Re: Cultural Revolution was wrong and it will never be allowed to recur: People’s Dai
Mao feared the danger of capitalist restoration and the Culture Revolution was launched in what he saw as the need to combat revisionism and continue the revolution under the leadership of the CCP leading the proletariat. The target of the Cultural Revolution was supposed to be revisionists and people taking the capitalist road. But some of his followers used the mass movement to propel themselves to power and ill-treated many people by branding them 'capitalist roaders'. The original idea was discredited by the actual practice of the movement.
