Capitalist Roader, and other terms

atdlouis   June 10th, 2011 7:08p.m.

I'm looking for some Chinese political terms, such as "capitalist roader." Does anyone know where I could find some?

Thanks!

Capitalist roader is 走资派
zǒuzīpài

Another is running dog: 走狗
zǒugǒu

Thanks Nicki! If anyone knows any similar terms, or can point me to a list, that would be great. I think I would call this "Revolutionary vocab".

you can get a bunch of terms from Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_offences_in_the_People's_Republic_of_China
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maoist_China_phraseology

oh here's the motherlode: 560 political terms that appeared between 1949 and 1990:
"A glossary of political terms of the People's Republic of China"
http://books.google.com/books?id=J5QbQpQTegwC&pg=PR5
the whole book is not available online, but the full list of terms is, along with many glosses, from
Àiguó wèishēng yùndòng 愛國衛生運動 爱国卫生运动 (patriotic public health campaign)
to
Zuǒqīng sīxiǎng 左傾思想 左倾思想 (left deviationist thinking)

"Enjoy"!
