I think this video, while not about the struggle sessions specifically, does a very good job going into the problems and failures of the Cultural Revolution, and might be relevant to your question.

I think the struggle sessions were bad, unnecessary violence that was largely devoid of political content. Sorry I can't write an effortpost rn

Egh, that can suffice for now... don't need to stress yourself
