You might be right as a philosophical matter. But I suspect that in the minds of the peasants, it's a fight against capitalism. Your average peasant probably can't make the distinction you've made. They don't even know what capitalism is. All they know is that they've been told that capitalism is coming to China, and they don't like it.

Actually, they've been told everything done is communism and for the progress of communism and the people they know doing these these things are the gongchangdang (communist party) and they are literally fighting the communist party and have been being abused by the communist party.

It is the western lefty elites of the media turning it around and making it anti-capitalist.
