I don’t know what to think about the Gang of Four. I think that Hua Guofeng was a dogmato-revisionist due to his “Two Whatevers” theory.

I don’t know what to think about Deng either since I’ve heard many conflicting opinions about him. I’ve also heard the claim that China is capitalist, and people on Discord often bring up this picture:
What were the Go4’s objectives? Hua Guofeng had them arrested, but Hua was an dogmato-revisionist.
I found these redsails articles pretty informative on the gang of 4.
thanks! i still have some questions regarding the decline of open criticism of leadership after Mao, ehy did that happen?
I don’t know enough about that to help you unfortunately.
