Communist Cannibalism

[Calypso Jones]

They sure don't tell you this historical stuff about communism in the history books. There's probably a reason for that, ya think?

Communist Cannibals | Frontpage Mag

It was 1967. America was two years away from landing on the moon and Chinese Communists were eating people. The Communists hadn’t turned cannibal because of hunger, but politics.

Mao’s cultural revolution had already led to brutal lynchings of teachers and principals by the Red Guards unleashed by the Communist regime to purge all ideological deviation, but beating political opponents to death wasn’t enough for the radical mobs in the Guangxi region.

By the end of the cultural revolution, as many as 20,000 Communists had eaten human flesh.

While the four hundred people cannibalized were a relatively small number compared to the estimated three million killed in the cultural revolution, and the 100,000 or so killed for ideological reasons without being eaten by Communists in the Guangxi region, they serve as a reminder of the depths of horror and evil that the Communist movement had descended to.

And to which it may end up returning once again.

Cannibalism was only one of the atrocities of the cultural revolution which included “beheading, beating, live burial, stoning, drowning, boiling, group slaughters, disemboweling, digging out hearts, livers, genitals, slicing off flesh, blowing up with dynamite and more”.

Communist officials organized cannibal orgies as a test of political loyalty. Friends, associates and close family members had to eat the flesh of dissidents to prove their ideological allegiance.

The orgies soon gave way to a banality of evil best described in one of the passages in Zheng Yi’s definitive book ‘Scarlet Memorial’ about the culture war cannibalism. “Strolling down the street, the director of the local Bureau of Commerce carried a human leg on his shoulder, which he was taking home to boil and consume. On the leg there still hung a piece of a man’s trouser.”

The killings began with struggle sessions, the victims, whether they were doctors, teachers or peasants, men and women who had once had money, visited foreign countries or stood in the way of Mao’s agenda, were paraded up and down the streets, berated and humiliated, and then beaten to death by waiting mobs. But eventually just beating them to death was not enough.

Like their originators in the French Revolution, the Communist found new cruelties. They killed parents in front of children. They buried their victims alive. They mutilated them. And ate them.

What began as mob violence where Red Guard “students killed their principals in the school courtyard and then cooked and ate the bodies to celebrate a triumph over ‘counterrevolutionaries'”, became formalized as government cafeterias displayed “bodies dangling on meat hooks” and “served human flesh to employees.”

read on if you have the stomach.

 

[Calypso Jones]

The horrors were all part of a calculated plan. The Communist leaders assigned quotas to the Red Guards for how many people had to be killed. Mobs were encouraged to beat people to death because then the “masses can be educated in a relatively more efficient way.” The order was that after three days “one-fourth of the social dregs must be bludgeoned to death.”

“Model demonstrations of killing” were held before ‘communes’ were turned loose to kill people on their own. Thousands of people were being killed with fists and stones across the region in the name of the Communist Party. Entire families, men, women and children, even babies, were brutally killed by the Cultural Revolution’s cadres. Some were raped and tortured.

Girls had been encouraged to take the lead in the Cultural Revolution from the beginning. During the mass killings they were encouraged, “to do the killing and later they would address them as ‘sister nine’ or ‘sister ten’ based on the number of people they had killed.”

Sons begged for the lives of their mothers. Mothers begged for the lives of their children. “Please leave me one.” Ropes were put around the necks of children and they were dragged to their deaths through the dust for the greater glory of the Communist cause.

A mother trying to hide the truth from her little boy until the end dressed him in his best clothes, telling him that his “‘uncles’ were coming to take him to grandma’s.”

Just over 400 people were eaten. And it was a very shot period sponsored by the local communist office. Mao wasn't aware of it until later. He did not approve of it. In 1983, there was an investigation by the Communist Party. The ones that instigated or had interesting lunches didn't survive the investigation.

Cults have to cult

It is all part of an effort to take the humanity out of humanity

Once they have stripped from man the concept of being made in the image of God, and thus special from the animal kingdom, they can then herd humanity around like cattle and treat them as cattle.

What do we do with animals again?

Oh, that's right, we enslave them in zoos for our entertainment or use them as beasts of burden or kill and eat them.

I had better answer this before the Mods get to it. You have zero supporting cite for this. While the Cannibalism was part of the 422 cult movement and died out very quickly this last bit has zero backing. When that happens and I see a motive, I wonder just how much of it was true. BTW, the massacres and lunches were not supported by the Red Army which the Guards would have been part of.

 

[Calypso Jones]

In 1968, the Communist cannibalism finally ended. The Chinese Communist Party at the national level gave the order to end it immediately and a prolonged cover-up began. But the violence had served its larger purpose in Mao’s Cultural Revolution power struggle.

While word of it reached America early on, American leftists refused to believe it. It was not until the publication and translation of ‘Scarlet Memorial’, which was reviewed by the New York Times and the Washington Post in the nineties, that the facts were established.

And then quickly forgotten.

American leftists had been complicit in the horrors of Communist China and the Cultural Revolution. And they still are. Why does this litany of horrors in a far off country matter?

