Answer:
The communist red guard was one of the paramilitary groups that were created by Mao Zedong, the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party.
The red guard was active from 1967 to 1968, during the first stage of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. They were in charge of policing culture, and removing cultural symbols from Chinese past. They were also allowed to harm political disidents.
The group disappeared in 1968 mostly due to internal struggles.
