Revolutionary Committees were grassroots organizations formed during the Cultural Revolution in China from 1966 to 1976. They aimed to promote the ideas of Mao Zedong and enforce revolutionary policies. These committees often included workers, peasants, and students, who worked together to challenge traditional authority and implement radical changes in society. These committees played a significant role in local governance, often replacing existing government structures. They were responsible for organizing political campaigns, managing local resources, and ensuring loyalty to the Communist Party. However, their actions sometimes led to chaos and violence, as they sought to eliminate perceived enemies of the revolution.
