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.

No one has told you the obvious truth which is you must become even more of an ultra than her. Start saying breathing is bourgeois decadence and a real communist can support themselves by sheer love for the people. Tell her even knowing the word revisionism makes her too poisoned by capitalist spooks to be a REAL ultra.
This is probably a bit, but it’s also close enough to actual exchanges I had with my ex that I can almost believe it. Relationships with terminally online leftists can be weird lmao.
It’s easy.
Call her a dogmatist and accuse her of book worship.
That’s how our last argument ended, and now I’m sleeping on the couch “like a dog” (but we don’t even have a dog!)
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”.
She likes Gonzalo tho
Ask her to babysit this weekend
What is roader?
This isn’t a joke and it’s not funny. It’s breaking apart our relationship
if she understands how disastrous the sino-soviet split was, I’m confident you can reach an understanding and work things out
She just calls me a social imperialist when I bring it up
she’s a keeper, take the L and add yourself to the black book of communism
Idk have her read deng, she’s either reading too much theory or no theory at all
I’ve tried to get her to read his address to the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the CPC but she refuses. She just quotes Maos little red book at me.
I’m sorry but this is like the funniest relationship problem even if it’s a bit
