Cultural Revolution Propaganda- A Flickr Find

I've always been fascinated with China's Cultural Revolution, particularly its iconography. A Flickr commenter translated the Chinese on the left as: "conduct yourself like this!" and the bottom as "promote revolution to the end!", and while I'm too lazy to double-check, a quick glance says this translation is about right.

  1. Yeah, Chinese propaganda is pretty fascinating–even the modern stuff has remained weird enough to be entertaining. Check out this website here.

    It’s like the grandaddy of all propaganda sites.
