Excuse me, but where are the sources? All this article does is make some claims and shares some anecdotes without any sources to back them up.
Also, how is the cultural revolution responsible for Deng’s support of Pol Pot? Furthermore, the bourgeoisie powers would endlessly attack and demonise socialism regardless of what happened during the cultural revolution.
The three “sources” in the article only talk about the views of the current CPC leadership, no opinion polls are cited, neither any official studies. When discussing the Cultural Revolution, something that condemns the current CPC leadership, surely their views cannot be taken as an authoritative source.
If anyone reading this is interested in a counter-history of Cultural Revolution China that challenges the hegemonic view of the West and the Chinese bourgeoisie and petty-bourgeoisie intellectuals, read ‘The Battle for China’s Past: Mao and the Cultural Revolution’ by Mobo Gao. I’d also recommend ‘Shenfan’ which covers the Chinese revolution extensively, and it’s sequel ‘Fanshen’.
Also, watch the documentary film ‘How Yukong Moved The Mountains’.

Mobo Gao is a Maoist. You mentioned pro-Maoist pieces. Best to avoid this.
K.
Proving your points through data, rational arguments, and historic accounts is Maoist.
No. Good day.
