When I was younger, I actually met a woman, a Beijing intellectual born in the 1910s, who had gone to Yan An in the 1930s (the Chinese Communist base and stronghold during its fight against Chiang Kai Shek Nationalists)
At the time, she was young, urban, “progressive” and idealistic.
She discovered the top CCP leaders were illiterate, uneducated peasants, and sex-perverts, who would divide-up the best-looking females for their own harems, while trying to steal as much loot as they could.
I say to this young wokester - its time to walk up to the reality of your “heroes,” sweetheart.
IOW, they were Democrats................
