   Breaking With Old Ideas (1975)

   Made in China during the Cultural Revolution, dramatizing the
   struggle for proletarian control of education at an agricultural
   college during the Great Leap Forward (1958-1959). Makes it clear
   that leading party members can still promote bourgeois ideas and only
   the masses can rectify these leaders (or remove them if necessary)
   to ensure that education truly helps to build socialism. An excellent
   introduction to the politics of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural
   Revolution. Full of concrete examples of how class struggle continues
   under socialism and how communists can wage that struggle successfully:
   by mobilizing the masses to criticize those in positions of authority
   taking the capitalist road.