As Gov. Tim Walz’s 30-year relationship with China is scrutinized, it’s worth noting that a news story described how, “Walz has always been fascinated by Communist China. He remembers from his childhood pictures of Mao Tse-Tung hung in public places and carried in parades.”

While these horrors were taking place, Western intellectuals and journalists returned from Communist China (as they had the USSR and Nazi Germany), and denied that anything terrible was going on.

A few years after the cannibalism, American Communist sympathizers set up the US-China Peoples Friendship Association (USCPFA) to “advance the interests of Communist China and world communism.” And in 2019, Gov. Walz was scheduled to appear at USCPFA’s convention.

That romanticism of Maoism remains. Maoist movements continue to lead the way in what many are calling the contemporary ‘Cultural Revolution’ on college campuses and public life. They play a crucial role in some of the most violent riots calling for the destruction of America.

Americans certain that this litany of horrors in a far-off place could never happen here all too quickly forget the sudden permission structure that licensed the random violence of the BLM riots, the Hamas mobs rampaging through cities and campuses and the vandalism of public places by a long list of radical leftist movements including Occupy Wall Street.

The underlying permission structure for ideological violence, for the dehumanization and targeting of some individuals and groups for political reasons, is just as alive in America.

Past surveys showed that 1 in 5 Ivy League students “expressed some level of acceptance for violence” for stopping campus speeches they didn’t like. Last year’s Buckley Institute survey found that nearly half of students agreed that “physical violence can be justified to prevent that person from espousing their hateful views.” Last year, a FIRE survey found that 1 in 3 students “believe it can be acceptable in at least some circumstances to use violence to stop a campus speech.” The campus numbers are trending toward growing acceptability of political violence.

The cannibalism described in ‘Scarlet Memorial’ is at the farthest and most extreme end of leftist violence, but it is part of a continuum of ideological violence that we are seeing today. It is the final endpoint of the leftist argument that anything is acceptable for the sake of social change.

The chinese govt stopped it and then covered it up. Anyone can see why.

 

[Calypso Jones]

this is history. are you trying to cancel it?

 

[Votto]

The Chinese cover something up like Covid?

NEVER!!

Lies!!!!!!!!!

 

[Calypso Jones]

For some further reading on Maoist movements that have emerged in Western countries, I highly recommend the book “The Strategy of Maoism in the West: Rage and the Radical Left” (Edward Elgar, 2022) by David Martin Jones and M. L. R. Smith (both of King’s College London).

I'll stop you right there. It was a local happening that Mao and his government did NOT approve of. It was an area that was left over from the 422 followers (cult) who didn't back Mao and the current communist government. You left off where in 1983, they were wiped out.

But I suppose that if you were Chinese you would be claiming that the Donner Party proved that America practiced cannibalism.

Try backing it up with cites.

From the link's comment section:


In 1958, Mao Zedong ordered the killing of all sparrows. The mindless war on birds that ensued led to terrible plagues, exacerbated the Great Famine which precipitated acts of cannibalism on a wide scale.,
Mao Zedong was an illiterate man who didn’t believe in science and had no regard for the laws of nature. In fact, Mao actually believed that he bring nature under his control. To make matters worse, Mao was anti-intellectual and thus disregarded the warnings of the scientists (Mao likely hard the scientists killed and eaten! But I digress.).
Once all the sparrows we killed off, the swarms of locusts dramatically increased year over year until they eventually consumed everything that was grown. With no crops to harvest, no food to eat and given China’s population size, cannibalism ensued which was virtually inevitable.

  Mao truly was enamored by the notion of “What can be, unburdened by what has been”.
  We have been warned, people. When a person striving towards high elected office quotes the illiterate, murderous thug Mao be certain that murder and other atrocities aren’t far behind.

He most certainly approved of it.

He most certainly approved of it.

If you understand human nature, you understand where mankind is headed.

 

[Calypso Jones]

total depravity brought on by this political ideology. The cannibalism is a small part but you can't deny it didn't happen...it is said some 20,000 plus had eaten human flesh by the time it was over..now THAT is significant.

The worst is the death and destruction with all that goes along with it. The cruelty, dehumization, the total lack of empathy sympathy mercy.

and it seems to me there is some flimsy excuses submitted for it. . EVEN HERE. If you don't condemn it and keep condemning it you can expect it to come round again with increased inhumanity and barbarism.

Cannibalism of the still living organs of the fallen was practiced by Syrian jihadists with the full approval of President shitstain obama. It was so disgusting and egregious that President Putin had to slap obama down in public humiliation.

Just call it the democrat Mao.

well....perhaps we should all just accept Martha Raddatz excuse that 'it was only a handful of people who were cannibalized.


While the four hundred people cannibalized were a relatively small number compared to the estimated three million killed in the cultural revolution, and the 100,000 or so killed for ideological reasons without being eaten by Communists in the Guangxi region, they serve as a reminder of the depths of horror and evil that the Communist movement had descended to.


see....just 400 or so. why...in the grand scheme of things that's nothing.
