    I didn’t say anything about the gang of four though. Will you support an event in the USA which would certainly “caused terrible suffering for millions, lead to a massive brain drain with scientists, doctors, and other high level professionals escaping” and also certainly will “gave the global bourgeois powers endless ammunition to attack and demonise socialism.”

      Only if there was an absolute benefit for the working-class and oppressed at the end of it all.

        LOL. You are viewing such an event in the US the same way you view the cultural revolution: from the comfortable position of hindsight. How will you react if you see your landlord dragged out of his house and beaten on the streets before being hung up like Mussolini, the terror apparent in his eyes, his young children crying their eyes out as they plead with a group of former tenants doing the beating. What about that alt-right friend you met in high school? What if you saw him placed against a wall before someone buries a bullet in his brain? What if you saw hundreds of thousands of people like the liberal techbros in Silicon Valley fleeing alongside the likes of Ben Shapiro? All this without knowing either way whether it would benefit anyone, much less if it will be an ABSOLUTE benefit. Remember, the perpetrators of the cultural revolution at the time probably did think what they were doing was beneficial.

          Depends. I wouldn’t want left-deviation leading the movement to a Gang of Four situation, in which the revolution could be lost. But hey, I want to see what you want to see. Just not at the expense of the revolution and Marxism-Leninism.

            But I didn’t mention the left or any communist parties or whatever. I’m talking about violence done in raw anger, in vengeance by the masses of people themselves?

              I mean, fine, but I’m used to thinking ahead and I prefer that there be discipline in the ranks so that the revolution is secured. That’s all. But hey, gulag or sentence those people to death or let the proletariat have at it.

                Really? So you agree with actions taken during the cultural revolution?

                    I want to know if you took issue with “giving un-educated farmers and inexperienced students power over the life and death of statesmen, professors, scientists, writers, and artists, and to wantonly act out, without accountability, the most petty and horrific class and generational revenge fantasies in the flesh.” in the context of the US.
