    great mao quote since I still have it ready to go:

    “The people, too, have their shortcomings. Among the proletariat many retain petty-bourgeois ideas, while both the peasants and the urban petty bourgeoisie have backward ideas; these are burdens hampering them in their struggle. We should be patient and spend a long time in educating them and helping them to get these loads off their backs and combat their own shortcomings and errors, so that they can advance with great strides. They have remoulded themselves in struggle or are doing so, and our literature and art should depict this process. As long as they do not persist in their errors, we should not dwell on their negative side and consequently make the mistake of ridiculing them or, worse still, of being hostile to them. Our writings should help them to unite, to make progress, to press ahead with one heart and one mind, to discard what is backward and develop what is revolutionary, and should certainly not do the opposite.” -Mao, Talks at the Yenan Forum

    but really, how the fuck did he think killing all the sparrows would go

    "In episode 20 of the 2001 children's animated television series Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat (set in China around 1900), the mistress of the house declares that certain useless animals are banned from the compound. After the animals—the episode's eponymous birds, bees, and silkworms—are driven out, the family discovers the consequences. The mistress's fancy banquet is ruined by the lack of food and clothing, and she learns a valuable lesson."
