DILIGENTLY ENFORCE CHAIRMAN-MAO-THOUGHT!
THE SUNLIGHT OF CHAIRMAN-MAO-THOUGHT ILLUMINATES THE GREAT PROLETARIAN REVOLUTION!
ADVANCE VICTORIOUSLY WHILE FOLLOWING CHAIRMAN MAO’S REVOLUTIONARY LINE IN LITERATURE AND ARTS!

I listened to Radio Peking in the ’60s. It sounded just like the posters, overmodulated and constantly shouting in ALL CAPS. CHAIRMANMAOTHOUGHT was one unbreakable word, like FORMERPRESIDENTTRUMP or JANUARY6VIOLENTINSURRECTION or RUSSIANAGGRESSION in the overmodulated screech of modern “journalists”.
