Thanks Miqi!
Some great points! Mao infused Marxist rhetoric as a counterbalance to the superstitious and often lack of forward thinking when he took charge. As a result, and in order to be seen as the New Era, many teachers (CMA) took to also couching their training in these terms. It was part of getting rid of the old and bring in the new. Mao was far more skilled in this level of education because he lack the "native training" of his counterparts. Many of the rhymes associated with family methods utilized this 'double meaning" as a way to throw off the new while still keeping the old.
My closese reference is this seminal work by David Palmer, where one sees the strategy of Marxist propaganda taken to odd levels and how people dealth with 'change'.

One's learning of yiquan SHOULD HAVE NOTHING to do with political ideology. Skilll gained through diligent practice is the end result and always should be. Wang did borrow, what he considered intrinsic features of other style ONLY because what he saw, in the mein, was not reflective of true skill in any art.
