Mao's Little Red Book & America's Future

Mao’s Little Red Book and America’s Future


Last week’s visit from Xi Van Fleet was a canon shot into the heart of American Marxist ideology. She made it clear that the ideologies we are combating in higher education, secondary education, and kindergarten are the weapons of budding oligarchs, not the actual belief systems of those would-be oligarchs now seeking ultimate control of the American political landscape.


Xi has thought much and deeply about what she saw in China in light of what she sees in America. To my surprise, the Communists in China were quite public about their duplicity. As we find in American politics, political rhetoric is made to fit today’s needs and not overarching, eternal truth.


You and I are about to hand the reigns of America’s future to the teenagers in our midst. They will be the tomorrow’s thought leaders, voters, and fighters who will shape America in the last half of the 21st century.

They represent the two sides of mankind. One side is a romantic and adventuresome dreamer who imagines the many avenues available to help make the world a better place for themselves and for mankind in general.


The other side is an insecure mind wishing for the world to take care of them once they leave the childhood abode where all was freely provided. This is a non-adventurous side seeking only to be safe and secure.


Socialism is the seductive temptress to both. Its alluring promises are an invitation to the dreamer to be an achiever and to help create a heaven on earth. Those same promises of an earthly paradise and a world which will take care of everyone draws those seeking the assurance of being cared for once leaving their parent's home.


Capitalizing are those who seek to control civilizations by means of Marxist ideology. Marxian myth beckons youth to engage in a revolution to make the world a paradise.


This idea of radically transforming the world and all mankind has caught fire in the classrooms of America because of the fascination our universities' education departments have with the philosophy of Brazilian leftist, Paulo Freire. His educational program is based not on academics, but on inculcating man’s inner power to transform the world. Students are taught to become activists and revolutionaries who are engaged in transforming the world and reality itself.


Freire is pervasive in

American education.


It is how Mao ruled China.

He went first to the schools.

It is a system aimed at producing

revolutionaries trained to think

the existing system is rotten

and must be changed.


It is the reason Pew Research shows that more of America’s youth prefer a socialism over capitalistism. The Gallup Poll indicates the same.


Budding oligarchs understand this. Mao understood it. Those who employ the theoretical tools of the atheist Karl Marx know it.


The puppet masters of the American Maoist Revolution have no more belief in Critical Theory than you and I do. They love it because it works for the ends they have in mind. It is a proven tool enabling the political sociopath to have the societal control he desires.

Mao’s Little Red Book quotes from the third volume of the Selected Works of Mao Tse-Tung published April 24, 1945:


Our future is to carry China forward to socialism and communism. Our Party and our Marxist vision point to a supreme ideal of the future. It will be a future of incomparable brightness and splendor.


This was what Mao used to lure both China's youth as well as China’s peasant class. Ninety percent of China was of the peasant class.


For the peasant, the hope for “a future of incomparable brightness and splendor” was imbedded in Mao’s promise of land ownership. But the peasant had to do his part. Mao’s promise, as it turned out, was a bloody promise.


The peasants were commissioned to kill the landlords. It was a model of Mao’s bloody class struggle implemented through all of China. Of course, once a class of people had been determined to be an enemy of The People (AKA the CCP), those enemies were no longer viewed as human. It made the slaughter more palatable.


Class against class.

People against people.

Every political campaign

was people against people.

Land ownership lasted only a few years. Mao had no intent of allowing family-oriented private ownership of anything, including land. In 1955, he alerted the Chinese peasants of the problems of this private ownership. The Little Red Book records this July 31, 1955, statement from the pen of Mao:


The spontaneous forces of capitalism have been steadily growing in the countryside in recent years, with new rich peasants springing up everywhere and many well-to-do middle peasants striving to become rich peasants.


