The Great Deception:

 The Hundred Flowers Campaign, occurred in 1956 when the Communist Party of China (CPC) encouraged its citizens to openly criticize the Communist regime. This was led and encouraged by Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong:

 The name of the movement originated in a poem: Simplified Chinese:

 "Let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred schools of thought contend."

 Hesitating, because of past experience, the movement started very slowly as the Chinese people were worried of repercussions. ( I wonder why?)

 Mao made many appearances promoting his new open idea.

 Saying:

 "Our society cannot back down, it could only progress... criticism of the bureaucracy is pushing the government towards the better."

 Mao saw this as a chance to cement Socialism.

 He had a plan,

 It was a diabolical plan and the Chinese people would again pay for their willingness to trust Mao.

 So, after all the promises, The Hundred Flowers movement began quickly gaining momentum in May 1957. Criticism of Marxist-Leninist ideology and the Party's corrupt role with Socialist policies often took center stage. (of course)

 Students ,on college campuses, published posters denouncing Socialism and Mao.

 On June 2nd an anonymous author hung a wall poster at Qinghua University,

 it read:

“We have given our blood, sweat, toil and precious lives to defend not the people but the bureaucratic organs and bureaucrats who oppress the people and live off the fat of the land. They are a group of fascists who employ foul means, twist the truth, band together in evil adventure, and ignore the people's wish for peace both at home and abroad ... In Yan'an was Chairman Mao, who had two dishes plus soup for every meal, having a hard time? Were the peasants, who had nothing to eat but bitter vegetables, enjoying the good life? Everyone was told that Chairman Mao was leading a hard and simple life. That son of a bitch! A million shames on him! ... Our pens can never defeat Mao Zedong's Party guards and his imperial army. When he wants to kill you, he doesn't have to do it himself. He can mobilize your wife and children to denounce you and then kill you with their own hands! Is this a rational society? This is class struggle, Mao Zedong style!”

Students at Peking University created a "Democratic Wall" .

 Their posters stated:

 "intellectuals are virtually being tortured while living in a communist society,"

 "There is a total lack of freedom if the CPC is to continue on ruling the country,"

 By early July 1957, the campaign had become too difficult to control, and Mao had reached his limit !

 He angrily said his real reason for the Hundred Flowers Campaign was to:

 "enticed the snakes out of their caves."

 Mao now had what he wanted.

 (You just gotta love these Socialists!)

 (This would be seen again, in Chinese history, where free thought is promoted by the government, and then suppressed by it. A similar movement would again appear in the late 1980s and lead to the Tiananmen Square Massacre of 1989)

 Now a new and true campaign would begin !

 The “Anti-Rightist Campaign” replaced the “Hundred Flowers Campaign.”Mao, ruthlessly targeted people that, he thought, favored capitalism , were critical the regime and its Socialist ideology. Those who had dared open their mouths against Mao’s Socialism were condemned to prison labor camps, tortured or killed.

 The Anti-Rightist Campaign lasted from 1957 to 1959, was instigated by Chairman Mao, enthusiastically supported by future leader Deng Xiaoping, and would again brought forth political persecutions and the deaths of an estimated :

 1.5 million innocent people.

 Oh, and this was just a warm-up, because, in a just few months Mao would institute another campaign.

“The Socialist Education Campaign” , better known as :

“The Great Leap Forward.”

Where his Socialist ideology would cost the innocent Chinese people:

 45 million dead, in only 4 years !

 You can NOT trust Socialists / Communists.

 They gain power distorting history and promising utopia.

 It’s a lie !

 Look at history.

 It’s already happened before, many times.

 Different times.

 Different places.

 Same results!
