flowers

Let one thousand flowers bloom came from chair man mao. What does it even mean. Basically, it is...  that you should encourage many views... from many sources. Except that mao did crush all opponents that did not share his unique view. Actually, it was a carefully crafted scheme to flush out opponents by encouraging them to show their true colors as critical of the repressive regime. He got rid of them after they spoke up. Reminds me of liberals now. All they talk about is hate speech, but there is no freedom of speech or freedom of the press.
