this movement. If judging by its slogans appeared in the movement, you can say it has every ism. Of course the western media paid more attention to those pro-democracy slogans as they always did (such as they did on those Arab spring protests).
When I said Red Guard, I was referring to their behaviors/actions, such as occupying the public place, occupying the state/city/county official offices, intruding official meetings. creating their own pickets... Red guards of 1966-1968 and protesters of 1989 share many similarities. Even their fates are similar: both were suppressed by the PLA. Nobody else can handle them. The difference is PLA killed more and arrested more red guards in 1968 than they did on protesters of 1989. I don't think anyone here can understand the Red guards influence on the generations of 1970s and 1980s in China.
