“After decades of engaging with the CCP (Chinese Communist Party), we see that Western-style democracy has been defeated in its infancy in China, while Chinese-style authoritarianism has been exported and is gaining ground in the West.” – Mao’s America
In the fifth chapter of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar’s son, King Belshazzar throws all caution to the wind, when he and his partygoers decide to drink from the vessels of God’s temple and then refuse to humble themselves before Him. So God sends his hand to leave a message on the wall, foreshadowing that the King's days are numbered and that his kingdom would soon be divided. After Daniel interprets the message, Belshazzar is soon slain as God’s prophecy comes to pass.
In Xi Van Fleet’s 2023 book, “Mao’s America”, Van Fleet, a Chinese-born American, inks her own writing on the wall to reveal how the cultural Marxism that we are experiencing today in the United States, is eerily similar to the Chinese Cultural Revolution she experienced as a child. Using Mao’s playbook, Van Fleet exposes how the tactics of the past, are being used to manipulate Americans toward a collectivist system, replacing the values and traditions of our past with a new reality that is increasingly unrecognizable. While the Chinese Revolution was focused exclusively on class, the American system didn’t stop there, adding race, religion, gender, and a growing list of immutable characteristics to the mix.
Van Fleet’s entry into public life began with her one-minute speech to the Loudon County School Board warning of Communist strategies and the parallels she sees between the revolutions of her childhood to the introduction of Critical Race Theory (CRT) into the American education curriculum today. While Mao transformed Chinese education with a shift to indoctrination and class conflict, Americans are battling political activism through the use of Social Emotional Learning for students as young as kindergarten.
What will look familiar to Americans is what started as a degradation of the country's heritage, its people, and its longstanding values. While Maoism looked to end Chinese traditions, American progressives looked to tear down Western culture: the family, Christianity, the rule of law, and the idea of personal freedoms. Both infiltrated arts, education, the media, the use of language, and popular culture. In America, its goal was to destroy the ideals of individualism, promoting the village over the inequitable family structure. Its success is evident, as Americans have the highest rates of single-parent homes anywhere in the world.
Next was the undoing of the established American work ethic, the ending of merit to be replaced with affirmative action. In Corporate America and government, Marxism was introduced through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Rife with the hierarchy of identity politics and public shaming over whiteness, capitalism was deemed a relic of the past to be destroyed and replaced with a system of equitable outcomes.
Communism’s most famous reign came from Mao Zedong's 27-year experiment from 1949-1976 that resulted in up to 50 million deaths as he attempted to purge the bourgeois class from existence. Beginning with a “Land Reform Movement” in 1950, Mao hoped to abolish the landlord class and reward hundreds of thousands of peasants with land for the first time. But the good times wouldn’t last for long when in 1959, the “Great Leap” shifted to collectivism and communes that brought about the Great Famine, the deadliest in history. Like Karl Marx, Mao used the oppressor/oppressed model to establish a red class and a black class. As wrongthink and lack of compliance grew, the black class became larger. In America, the oppressor/oppressed model is between whites and non-whites using unequal outcomes to claim privilege by race.
The Chinese Red Guard were youths who traversed the nation bringing violence from town to town. In America, progressive fighting emanated from BLM, Antifa, and more recently Hamas defenders who use agitation and fear to force compliance.
Although economic reforms have made China the second-largest economy on earth, its political adherence to Communism still abides. In 2013, Xi Jinping became the fifth generation of Chinese leaders when the National People’s Congress appointed him to his first of two terms as president of China. By 2018, the presidential term limits enacted in 1982 would be extinguished. Now in his 3rd and limitless term, Jinping is the most powerful leader since Mao.
The Communist Party of the United States began in 1919 when Lenin invited world communists to join his uprising following the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. Although Communism in America seems benign, a softer version, emerging as Democratic Socialism, has already captured 4 members of the House of Representatives (including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) as Democrats continue its slide to the far left. Believing that communism is the ultimate end with socialism serving as merely a step along the way, the collectivists are simply biding their time until their utopian dreams can be realized.
In an exchange between characters in Ernest Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises”, one man asks another, “How did you go bankrupt”? “Two ways, gradually, and then suddenly” replied the other. While the Chinese Cultural Revolution lasted for ten years between 1966 and 1976, its effects seemed to progress overnight. Today, the radical transformation of America is in full bloom using the same indoctrination, violence, and division to bring about its transformation. Thanks to communist survivors, like Xi Van Fleet, the writing is on the wall. Will we heed her call, or will time run out?
