    Period of time when communities and organizations had to turn in their colleagues for not supporting the party. Kids reporting on their parents, coworkers reporting to each other, that sort of thing. It was a period marked by a lot of 'virtue signalling' support for the party.

    Highly recommend the film "The Blue Kite" concerning the period (can't speak to the accuracy but at least the creator says its true).
