Outsider's Take Before China's Cultural Revolution

I’m literally a communist, you idiot!’ These were words uttered by the inexplicably omnipresent commentarian, Ash Sarkar, in a televised discussion with Piers Morgan, a man who is to civilised conversation what David Irving is to historical evidence. Allowing for the fact that the intellectual temperature of today’s public commentators can be measured in single digit Kelvins, I think it unlikely that even self-proclaimed ‘literal communists’ would be aware of the depth of brainwashing and bloodshed that took place to form the still nominally Communist behemoth that is China today.
