How is the Cultural Revolution like Legalism?

Cultural Revolution and Legalism have many different connections. Legalism is a philosophy that says all humans are bad and must be controlled by the government. Within the Cultural Revolution, Mao Zedong did just this when he regained power in 1965. He put the adults to work in factories and communes. He also changed the schools systems so the students would learn what he wished for them to learn. It was almost a form of brainwash. Those who lashed out were put out by the government and by Mao's supporters. It was a violent time that could have been avoided if Mao did not believe, and convince others to believe in Legalism.

What was the Cultural Revolution in China?

The Cultural Revolution is not a really revolution. It's just an excuse to make sure communism can be built smoothly.The chairman, Mao Zedong thought that some people were not in favour of communism, and they may even want to restore the Qing Dynasty.So the Cultural Revolution was exactly for killing the people who did not obey the government. Pretty much all of the people were people who had western ties, or were educated with western practices, like Doctors, Artists, and authors. Many educated people were killed by the Red Guard, which was a large group of youth who were influenced by the communist government Also the reason why this all started (the CR) is, because Mao had been less than a dynamic leader from the late 1950's on, and feared others in the party might be taking on a leading role that weakened his power within the party and the country. This probably explains the Cultural Revolution - it was an attempt by Mao to re-impose his authority on the party and therefore the country.

Is Chairman Mao guilty of genocide?

Genocide: systematic killing of a racial or cultural group. Probably not. He did help prop up the failed attempt by Kim Il Sung to unite Korea, leading to the deaths of many U.S. and R.O.K. soldiers and civilians, but I would put most of the blame for the Korean war on Stalin and Roosevelt/Truman/Eisenhower. Mao was responsible for the deaths of 50 Million of his own country men, however (Some estimates put that number at more that 70 Million).
