Twilight Vs. the Chinese Cultural Revolution

Can there be any comparison made between unswerving devotion of millions of adoring Twilight fans to the objects of their affection, and the seemingly unflinching devotion of millions to one Chairman? Definitely not... Although both phenomenon were huge beneficiaries of marketing machines (Corporate and Government Propaganda respectively), the difference is freedom, particularly freedom to read about and watch what you want, even mealy-mouthed, brooding sparkle vampires.

Having said that, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at what the Cultural Revolution might look like through the eyes of a Twilight fan.
