Letter To The Editor: There’s Nothing ‘Cool’ About The Chinese Communist Flag
The Press-Enterprise ^ | June 10, 2025 | Rick Reiss

Fenced in 🇨🇳

How disturbing to read your published “cool fact” (p. A2, June 8) about China’s Communist flag. To use the adjective “cool” along with the flag of an Orwellian communist government is just … twisted.

Does Communism naturally bring about a “cool” word association within the Southern California News Group? Newsflash: There is nothing “cool” about communism whatsoever. It is a totalitarian ideology; a blight upon humanity. It belongs on the ash heap with Nazism and fascism.

1990s era French sociologists credibly calculated that communism caused 100 million deaths, including some 65 million in Communist China alone. Yet SCNG publishes this communist chic “cool fact” just after the grim Tiananmen Square Massacre anniversary. Even now the CCP represses Muslim Uyghurs, Tibetan Buddhists, and freedom in Hong Kong.

Millions of veterans who faced down communism, along with countless millions more who suffered under it, see nothing cool about communism. You should publish a retraction with an apology …

Discuss and give examples.

If death camps are cool, so is communism.

Cool Facts, can you dig it?

Communism (and Socialism=Pre-Communism) is reponsible for more Theft, Murder, and Slavery than any other governing system in human history.

The national flag of the People’s Republic of China, also known as the Five-star Red Flag, is a Chinese red field with five golden stars charged at the canton. The design features one large star, with four smaller stars in an arc set off towards the fly.

The red represents the Chinese Communist Revolution. The five stars and their relationships to each other represent the unity of four social classes of Chinese people, symbolized by four smaller stars, under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

It symbolizes communist oppression.
Basically, it is like waving Nazi flag when German president shows up.

Slavery, genocides, mass starvations, deportations, eradication of whole towns, whole regions, and ethnic cleansings. All are well-established communist tools in additional to the inherent theft that you can always expect. But communists themselves will say that capitalism is worse because it allows people to be richer than them.

Communist China is so different than here in the USA. I’ve watched my share of news coming out of China. When people complain, on blogs or responses, or protests of any kind, their complaints are quickly removed or deleted. Sometimes the complainers are deleted, never to be seen again. Meanwhile in the USA, protesters carry foreign flags, throw bottles and rocks at law enforcement, riot at stores and restaurants with the blessing of local officials (like Mayor of LA), and innocent victims harassed.

So different. If we were as diligent as the communist Chinese, the illegal aliens would be eradicated overnight.

It doesn’t matter the current fashionable name for leftism- nazism, fascism, communism, progressivism- government from the top, down (leftism) is as old as mankind.
It will never go away as it is satanic and promised the intellectually blighted the chance to believe that they can “be as gods”.
Take a look anywhere. The leftist, globalist “leadership” knows exactly what it is doing, and has always done. It is driven by its lust for global domination and wealth...they are “fit to rule” as Hillary famously said. They will never change . They are soulless.
Now look at those who follow and vote for them. Low energy, mentally defective, intellectually stunted and self-loathing- the perfect serf. They believe the lies, promises made that will never be kept, and the push for them to feel “loved” and better than their families and neighbors. This attitude is energetically pushed during indoctrination. We committed a great disservice to ourselves and our children when we dumped them into the public schools and didn’t pay attention to what was being done to them. I can’t remember if it was Marx or Lenin who said all he needed was one generation of school children- well, here we are. We are at war, even though we don’t seem to realize it, with a generation of spoiled, lazy, violent and stupid children.
“Climate change”, hate crimes and a twisted, corrupt media are used to keep the stupid quiet and controlled. We are facing our last chance to stop them and I suggest we not waste it.

The CPC uses Communism as a tactic to manage the peasants.

They use capitalism as a tactic to manage the middle class.

They use corruption as a tactic to keep government officials blackmailed and in line.

The CPC takes full advantage of the Chinese people's Confucian mindset that "the government is always right" to stave off even the slightest attempt at bottom-up revolution. Long before the police ever got to him, a revolutionary's neighbors would detain him for making too much noise. None of those neighbors care about Communism one way or the other, but they value social order above all. This is why Islam has no chance in China.

The Chinese people, lacking a mindset that values individual liberty, will inevitably gravitate toward the control of some Emperor of another. Xi Jinping - who has been excessively concerned with reining in corrupt officials (i.e., rivals) - seems to be on his way out, so we can hope his replacement will be smart enough to end the self-destructive rhetoric about militarily reclaiming Taiwan and focus more on expanding China's economy to stifle rising middle-class dissent.

The CPC isn't going anywhere - but may become less economically Communist as the need diminishes. The next Emperor and his Mandarins may well become the leaders of the most powerful nation on Earth by default, as the West continues to wallow in collectivist delusions.

That will take some research, with the conquest of India being in the 100 millions, include Ottoman/Turkish, Persian, Africa, Spain, Eastern Europe, the Caucas region - it may be higher.

India is a good model to show that the land taken is not permanent or inevitable, albeit with some British help. I imagine the numbers in oceanic nations were high.
