The Economic Policy of the Mao Tse-Tung Clique

Abstract

It has been two years since the launching of the so-called Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution by the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party under the direction of Mao Tsetung. The circles around Mao tried to use this campaign as a means to suppress by force the increasing discontent of the rank and file, of the workers and peasants, and of the progressive intelligentsia with the erroneous domestic and foreign policies of the Chinese leadership. By means of terror and a tense atmosphere intentionally created by the Red Guards, they hoped to silence the protests of the enlightened elements and to pave the way for a new "Great Leap Forward."
