What about religious teachings? Do you see a lot of similarity between them?
This book, in itself is another attempt at brainwashing because it omits to include the government sponsored religious indoctrination in almost all countries.
In particular the Christian sects that has been spreading since the establishments of Roman Empire .
I have written about this subject in my review of HEAVEN IS FOR REAL by Todd Burpo, and I would like to examine the indoctrinating aspect of Christianity as compared with Chinese government 's brainwashing of its people.

Originally, Christian religion converting has been employed as a way for almost all empires to unite and subjugate its serfs , to keep an invisible iron grip of the Empire upon the necks of its slaves .
Once converted , the serfs identify them with the emperors and his royal courtiers, turn them into loyal contributors of goods and services , sweat and even blood to their tormentors , blood suckers and abusers who they see as their brothers and sister WITHOUT the notion as mentioned above.
With one stroke, Emperors, Kings, Presidents have magically turned their life -time slaves into their "brothers and sisters" , extolling the Christian "virtue" of offering their lelf cheeks after their right cheeks are slapped,extolling the virtue of submitting themselves to authority, comforting themselves about the prospect of getting a premium seats in the HEAVEN, that are reserved for them, the good Lambs.

Is this dirty trick any better than the said communist 's brainwashing?
You tell me
