    Was Liu Shaoqi a right-deviationist or a true revolutionary? Either way I don’t think he deserved what happened to him, but I also don’t know much about the guy and what he believes or what got him the name of “capitalist-roader”

      Liu Shaoqi was one of the veteran revolutionaries within the CPC. He aligned with Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping. He was called a capitalist roader for despising the cultural revolution.

        Thank you for your answer, I do have more questions though: So did he believe in allowing more private enterprise in China, or was that not really Deng’s thing until after Mao died? And what was Mao’s opinion of him?
