This is the follow-up video to the previous 1Dime video documentary, “China’s Cultural Revolution: The Full Story.“
In this sequel 1Dime video, we analyze the key lessons that people (especially leftists) can learn from the events of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and I offer my own interpretation of it all. Be sure to comment on your interpretation of the events after watching these two videos!
