A woman who survived Mao’s Cultural Revolution in China is warning that the U.S. is headed down the road to communism and is looking more and more like the country she grew up in as those in power use race to divide America.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson, author Xi Van Fleet said that the indoctrination taking place in American schools is setting us up for a bleak future and that we must stop the “full-blown communist revolution” taking place if we want to survive.
Van Fleet grew up in China during the Cultural Revolution before moving to the U.S. in 1986 and earning master’s degrees in English and Library Science. She was seven when the Cultural Revolution started and sent to labor in the countryside of China when she was 16, but was able to enroll in college following the death of Mao.
She told Carlson about the many parallels she sees between the state of America today and what she observed in Mao’s China during her youth. She cited indoctrination in American schools, from universities down to kindergarten, as a dangerous trend, with professors and curriculums embracing Marxist ideology and turning out students who also subscribe to this way of thinking. She said that this has led to a “celebration of violence” like the riots that we saw after the death of George Floyd, which is what inspired her to get involved politically.
She explained that the political discord on college campuses is similar to what she saw in China when she was younger, adding that under the communist belief system, individuals become convinced that the actions that oppressed parties take against their oppressors are justified – and that is exactly what she is seeing here.
“That includes murder, kidnap(ping), raping – it's all justified just like the Cultural Revolution,” Van Fleet noted. “That's what's happening in today's America.”
She believes the solution is regaining control over universities and schools and standing up against dangerous policies, such as teaching critical race theory in elementary schools and diversity hiring in American businesses. According to Van Fleet, race is being used to divide America the way class was used to divide China. It is the elites who start revolutions and turn people against other elites in order to exert control.
America needs to wake up
She told Carlson that she regrets not talking about her past until recently because people don’t know what can happen, and American schools are making a mistake by not teaching students about the dangers of communism. While she thinks more people are starting to see the light, she has found that a lot of people think communism went away with the Berlin Wall.
Her new book, Mao’s America: A Survivor’s Warning, lays out the case for how easily America can fall into a Marxist trap and what we can do to stop this from happening.
Van Fleet has been urging Americans to wake up for several years. Discussing the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party with Fox & Friends in October, she said that the alarm over the CCP in America is justified. “Communism is the biggest evil the world has ever seen. CCP alone has killed more than 80 million Chinese and its killing never stops.”
“Wokeism is really Maoism with American characteristics, and all its political identity, cancel culture, and attack of the traditional values and meritocracy censorship.” The CCP, she said, has infiltrated American corporations and is buying off politicians, accessing children’s minds via TikTok, and buying up American farmland.
To protect ourselves from turning into China, she says we need to study history and pay attention to the horrors of communism in other places around the world. After all, as she told Carlson, “You can’t fight something you don’t understand.”
