I did read the article and their views. But I'm not sure I missed anything. The students in question sound like classical Marxists: one literally takes photos of himself with a clenched fist. Obviously the Chinese government is rotten to the core. It's a late-stage communist government, it's how all such governments turn out. The very important question which needs to be answered (and so far, nobody is even trying to answer it in this thread), is why does a student who lives within that system want to double down on it? I suspect the answer is simple and doesn't need much analysis. One of the most common stereotypes about communists is they always claim that the failure of communist states is because they didn't do it right - that they were just fake or hijacked socialist revolutions. Qiu is making that very claim in the article. But there have been many attempts to do communism right, so why do these people not accept that the lack of any success cases means the ideology is wrong?
