To add to your point, I think of Mao's fantastic essay On Contradiction: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-1/mswv1_17.htm
In particular, this part:
The relevant point being that someone's, or some entity's, relation to the cause is not always as simple as "for" or "against", "helping" or "not helping", "corrupted" or "pure." There are times that interests intersect, but are not identical. I'm not sure if it can be generalized adequately how to deal with that fact, but it is something we have to contend with.
Thanks for sharing!
Honestly diving deeper into mao and Chinese history has been an incredibly enlightening experience.
Guerilla History is halfway through a four-part series (plus a precursor episode on GH or revleft) on China which is a great resource for anyone curious.
