This is a description of several Maoist propoganda posters. We're studying China in class (kinda) and we've seen so many german and soviet posters that I decided to look up some chinese ones. The url adress tells me it's not a very reliable site, but at least there's no advertisements on the page. I have no idea who wrote the commentary or what their views on Mao are but the pictures are pretty concrete as sources themselves.
