Red Guards (China) A major instrument of the
Cultural Revolution, consisting of bands of students which followed
Mao Zedong's instruction to root out the enemies of the (permanent
Maoist) revolution. In 1966–7, hoards of marauding youths roamed through the streets, venting their frustrations against the establishment in party, bureaucracy, and education facilities. Teachers were attacked and denounced for being ‘bourgeois’, and even parents became subject to denunciation and public censure. They soon got out of control, and were overpowered by the military in 1967.
