No, just an amateur historian. I suggest you read "Son of the Revolution" https://www.amazon.com/Son-Revolution-Liang-Heng/dp/0394722744/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2850XKV17K4JX&keywords=son+of+the+revolution&qid=1647718120&sprefix=son+of+the+revolution%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-1

I'd recommend the book, Son of the Revolution by Liang Heng. It's a memoir and first person account about life during and participating in the Cultural Revolution. It might give perspective on how people can get sucked into a self-destructive movement like both the Cultural Revolution and MAGA.

Absolutely read "Son of the Revolution" by Liang Heng. His parents were educated, his father worked for the newspaper, and the book deals with the effects the Cultural Revolution had on his family, and himself as he was swept up in it as a young boy. Absolutely one of the most terrifying things I've ever read.

More seriously, try this;

While a white person is involved, it's recent Chinese history from someone with a Chinese name.

Son of the Revolution is an autobiography of a man who grew up during the cultural revolution in China. Powerful stuff. http://www.amazon.com/Son-Revolution-Liang-Heng/dp/0394722744

Son of the Revolution -- Great book http://www.amazon.com/Son-Revolution-Liang-Heng/dp/0394722744

Neither author was wrong, they were just targeted at different systems.

Read 1984 and then Lian Heng's Son of the Revolution, a first hand account of a man growing up in Maoist China. Be prepared to literally drop your jaw at how accurate Orwell was.

Then read Brave New World and turn on MTV for five minutes. The next time somebody tells you either book is overrated, laugh and walk away.
