Question

Along with “bad elements,” right-wingers, counterrevolutionaries, and rich peasants, these people round out the “Five Black Categories.” (15[1]-5[1])The Hunan Report includes the quip that “Revolution is not a dinner party” to support violence against this (*) economic class. In a movement known by the (10[1])abbreviation “Tǔgǎi” that began during the 1930s, millions of these people were killed and their holdings (10[1])expropriated. For 10 points, Maoist China repeatedly purged what people who collect rents? ■END■
