The use of war as metaphor is a longstanding literary and rhetorical trope. In political usage, war metaphors are used to manage a perceived societal problem, with the concept taking the place of an individual or state enemy in true war. The Cultural Revolution in China 1966–1976, which initially was launched as a "War against Revisionism", is a discouraging example of a metaphorical war against "-isms".
