Falun Gong

Falun Gong is a Reactionary religious movement founded by Li Hongzhi in the early 1990's. It was banned in the People's Republic of China since 1999 by Jiang Zemin, who considers the movement to be a feudal superstition fundamentally incompatible with the materialist philosophies of Marxism and an 'absurd fallacy'^[1]. Since then, Falun Gong has evolved into a far-right movement armed with an extensive anti-communist media apparatus including The Epoch Times.

Beliefs

Falun Gong is an idealist philosophy with moralistic themes that gives it a reactionary character. Li Hongzhi is known to hold views against homosexuality, miscengenation, and modern technology such as computers.^[2] Practitioners believe their meditation exercises have material health benefits.
