In this new video from Unprofesor we will explain "What were the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution".

What were the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. The great leap forward and the cultural revolution were two movements that arose in communist China under Mao Tse Tung in the SXX. We start with the great leap forward. In operation from 1958 to 1961 and it is a series of economic, political and social measures that sought to transform the traditional Chinese agricultural economy, through rapid industrialization and collectivization. In fact, to achieve this, popular agrarian communes were created. Private agriculture was banned so that the entire Chinese agricultural industry would follow the communist model. In fact, all these measures were a resounding failure due to a series of political errors and also, to a series of achievement of bad harvests that produced a terrible famine throughout China. In fact, millions and millions of people died of starvation. As we said, why was it a failure? Due to the bad harvests but above all because the diligent communists insisted on not wanting to see and even hide results to mask that great leap forward and try to show that it was not a failure, if not a I exist Something that was completely absurd and fallacious. Millions and millions of tons of food rotted because the bureaucrats were afraid to send, according to what reports to the party because, these reports did not agree with what the party wanted, which could make those bureaucrats have problems. In fact too, many of the tons of food were used to incur the debt he owed to Russia instead of feeding his own country.
