No, the Ba’al Shem & Chassidim (at least the way the Gaon saw it) advocated the abrogation of your personal responsibility to learn Torah, claimed they were capable of independently making Nissim, and placed the Rebbe on the level of a god (lower case).
Not that any of this is currently true (with minor exceptions), but the claims are way worse then you would think.
The reason that this isn’t currenly the case is because of the efforts of the Vilna Gaon.
