It's not an exaggeration to compare the methods used by the new 'woke movement' to those of Mao's Red Guards
UK Daily Mail ^ | July 19 2020 | JOHN GRAY

Today we are no longer living in a free society. Instead, we are ruled by those who try to enforce their extreme views by shaming and ruining those who think differently.

It is not far-fetched to compare the methods of this ‘woke movement’ to those of Chairman Mao’s Red Guards, who terrorised the Chinese people half a century ago.

The so-called ‘cancel culture’ – publicly shaming and trying to undermine the professional standing of anyone who deviates from ever-more extreme standards of political correctness – is simply the latest expression of this intolerant, baying movement.

This cultural revolution is eerily similar.

Of course it is not an exaggeration.

It is exactly the same as the Mao’s Red Guard.

The Democrat corporate cabal that lost the civil war against the Republicans are now trying to undo that lost today. And by doing so will try to enslave everyone this time around.

Same ideology, why would we expect anything any different?

It is incredibly similar and there is a reason it - they are Communists, Marxists, Maoists etc...

The whole thing about Jesus is incredibly stupid. As this man correctly notes Jesus was a Middle Eastern Jew, that part at least is well established. One would think the Archbishop of Canterbury would know that.

Democrats still think they can control them. They won’t.
They’re going to get their heads lopped off by these monsters.

Even the citadels of capitalism have fallen. Giant corporations instruct their employees in diversity training but fail to provide them with medical insurance, childcare facilities or decent incomes.

The only difference is that the Red Guard had the backing of an all-powerful despotic central government. Today’s Red Guard is supported by diverse mayors and, to some extent, governors.

If we have to fight a civil war and we win, Marxism needs to be outlawed.

I generally agree.

The only difference is that these scum are not part of a government.

Yes they are often condoned by gov in the very cities they destroy, but it’s not a gov army.

Yet.

“Today’s Red Guard is supported by diverse mayors and, to some extent, governors.”

Our real rulers are the bureaucrats. They support and excuse the acts of the Red Guard almost unequivocally — they learned all about their privilege, guilt, and need for atonement in the mandatory diversity training.

I’m just waiting for executives to be dragged out of their big corner offices to be stripped and whipped with knotted ropes up and down the street as their captors scream at them for being whatever is not in vogue that day.

Formerly untouchable professors are dragged onto the university square for flogging because they are now expendable.

These bozos have no idea what they’ve created. Or perhaps they feel that THIS TIME they can control things.
Oooopps!

That is the socialist coming out.

First, it’s false that they dont get “medical” or other goodies. Which BTW are substitutes for that income he laments.

Second, it’s a false premise that that is a right of an employee.

Another DM article today New push to RENAME body parts like the Adam’s apple and Achilles’ tendon because they are ‘irrelevant and misogynistic’

I love the comment:
“Good job they’ve never been in a physics class, they would trigger
themselves to implosion with Newton’s laws, Einstein’s theory etc.
They’d probably want them renamed after a Botswanan poet.”

This THING is bigger than you realize. Marxists have come here for 150 years. Research the Fabian Society of England.
They first called themselves progressives. When that label was tarnished, they adopted liberal. Now, they use both as those who lived thru the horror & remember the Progressive Movement are dead.
Liberal once meant one who supports the LEAST amount of government for an ordered society, but proper use of words doesn’t matter to propagandists.
After 100+ years taking over the government-funded side of the educational system, & decades indoctrinating students in Marxism by Progressive “educators”, it’s not surprising to see an anti-American revolution gaining momentum.
This is the moment the socialists in politics, the bureaucrats, and the guilt-ridden rich have been waiting for (note: not all rich feel guilt, nor should they), to flip America into Soviet-style socialism.
I’ll choose to fight on my feet against the neo-Bolsheviks before I’ll live on my knees.
