation of the oppressed nations of the world and to the progress of mankind."
The video features some popular songs from the Cultural Revolution (taken from very old and crackly 45rpm records!).
VIVA MAO!!!!

The Nixon Adjustment
On August 15, 1971, Richard Nixon announced that America would no longer honor the gold conversion provision of the Bretton Woods Treaty. This move signaled US acceptance of a privatized, deregulated market in which the dollar would float and find its value vis-à-vis other currencies on a day-to-day, hour-to-hour basis. It also signaled withdrawal from the concept that stable exchange rates would produce a psychology of orderliness and predictability for the growth of world commerce.
The Nixon period can now be seen as a watershed for Pax Americana. Nixon implicitly recognized the shifting position of US hegemony by delinking the dollar, seeking to end the Vietnam war, and pursuing detente with the Soviet Union and an opening to China.
As the Nixon gold shock was absorbed, everyone thought a triumvirate of currencies from the three blocs - the US, Japan and German-led Europe - would evolve, reflecting the rough disposition of economic power in the world. But that didn't happen.

Clips from the life of Chairman Mao Zedong. Music is from the revolutionary opera "The Red Detachment of Women", famously played to President Nixon during his 1972 visit.
A chance to see the real man in action rather than the distorted, dishonest accounts in Jung Chang and Jon Halliday's narrow view in their character-assasination biography.
