★★★★★ · More likely made in 1967. · dlumenta · 2007-10-26

Excellent footage of typical 1960s communisto-phobia. It's more likely that this film was produced in 1967 (not 1964) - as it showed the ransacking of the Chinese embassy in Indonesia, which happened in early 1967. Also note the late Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The film clearly stated that he had been deposed of (which happened in 1966), so the film couldn't have been made in 1964.

★★★★★ · Sick Capitalist Propaganda · lbeyman · 2004-07-11

This is a beauty of a propaganda film. It is so badly done that if someone has any knowledge of history it would be easily exposed. Sadly most people know no history except what is available in propaganda films. The facts are that in those areas where the Communists ruled economic conditions were much better then in the rest of China. In areas under Nationalist rule the people were starving. Why do you think millions were joining the communists? In fact all over the third world, wherever the capitalists dominated and still dominate, people are suffering. If people were free to/allowed to…

The title refers to the Chinese Communist Party's tactic of occupying rural areas first and moving toward urban targets. Therefore, the implication goes, their global strategy was to similarly target the third world, then move on to more developed countries. The argument sounds more plausable here than in many other, more emotional films of the era. You might expect it to veer off into some all-American, right-wing hysteria, but apart from a few references to Communism taking over the world (complete with the usual educational film cliche of the changing map), the bulk of this film sticks to…

Mao was a Kaifeng Jew Moses Tung, Jew CHINA Communist China was created by the Jews and serves their interests. Mao murdered 60 million innocent Chinese people under his rule mainly to destroy traditional Chinese culture in order to gain total control. As with Christianity, any practitioners of spiritual systems where outlawed, killed, and thrown into gulags, to die a slow death through slave labor, starvation and torture. The Communistic systems became the new culture of control. With China under their flag,Tibet was next being the last bastion of spiritual and historical knowledge.Jewish…

Dustbin of History · orygunduk · 2007-05-22

lbeyman, your condescending remark about people you don't know who don't agree with you are emblematic of the arrongance and ignorance of the far left. You know what you have read by those who share your view. I am certain you don't know firsthand anyone who had to live through the absolute horror of the great leap forward or the cultural revolution. If you did, you wouldn't be spewing your BS.
