# "批判资产阶级法权思想，全心全意为人民服务！" (Criticize bourgeois-right thinking, serve the people wholeheartedly), Shanghai poster

A crowded, well-stocked shop in winter, with shoppers, staff, children and Mao's Little Red Book in view, under a red banner reading 'Criticize bourgeois-right thinking, serve the people wholeheartedly!'. The slogan uses virtue phrases ('serve the people') as the warrant for a campaign line, with no testable claim attached (glittering generalities).
