The same U.S. government that spent hundreds of billions of dollars and squandered tens of thousands of American lives in its “cold war” to supposedly defend against a communist takeover of America also spent hundreds of billions on communist indoctrination in American schools for the past sixty years. Higher education in America is essentially a socialist institution thanks to pervasive government funding, even for schools like Johns Hopkins University, the recipient of hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars annually, that laughingly call themselves “private.” Grove City College and possibly Hillsdale College are the only two real private colleges left.
The ideology of “woke,” the latest deceptive euphemism for communism, now dominates all American institutions and is the result of sixty years of communist indoctrination starting with the “counter culture” universities of the 1960s, and filtering down to all levels of schooling. Predominantly government-funded schooling at that. The result is the ongoing communist “woke” revolution that is destroying what’s left of Western civilization in America day by day.
My friend the late Yuri Maltsev, who spent the first forty years of his life in the Soviet Union, recognized this at least a decade ago, and once said to me that “Americans had a lucky four-year reprieve” when Trump was elected instead of a continuation of the Obama/Hillary Clinton regime. It is now obvious what Obama, the lifelong socialist, meant when he said that “we” want to “fundamentally transform America.”
Now along comes Xi Van Fleet, who lived through the horrors of Mao’s “cultural revolution” in China before miraculously escaping to America as a young woman, who has written the important book Mao’s America: A Survivor’s Warning. Like Yuri Maltsev who lived through Soviet totalitarianism, Van Fleet is horrified that the exact same thing – a Marxist revolution – is occurring in her adopted country (where she is now a citizen). The parallels between Mao’s “cultural revolution” and the American “woke” cultural revolution are striking and sometimes shocking. The puppet masters of the woke cultural revolution are Maoist communists, through and through.
For example, she proves in spades that: both revolutions use the Marxist tactics of division, indoctrination, deception, coercion, cancelation, subversion, and violence. They both destroy traditional culture and replace it with Marxist slogans and ideology (Black Lives Matter!!! Fascists!!). Both “weaponize youth” as what Stalin supposedly called “useful idiots.” Both share the goal of totalitarian power over society, and both seek the destruction of freedom.
Critical Race Theory is a primary tool of the American communist movement. As she writes: “The Communist regime used the same critical theory to divide the people. The only difference is that they used class instead of race.” In China the communist regime changed the names of schools “to be politically correct”; students were taught to hate their history and heritage; statues and symbols of China’s history were destroyed; students were encouraged to report on each other (my former employer, Loyola University Maryland, posted large posters encouraging students to call a number or email to report any politically-incorrect language they might hear on campus). All of this happens today in America as well.
The [Only] Black Lives Matter/Antifa riots of 2020 reminded Van Fleet of the government-orchestrated violence of her youth in China under Mao. In communist China free speech was only allowed for the government and its mouthpieces, just as in America today “free speech now is only allowed for the loud progressive left.”
The Communist Manifesto includes in big black letters, “Abolition of the Family” as one of its primary goals, since parents can compete with the state in educating children. Thus, “CRT in schools, where the teachings are designed to violate and disrespect the sanctity of the family and usurp parental values,” has caused children to scorn their parents as white supremacists and worse.
Xi Van Fleet, not surprisingly, is a Ron Paul admirer. She explained that when she first became concerned about what was going on in America and the government’s role in fostering what seemed to be a budding Marxist revolution she started watching political candidates on TV in 2008. And, she says:
“One candidate . . . suddenly grabbed my attention. He didn’t sound like any of the other candidates. He was speaking about issues head-on, very matter of fact about them; nothing he said seemed to be polished sound bites or political double-speak. For the first time, I was hearing something political that didn’t sound political; it made real sense to me. I’m talking about then-Congressman Ron Paul . . . . I soon bought and read his book End the Fed.”
Brothers and sisters of the 49th district...it's time for the rapture.
