I found out my girlfriend has a Jiang Qing fan page and she keeps calling me a capitalist roader. I've been trying to explain the benefits of socialism with Chinese characteristics, but she just laughs at me and yells "REVISIONIST" anytime I bring it up.

What should I do?

Edit: thanks to those of you who took this seriously. Her parents are on vacation so she is heading to their house with a group of her French Maoist friends. We will see how our next conversation goes when she is back.

    Maoists are cool honestly, I think that in general critiques from the left are principled and should be encouraged if they don't embrace or strengthen reactionary or counterrevolutionary positions.

      Ultras are fine unless they're advocating for liberal shit as a result of being cluelessly ultra.

      For example, it's fine being ultra about China needing to be more socialist and that there are too many forms of exploitation that have come from the Deng measures.

      It's not fine to advocate for regime change (which will inevitably be a liberal colour revolution) because "China is capitalist".
