Free To Be Human
This program contains a reading of Felix Greene’s philosophical essay on how China’s new society illuminates Western societies and how they hinder human development. He says the core of the new democracy in China is not within the formal structures of society, but the attitudes of respect and trust between people, which the Cultural Revolution emphasized. He compels the listener to recall Mao’s quote, “understand class struggle”, as a personal obligation to become a better member of society. He contrasts this to Western ‘individual freedom’ and competition, which hinder peoples’ confidence to change the system around them, and develop relationships of equality.
