【新唐人2011年7月2日讯】为保平安度过九十大庆，中共当局出面叫停左派网站《乌有之乡》发起的公诉辛子陵和茅于轼的活动。而茅于轼也被当局勒令不得再公开谈论毛泽东。作家铁流指出，最近和尚唱红歌的情景好像文革再现。他打算建立一个网站推动民间批毛。
在左派《乌有之乡》网站发起轰轰烈烈“公诉辛子陵、茅于轼”的战斗之后，一批当年受迫害的老右派们，针锋相对发出“起诉毛泽东”的签名活动。
七一前夕，中共当局对左右两派发出警告，各方暂时偃旗息鼓，《乌有之乡》从首页撤下公诉文章。同时要求老右派们也停止“起诉毛泽东”的签名活动。而茅于轼与《美国之音》约好的访谈，也被警方阻止。
据《美国之音》披露，《美国之音》电视和广播同步播出的“时事大家谈”节目，原本邀请茅于轼参加北京时间6月29号晚上9点的一个直播访谈节目，讨论的话题是“如何评价毛泽东”。但临行前，茅于轼突遭警方“探访”，因而滞留家中，未能赴约。
茅于轼（经济学家）：“他们说不要再打口水仗。其实他们没有道理的。他们要求我不要再谈毛泽东的事。因为《乌有之乡》也不谈了。这个我可以同意。但是不让我参加做节目，这是没有道理的。”
铁流透露，高层官员找他谈话，表示批毛挺毛派之间的争斗对国家对社会都不利。《乌有之乡》公诉辛子陵、茅于轼，右派起诉毛泽东，当局都不会受理。只是一场口水仗。
作家铁流：“闹起来以后当局更难处理。公诉毛公诉书他受理了，那么肯定法庭要进行辩论，对毛更不利，对目前的形象很不利。继续闹下去对七一九十周年大庆可能没有好处。当局采取这样一个办法，暂时把事情处理下来。”
茅于轼指出，国际共产主义运动催生了中共的诞生，但是后来证明这条路走错了。共产主义是乌托邦思想。而事实上，现在中共党员们，包括中央领导，都不相信共产主义。
对于共产党建党九十周年和建国六十二年的历史，茅于轼认为，“反右”，“三年灾荒”和“文革”是大错误，造成了几千万人的死亡。改革开放不错，但是现在特权和贪腐问题越来越严重。共产党的执政合法性取决于老百姓是否满意。
茅于轼（经济学家）：“事实上他的合法性是由于改革开放成功。不是由于搞文革，也不是因为饿死人，而是因为改革开放成功。不是因为执行了原来的路线。如果还执行原来的路线，老早就倒台了。他如果进行政治改革，变成一个民主的政府，他还是有合法性。否则的话就很危险了。”
中共宣传部门最近掀起唱红歌，看红剧的热潮，甚至和尚，尼姑和基督徒都被迫唱红歌表忠心，令人联想到全国山河一片红的毛泽东时代。铁流对此表示担忧。他透露，他打算建立一个网站，推动民间批毛，警惕中国向左转。

Mao’s Critics Silenced
For a peaceful celebration of its 90th anniversary,
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ordered
the leftist website “Wuyou County” to stop
its prosecution of scholars Xin Ziling and Mao Yushi.
The latter was ordered to stop criticizing Mao Zedong.
Author Tie Liu said that monks sing “red” songs
reminded him of the Cultural Revolution.
He plans to set up a website to advocate
criticizing Mao Zedong.
After leftist website Wuyou County initiated
its prosecution of Xinzi Ling and Mao Yushi,
a group of persecuted rightists started their own
campaign to “prosecute Mao Zedong”.
Prior to July 1st, the CCP issued warnings
to both leftists and rightists and order them to
temporarily stop their respective movements.
Mao Yushi’s scheduled interview with Voice of
America (VOA) was also cancelled by the police.
As per VOA, Mao Yushi was scheduled to be
on a live talk show on June 29 at 9:00 p.m.
The topic is “How to evaluate Mao Zedong".
However, before leaving for the show,
Mao Yushi was suddenly visited by the police.
As he had to stay at home, the show was canceled.
Mao Yushi (economist): They said no bickering.
However, they are not reasonable.
They demanded me not to talk about Mao Zedong,
because Wuyou County stopped their discussions.
I can agree with this. However, it is nonsense
to prohibit me from participating in the show.
Tie Liu revealed that senior CCP officials told him
that the battle between the Maoists and the critics
is detrimental to both the state and the society.
Both Wuyou’s prosecution or rightists’ prosecution
were rejected by the CCP authorities.
It remained just a war of words.
Tie Liu: The authorities would find the issue
more difficult to handle once the battle is on.
If they accepted Wuyou County’s indictment,
there would be debates at the court.
This would be detrimental to Mao Zedong’s image
and the CCP’s anniversary celebration.
So the authorities chose to keep things quiet.
Mao Yushi said, the international communist
movements gave birth to the CCP.
However, this was later proven to be wrong.
Communism is a utopian idea. In fact,
the current CCP members, including the leaders,
don’t believe in communism.
Regarding the CCP’s history, Mao Yushi believes
that the CCP’s anti-rightist movement,
the great famine and the Cultural Revolution are
big mistakes, resulting in tens of millions of deaths.
The reforms were good, but now the issues of
the privileged and corruption are getting worse.
The CCP’s legality to rule depends on the people.
Mao Yushi: The CCP’s legitimacy rests on
the success of its reforms and opening up.
If the CCP followed its original path,
it would have fallen a long time ago.
If it carries out political reforms and transform itself
into a democratic government, it will have legitimacy.
Otherwise, it will be in danger.
The CCP’s propaganda department recently
set off a campaign to sing communist “red” songs.
Even monks, nuns and Christians are forced
to sing, to show their loyalty towards the CCP.
This reminds people of Mao’s era. Tie Liu is worried.
He said he would set up a website to promote
the civil movement to criticize Mao Zedong.
