‘Mao’s America’ author Xi Van Fleet reveals how US is on the verge of becoming a Communist state like China
NY Post ^ | 11/1/2023 | Miranda Devine

Remember when Hollywood activist Jane Fonda chortled that the coronavirus was “God’s gift to the left”?

That was back in October 2020, at the height of lockdowns and school closures, when the country was reeling from the violent BLM-Antifa riots over the summer.

It was no time for celebration, but clearly Hanoi Jane knew something that most Americans didn’t pick up at the time.

A new book out this week explains what leftist Fonda seemed to know back then, perhaps from her papered-over days as a Communist collaborator during the Vietnam War.

While we were sleeping, in 2020, America went through a cultural revolution that was instantly recognizable to escapees from totalitarianism like Xi Van Fleet, who had lived through the terrors of Mao’s China as a schoolgirl.

Her book, “Mao’s America,” is a five-alarm warning of the menace in our midst.

She is alarmed that most Americans do not see clearly what she does, that “the root of today’s ‘woke revolution,’ not to mention its ultimate goal, is Marxism followed by Communism.”

You might remember Van Fleet as the plucky Virginia mom who burst onto the national stage in 2021 with a 60-second speech to the Loudon County School Board, warning that critical race theory and similar woke ideology being shoved down kids’ throats echoed Mao’s murderous Cultural Revolution in the China of her youth.

Her kids were grown by then and she was shy, but she felt a duty to warn the adopted country she loved about the menace it was facing.

“Chinese by birth, American by choice, survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution, defender of liberty” is how she describes herself, having emigrated to America in 1996.

I knew, and I bet many others here knew, that the left was utilizing the Red Guard cultural revolution playbook. Ultimately, the Red Guard had to be violently put down by the red ChiCom army. The college radicals rioting today should read this book.

This is new though. What is missing is the elites who ushered this mess in haven’t been killed by their creations yet. And thank God we still have guns. NEVER give them up.

How many college and Democrat radicals do you think will survive?
Y’all bring it on, you will not live long.
And I can care less. You are not Americans, you are Democrats.

Brother, you’re speaking for tens of millions of pissed off, locked and loaded Americans, and that includes a large percentage of law enforcement personnel and and even larger percentage of the U.S. military. I’m thinking that the anti-American Leftists in this country who are concerned about self-preservation would be very wise to support the re-election of President Trump!

Well, duh. I said years ago on FR we needed to team up with Russia before they teamed up with China against us. Our military is 1/10th the size it was the last time we had a draft. 1/10th and look at the freaks/confused/mama’s boys who’ll be joining you in a fox hole who would just as likely shoot you as the other side. Time to polish up on the Mandarin.

Free Trade and no import restrictions were supposed to make China more like us. Well the opposite happened.

Another web forum I’m on — a guy from Germany said Germans had fewer rights during the pandemic than under the DDR.

Yep. I’m pretty sure we may all be in agreement that was a predecessor to real bad things to come. Give it a few years when people forget they fought over toilet paper and maybe it’ll be worse?

Same. The way the neocons fumbled the fall of the wall will be identified as the biggest blunder in modern history a hundred years from now if people still have writing.
