Not exactly, the CCP has its ass between two chairs now; they can't really afford to prevent people from being mao or marxist apologists, for obvious reasons, and at the same time they can't afford to let them go full revolution of the proletariat as advocated by those guys, because today the CCP is in the hot seat, they are the ruling class

>Inside China’s crackdown on young Marxists Yuan Yang FEBRUARY 14 2019

>The state’s concerted oppression of young Marxists partly reflects the tension within the Chinese Communist party’s own origin story: that it has not preserved the communist ideals behind its revolutionary success under Chairman Mao. In 1978 the party formally ditched the idea of class struggle, deeming it too divisive, and instead prioritised economic development.

HUIZHOU, China — They were exactly what China’s best universities were supposed to produce: young men and women steeped in the ideology of the Chinese Communist Party.

They read Marx, Lenin and Mao and formed student groups to discuss the progress of socialism. They investigated the treatment of the campus proletariat, including janitors, cooks and construction workers. They volunteered to help struggling rural families and dutifully recited the slogans of President Xi Jinping.

Then, after graduation, they attempted to put the party’s stated ideals into action, converging from across China last month on Huizhou, a city in the south, to organize labor unions at nearby factories and stage protests demanding greater protections for workers.

That’s when the party realized it had a problem.

The authorities moved quickly to crush the efforts of the young activists, detaining several dozen of them and scrubbing the internet of their calls for justice — but not before their example became a rallying cry for young people across the country unhappy with growing inequality, corruption and materialism in Chinese society.

Informative comment thanks for the links.

This sound aerially similar to the protests that kicked off the Tiananmen slaughter. Pissed off students calling for reforms.
