Online calls similar to violence against capitalists – like the cry of the French Revolution to hang aristocrats from lampposts, “by the lantern!” – not to be censored on the Internet in China.

Mr. Xu, a high school graduate in southern Zhejiang Province who wants to major in fashion design at university, said he read Mao because he wanted to change China for the better. The portrait on his Douban account is an old poster of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Mao with the slogan “Long live Marxism-Leninism-the thought of Mao Zedong!” “A revolutionary proletarian soldier”, we read in his biography.

The anti-establishment sentiment of young Maoists does not stop with the capitalist class. Radicals also wonder why the party has allowed social inequalities to worsen.

Mr. Xu asked. “But why are the masters of the country now at the job function email database bottom when the targets of the proletarian dictatorship are at the top? What went wrong?

After a classmate introduced him to Mao’s books last year, Mr. Xu researched obscure facts about China by using software to visit censored websites. He learned how the Chinese government crushed the efforts of young Marxist activists to help workers organize unions and arrested a meal delivery boy who had organized his peers to seek better protection of labor rights.

“Bureaucracy and capital are highly integrated,” he said. “Our rebellion is unlikely to end with the capitalists. “
