Xi Van Fleet on Maoist Revolution and Cultural Marxism in North America
“From a very early age—kindergarten—we were taught that our parents are just biological parents and the real parents are ‘the Party,’ and Chairman Mao. And so, if there’s a conflict between choosing your parents or the Party, you should always, always choose the Party. And that’s basically what the Red Guards did.”
Xi Van Fleet grew up in China during the Cultural Revolution and is the author of “Mao’s America: A Survivor’s Warning.”
“Communism is about the abolition of private property. But I would say, more important than that, is the abolition of independent thinking. It’s really, really about the control of people’s minds. And also, it’s about dividing people because they don’t want to rule over a united population,” says Ms. Van Fleet.
“Here, especially today in schools, you are supposed to go to ‘trusted adults,’ not your parents. And so, they do not say “The Party,” but it is very similar. They want to sever the ties between parents and children because that’s how you control the children,” says Ms. Van Fleet.
