Abstract
A Cultural Revolution happened in China in the mid-1960’s, which was led by the capital roaders who demanded a major change in the social system where they wanted an organizational structure and a value system that will allow privatization of properties and the undermining of the collective power of the working class. This revolution was later defeated with the entry of a capitalist Dengist society. In the 1990s, a socialist revolution is again brewing in China as they want to reconstruct communism in the country.
