主题：中共中央关于党的百年奋斗重大成就和历史经验的决议 全文公布 -- SteamedFish

那么还有一个问题，主席说在考虑，如果都叫公社，那么党怎么办呢？党放在那里呢？他说，总得要有一个党嘛，要有个核心嘛，他说，你不管叫什么，叫共产党也好，叫社会民主党也好，叫社会民主工党也好，叫国民党也好，叫一贯道也好，总得有个党。一贯道也是个党嘛，公社总要有一个党，公社能不能代替了党呢？

It seems to me that the focus on the Cultural Revolution in contrast to all that came before and most of what has come after is a direct result of who writes history, whether it be the successful US citizens who have written such varicolored works as Wild Swans (Chang 1991), Red Azalea (Min 1995), Spider Eaters (Yang 1997), or even The Man Who Stayed Behind (Rittenberg and Bennett 1993), or the faceless bureaucrats in the Ministry of Education who are writing the colorfully-illustrated history primers for China's newest generation, the grandchildren of the Red Guards. These people are far from the earth, even if they were forced to be near it between 1969 and 1976. Those who have always been closer to the earth would have seen things differently; we get a hint from Gao Mobo's Gao Village, for example.

This is not to deny the very real suffering visited on the intellectuals and others during the Cultural Revolution. But it is to question whether this should be the whole story; other horrors also haunt the historiographic imagination. On the whole, Chinese history is written by, for, and about the intellectuals or the intellectuals' imaginations of the people on the land. So far, the earthbound subaltern has barely been heard.

“历史是人民创造的，但在旧戏舞台上（在一切离开人民的旧文学旧艺术上），人民却成了渣滓，由老爷太太少爷小姐们统治着舞台，这种历史的颠倒，现在由你们再颠倒过来。”

“社会主义这个阶段，又可能分为两个阶段，第一个阶段是不发达的社会主义，第二个阶段是比较发达的社会主义。后一阶段可能比前一阶段需要更长的时间。”