Six months later, in a speech at the Supreme State Conference, he made clear that the land he had given to millions of peasants would now revert to the state. For the “liberation of productive forces,” of course! He said:


Socialist revolution aims at liberating the productive forces. The change-over from individual to socialist, collective ownership in agriculture and handicrafts and from capitalist to socialist ownership in private industry and commerce is bound to bring about a tremendous liberation of the productive forces. Thus, the social conditions are being created for a tremendous expansion of industrial and agricultural production.

As Xi Van Fleet points out, it led to poverty and starvation. Communal farming robbed the peasant of the incentive to be productive.


It failed because there was

no other possible outcome.


Mankind does poorly as an

unmotivated slave of the state.


The complete story of the debacle is found in Frank Dikotter’s book, Mao’s Great Famine. There are more twists and turns to the story!

As we have seen in Argentina and elsewhere, socialism stops all economic development, cuts up a stagnated economy as if it were a fixed pie, enriches the oligarchs and impoverishes the nation.


Such is the product of socialism in

every language and in every culture

and on every continent in the world


Americas youth have been presented with the promises of Marxism but not the realities of its implementation to civilizations. Critical Theory invites our young people to freely criticize their parents, their government, and their past. This provides them a sense of superiority and power.


However, once the puppet masters are in full control, such freedoms are terminated. In a socialist/communist government, there is no tolerance for political criticism.


Again, quoting Mao from the famed Little Red Book:


"Don't you want to abolish state power?" Yes, we do, but not right now; we cannot do it yet. Why? Because imperialism still exists, because domestic reaction still exists, because classes still exist in our country.


In order to resolve the internal contradictions between ourselves and the enemy, for instance, the power to arrest, to try and to sentence certain counter-revolutionaries, and to deprive landlords and bureaucrat-capitalists of their right to vote and their freedom of speech for a specified period of time - all this comes within the scope of our dictatorship.


For as long a period of time as is necessary, The Party does not let them take part in political activities and compels them to obey the law of the People's Government and to engage in labor and, through labor, transform themselves into new men.


In China, even the Red Guard who Mao used to execute his Cultural Revolution found themselves, in the end, rounded up and sent to the gulags as outcasts. Mao was through with them. And, he certainly did not need their idealism. They were sent to re-education camps where a great many of them died. They had served their master well.

Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn speaking of authoritarian regimes the world over, wrote of this practice of ridding society of the rioters who ushered in the regime of the revolution when he wrote this in his book, Leftism:


Michael Oakeshott of the London School of Economics said:


An authoritarian regime, no doubt, can ‘liquidate’ the liberal supporters which, for one reason or another, helped to bring it into being.

Those who have succumbed to their desire for the promise of a world cared for by a benevolent government will, if not awakened, vote, work, and fight their way into slavery. It is a prison from which there is no escape.


For those born into China’s communism, it is impossible to imagine the concept of divinely bestowed human rights protected by the government. All they have known themselves to be is the property of the CCP.


Xi Van Fleet spoke of the long process which began for her, once in America, to be able to fully comprehend the level of freedom we have. In China, she was the property of the state with no say in anything she did. The CCP told her where to live and what work she would do.


America's youth have a similar problem. The concept of communist enslavement, ownership of its people, torture, enslavement, and terror is equally as difficult to imagine. It is even more difficult to imagine that what has happened on Chinese soil, German soil, Russian soil, and Cuban soil could ever happen on American soil.


This must change.

We must get the truth to

America’s future leaders!


Xi Van Fleet points out in her book, Mao’s America, that promoting multiculturalism will not defeat communism. Multiculturalism did not build America's amazing story. It is helpless to repair the damage socialism has done to the nation. It is inept as a path to national prosperity.


Van Fleet stated again in our meetings last week that only Christianity will defeat communism. It was Christianity and nothing else that in a brief period of time brought America from thirteen primitive and frail colonies to become, almost over night, the world's most powerful and most free people.


Christian principles of freedom

and individual responsibility

made that happen.


American socialism is reversing that progress.
