Red Guards
Hello, I undid your edit because the movement is described in context as "a mass student-led paramilitary social movement mobilized and guided by Chairman Mao Zedong in 1966 through 1967", Mao explicitly stopped supporting the Red Guards in 1967, as outlined in the rest of the article. To say he guided them "through 1968" would be untrue, and directly contradict multiple sections of the article. Thirst Responder (talk) 20:56, 9 February 2023 (UTC)


 * After extensive research I found that the citations in the article actually do in fact support that a meeting with student leaders and Lin Biao/Mao Zedong in the late summer of 1968 led to the abolishment of the Red Guards. I reversed my previous edit. I don't believe it's fair to say he "guided" them through 1968 though, so I went ahead and adjusted the wording so that it fit better into the article. You were right though! Thirst Responder (talk) 23:33, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
