Dazibaos (big character posters) in the early days of the Cultural Revolution, 1966.
Dazibaos were a means for the masses to bring misdeeds of their bosses or local piliticians to the public attention. Papers would often write pieces based on the dazibaos. This way they could excert pressure on those crititcized, who would then yield and get rid of the problems. In other words, dazibaos were an important means of proletarian democracy.

Exodus, or the voluntary prisoners of architecture
Rem Koolhaas, Madelon Vreisendorp, Elia Zenghelis, and Zoe Zenghelis (1972)
Once, a city was divided in two parts. One part became the Good Half, the other part the Bad Half.
The inhabitants of the Bad Half began to flock to the good part of the divided city, rapidly swelling into an urban exodus.
If this situation had been allowed to continue forever, the population of the Good Half would have doubled, while the Bad Half would have turned into a ghost town.
After all attempts to interrupt this undesirable migration had failed, the authorities of the bad part made desperate and savage use of architecture: they built a wall around the good part of the city, making it completely inaccessible to their subjects.
