  Cultural Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Though Mao himself officially declared the Cultural Revolution to have ended in 1969, the term is today widely used to also include the period between 1969 and the arrest of the Gang of Four in 1976.
During the Cultural Revolution, young people from the cities were forcibly moved to the countryside, where they were forced to abandon all forms of standard education for the propaganda teachings of the Chinese Communist Party.
These contradictory views of the Cultural Revolution were put into sharp relief during the Tiananmen Protests of 1989, when both the demonstrators and the government justified their actions as being necessary to avoid another Cultural Revolution.

 Europe in Retropsect: The French Revolution - Phases of the Revolution
In rhetoric and institution, the French Revolution was a liberal revolution, in which the liberty of the individual was proclaimed, private property was respected.
As the Revolution became more popular in support, it also became more intolerant; this dual situation occurring in the years 1793 and 1794, when the Jacobin faction, that most closely identified with the people of Paris and with democracy, was supreme.
This was the awful period in which "the Revolution devoured its own." Some eleven thousand individuals died as enemies of the state, and their deaths added up to a new, horrendous activity of modern Western civilization: institutionalized violence, the harsh elimination of political opposition by the state.

 CSRP: The Revolution in Peru is Profoundly Liberating
Those who think that the revolution has built up this kind of organization by terrorizing the masses should consider that the revolution started with almost no arms at all, and has gotten the overwhelming majority of what arms it has by taking them from the Peruvian army and police.
In Peru, the truth is that the revolution has terrorized the oppressors of the peasants, the police and the army most of all; it has rallied the peasants to rise up, break the power of the landlords, take over the land, abolish centuries of feudal degradation, and set out to build a new society.
A closely related question is the charge that the revolution is strategically based on terrorizing the middle classes in Peru, especially those in the cities who are not large capitalists or agents and appendages of foreign capital, but who have a position above the poor peasants and the workers and shantytown people in the cities.
