    The idea that the Chinese Civil War and Cultural Revolution were waged by “elites” in any conceivable sense is flatly wrong.

    Jesus fucking Christ.

    The very idea of “elitism” was what was on trial during the hottest years of the revolution.

    It was the process of creation of an entrenched counter-elite - a process which had been ongoing since at least WW2 in the CCP.
