    A wee quote from the author of the original little red book …:
    “the two slogans – let a hundred flowers blossom and let a hundred schools of thought contend – have no class character; the proletariat can turn them to account, and so can the bourgeoisie or others. Different classes, strata and social groups each have their own views on what are fragrant flowers and what are poisonous weeds”.

    Seemed a good idea at the time, remember how that trick evolved thereafter …?
