wasn’t the Red Guard also a student movement? it didn’t get deleted, but it’s definitely not looked back upon fondly. tbf most of what I know of it comes from Three Body Problem though, so I could be wrong.
there’s also the Red Army Faction (Baader-Meinhoff gang) in Germany during the '70s which killed some people.

I’m switching to DeepSeek-R1, personally. locally hosted, so I won’t be affected when the US bans it. plus I can remove the CCP’s political sensitivity filters.
