Hello, awesome history enthusiasts! 📚🌍 Let's dive deep into the Gang of Four's character and impact during China's Cultural Revolution. Grab your snacks, buckle up, and let's time-travel to China!

• Key Members: Jiang Qing, Zhang Chunqiao, Wang Hongwen, Yao Wenyuan
• Context: Cultural Revolution in China, led by Mao Zedong

🤔 Fun Fact: They were not a formal organized group! They didn't all wear matching t-shirts and have secret meetings. They were kinda like an 'Avengers' but for really, really, really extreme socialism.

• Common Element: EXTREMISM. Imagine being at a party where everyone is chill, and these guys burst in yelling, "You're not partying hard enough!"
• Main Goal: Speed up socialism, by any means necessary.

👉 Real-world Example: Imagine you're in a group project, and everyone wants an A. These guys are like the teammates who want to work 24/7, disregard everyone else's opinions, and basically go overboard.

• They looked down on anyone in the Politburo who they thought wasn't 100% committed to "uncompromising socialism."
• Enemies: Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, basically anyone moderate or practical.

🍕 Pizza Analogy: Think of a pizza with various toppings. These guys would be like, "If it's not ALL pepperoni, then it's not a REAL pizza."
