How does the communist red guard quote reflect the political repression that mao political opponents face during the cultural revolution? Mao the tungs Thought is our life line. Those who oppose mao tse tungs thought no matter when they do so and what kind of authority they are will be publicly declared as evil by the entire party and the whole nation?

Answer:

The communist red guard was one of the paramilitary groups that were created by Mao Zedong, the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party.

The red guard was active from 1967 to 1968, during the first stage of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. They were in charge of policing culture, and removing cultural symbols from Chinese past. They were also allowed to harm political disidents.

The group disappeared in 1968 mostly due to internal struggles.
