    There are many revolutionaries of the older generations in China, with a correct worldview. Thankfully they are not sitting idly, but many are concerning themselves with developing revolutionary successors, through forums like those reported by the Maoflag.net and Utopia Books in Beijing. It is a relatively minor point, but I find it interesting that he groups Mao, Zhu, and Zhou together - "and the dynasty ended." The relationship of Mao to these other two is a much-reviewed question. "Everyone" seems to uphold Zhou.

    And, by the way, obviously the poster of the video thinks that the man is "mentally ill." In fact, many pro-capitalist ideologues think that communist ideology is a form of mental illness! Abstract, disembodied "mental illness" bears no relevance to social oppression and exploitation to these people! But in fact, it does. Mental illness can definitely arise in the face of oppression, exploitation, miserable conditions, torture, and so on.
