The Cultural Revolution.
- All Mao’s idea
- Wanted to have a ‘pure’ form of Communism
- Red Guards began openly criticizing the gov’t officials
- Some people were upset about the following and were seen as targets:
- Those who wanted to return to capitalism
- ‘Specialists’ - anyone who did not do manual labour were forced to work
- Anyone who disobeyed “Little Red Book” The Red Guard got so violent that the PLA had to restore order the Revolution ended by 1969

Mao punishes anyone who refuses to follow him and forces everyone in china to carry a small rebook filled with his communist ideals. He gets the youth heavily involved to the point were they would sell out even their own family's.
