What is Reddit's opinion of Red Scarf Girl: A Memoir of the Cultural Revolution?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I like that in the second part of the video, Doug advocates for free speech, asserting that Marx valued freedom of speech also.

I have to take issue with the first part of the video. It would be far too easy for a naive person to view it and come to the conclusion that people undergoing a process of "self-criticism" in the struggle sessions and concentration camps of cultural revolution-era China were simply coming to terms with their deeply held classist biases. The exact number is impossible to ascertain because for obvious reasons the CCP has never had any interest in the wider world's knowing it, but a minimum of 1 million people, and probably far more, were killed because of their political beliefs, suspected political beliefs, or to further the personal goals of party officials or Red Guards, all in the name of the cultural revolutions quest to rid china of the 4 olds: Old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas.

To choose not to contextualize the cultural revolution in an historically honest way in this video is a glaring omission, especially when there seems to be an implication along the lines of "yes, cancel culture is at least sort-of Marxist and that's a good thing." Perhaps Douglass will do so in the follow-up video he alluded to, I certainly hope so.

I cannot recommend highly enough the memoir "Red Scarf Girl" by Ji Li Jiang, a survivor of the cultural revolution. The parallels between the self-proclaimed anti-racist movement, its associated cancel culture, and the rhetoric against and expectations of people coming from what were deemed to be "wealthy" families in China at that time are striking.
