“Anything traditional has to be smashed!” said Xi Van Fleet, who has lived through two cultural revolutions.  One was China but what was the other?

Xi Van Fleet was raised in China and is a survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution. Living in the US since graduate school, she is now giving a warning cry that the United States is going through the same thing as China, with the same agenda being used to accomplish it.

At a recent Mom’s for Liberty meeting, Xi explained that the Chinese government under Mao targeted the young people to indoctrinate and mobilize them to carry out Mao’s own revolution to overthrow the Chinese Communist Party so that he could have full power.  The old morality and culture had to be destroyed so the new morality and culture could take root.

As Xi explained the methods, the audience could rapidly see how the tools used were very similar to what is being used in the US.  Education is replaced by indoctrination, the teachers being retrained first in order to train the children, using history, math and reading turned into political conversations to subvert the government. 

For instance, history is rewritten into fake history, such as the 1619 History Project and the infiltration of Critical Race Theory in curriculum, which teaches our Founding Fathers were racists—there is Social Justice, Equity and Diversity being implemented, new words for Marxism in order for it to come in under the radar.  With it, individual desire and ambition is destroyed.  Yes, it is here in America as it was in China.

Another key to the Chinese Cultural Revolution was to destroy religion and break down the nuclear family that protects children so the government could take control of their lives to do their bidding.  Socialist morality replaced religion based morality.  We see this happening in school systems today with school libraries offering pornographic books, sexually inappropriate materials and obscenity to undermine family values and the way we should treat one another and books with Biblical explanations not being accepted, as it gives the truth. We see it in Restorative Justice in schools, which eliminates consequences for bad behavior in order to help children become rebels and disrespectful, such as those that yell and disrupt legislative processes which are to be run by rules of order.

Xi explained that during the Revolution, children were taught to hate.  They were to hate those who had owned private property.  They were to hate their parents if they complained about Mao, so children would turn their parents into the authorities, which could result in their death.  Their loyalty was to be only to Mao.  Free speech became dead along with love of family. Children became the Red Guard.  

It only took sixteen years in China to retrain a whole generation into the Red Guard.  The US is more difficult to overthrow because there are more things to overthrow here than in China so it is taking more time—but we see the process here that happened in China and we can be very thankful to Xi Van Fleet that she is warning us in this country that what happened in China when she lived there is now happening here.  Yes, she has lived through two Cultural Revolutions—one accomplished and the other in the works.  She gave helpful advice on what can be used to fight against it.

Here is a podcast link to her presentation at Mom’s for Liberty.  There are many things that she covers.  Her presentation was excellent and riveting, a great history lesson from an eye witness where the truth is told and of benefit for all ages to watch.  She begins at around 16 minutes. . .

Xi’s presentation was followed by Dr. John Lindsay, who gave an excellent presentation of further details of how Marxism is being implemented in our country.  He is is the author of The Marxification of Education, which exposes in detail about what is happening in schools, and is founder of New Discourses.
