Coming Soon to America: Signs Point to the Communist Horrors of China’s Maoist Past

In her new book, “Mao’s America: A Survivor’s Warning,” anti-communist advocate Xi Van Fleet recounts all the troubling signs that America’s present is rapidly resembling China’s Maoist past.

She must know

Xi was at school when the Cultural Revolution burst onto the Chinese landscape in 1966 with all the violence of a late summer hurricane.

Large character posters on the walls of her school – where classes had been suspended – conveyed the shocking news that the place she lived in was rotten to the core.

China’s history, its traditions, its literature, its very culture, all had to be abolished.

Chairman Mao Zedong had said so.

As Xi recounts in “Mao’s America,” she watched in shock as beloved teachers were publicly humiliated in “war sessions” that grew increasingly violent over time.

Encouraged by Mao, the students then organized themselves into paramilitary units called the Red Guards and began attacking society as a whole.

They rampaged through cities and towns, destroying churches, temples, libraries and museums

They burned books, decapitated statues, and smashed precious antiquities wherever they found them.

They entered the homes of those declared by the Party to have “bad class backgrounds”.

In the midst of this terror, you were either with Mao or you were a counter-revolutionary “People turned against each other in search of enemies and in defense of Mao,” Xi writes..“Friends turned against friends, neighbors against neighbors, colleagues against colleagues and family members.”

Competing factions of the Red Guard soon graduated from the Chairman’s citation calls to each other to open war and mass murder.

Such was the hatred sown that political cannibalism – eating the hearts and livers of defeated enemies – was reported in many parts of the country. Xi himself had nightmares for years about corpses, “with eyes gouged out and bodies cut open.”

Robbed of their education, the students had turned into mindless Maoist robots, convinced that Mao was a god and anyone who opposed him was evil.

In 1986, after years of effort, Xi was able to leave this horror and study in the US.

She details reveling in the freedoms she found here, embracing the idea that all men are created equal and that individual effort and merit mattered.

She worked hard to get a degree in library science, married the love of her life, bought a house and started a family.Â

She was living her American dream.

But, as she tells it, Xi had escaped the nightmare that was Mao’s China, only to find that it had followed him to her new home.

That was the day her employer created a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) program.

Mandatory training sessions followed in which she was told that some of her colleagues were benefiting from White Privilege, while others were somehow oppressed by ill-defined “structural racism.”

Xi was appalled that the company was dividing people into “good classes” and “bad classes” based on their sex or skin color.

“I have seen all this before– she thought to herself. It was exactly what Mao had done in China, only now the divisions were not based on class, but on race and gender.

Xi decided to speak at the next DEI meeting.

“I have excellent working relationships with all my white colleagues,” she writes. “But [DEI] it has made me realize that I have been surrounded by “white supremacists”. Should I feel insecure now?

Her superiors were furious with DEI’s brutal takedown, and not long after that she was forced out of the company.

Now fully awake to the dangers of this kind of cultural Marxism, she says she recognized its signs everywhere:

As she explains in the pages of her first book, Xi saw it in overdrive during COVID, when the government labeled anyone who disobeyed lockdowns, masking and social distancing as a threat to others. She saw it in the orgy of destruction that followed the death of George Floyd.

Above all, she found it in America’s public schools, where, as in Mao’s China, students were cheating. Now easier to manipulate and control, they were brainwashed into believing that their country was systematically and irrevocably racist.

Xi says she realized that the very fabric of her adopted homeland was being torn apart by the same kind of hateful Maoist ideology that had once rocked China.

She had seen Mao burn down his country during the Cultural Revolution—and she didn’t want the same kind of discord to take root here.

But when she looked around at her fellow Americans, she realized that most of them had no idea of ​​the danger that Maoist rewriting of history or theories like DEI posed to the Republic. They were slumbering in a kind of cultural Armageddon.

“Mao’s America” ​​is Xi Van Fleet’s wake-up call for the country. Read it and learn about the Cultural Revolution she believes is destroying America’s soul.
