I know presenting this in a binary like that is not great, but previously I had assumed, given both what I've seem on the grad second hand and the previous answers i had received to other questions, that this space held the same view as the CPC on the cultural revolution, that it was misguided. But my previous question asked here had answers that gave off the impression that the cultural revolution was good and even necessary.
I'm not arguing against that position, I'm just surprised by apparent turnaround is all, and would like further explanations to this conclusion.

Personally I think it was an important step in securing the revolution. It could have been implemented better for sure. We can't know if the Communist Project in China would have survived without the Cultural Revolution but we do know it survived with it. The way it is disavowed by the CPC reminds me of the denouncement of Stalin after his death.
