xul Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Socialism Is Good was a CCP political propaganda song during Chairman Mao's time. I don't know who created these parodies but they are hilarious. If you don't understand Chinese, please click CC for English subtitle.

I am learning the lyrics now, to prepare for the new Chinese century! When talking the rise of socialism, it isn't necessary to be a Chinese century. I remember about 10 years ago, there was a Chinese web forum in which most members were Chinese immigrants in Canada. One day a Chinese nationalist came and asked: "Our country are getting better and better now. Why do you still want to immigrate to Canada?" Then somebody answered with a joke:" Because we want continue to pursuit socialism..... "? The joke reflected the fact that Canada and other western countries had economically become more socialist than China after Mao was gone. In recent years, I see more and more Chinese used to compare Trump's ways to incite and control his supporters with Chairman Mao's, and call Trumptards Trump Guards, referring Mao's Red Guards in the Great Culture Revolution. And lots of people use Planned Economy to describe Trump's way to use governmental power to interfere economic activity. And now, Twitter has banned Trump permanently. So in US a few media will decide what people can say even if what a president can say. What if someday scientists invent this brainwash machine, then these perfect and powerful beings decide to use it on everyone to make every man on this planet as perfect as them? In short: Even in this socialism race, US may still be #1, just as these two parodies showed.? Edited January 9, 2021 by xul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
