I wonder how many people have considered how influential Chairman Mao has been in our colleges, among our educators and their students. I know a lot of my friends have been somewhat baffled at how kids from even conservative backgrounds end up throwing burning chairs at windows and jumping and beating demonstrators, speakers at campuses and trying to intimidate those that disagree with them.
It is difficult for many to pin down how we lost a generation to liberalism, but I believe if we take a look at everyone's favorite Chinese Revolutionary, we can begin to understand a little better how we ended up with a class struggle/racial struggle/revolution in this country being fueled by our campuses and their progressive liberal professors and their students who act as their arm outside the classroom. Well, we gotta start somewhere, so let's start here. Mao wrote in "The Orientation of the Youth Movement":
“Our young intellectuals and students must go among the workers and peasants, who make up 90% of the population, and mobilize and organize them. Without this main force of workers and peasants, we cannot win the fight against imperialism and feudalism, we cannot win it by relying only on the contingent of young intellectuals and students. Therefore, the young intellectuals and students throughout the country must unite with the broad masses of workers and peasants and become one with them, and only then can a mighty force be created...But the intellectuals will accomplish nothing if they fail to integrate themselves with the workers and peasants. ”
In case that comes off as confusing, let me see if I can boil this down a little. Essentially, Mao is saying that in order for a proper social revolution to happen, you have to have 3 basic groups: 1) Intellectuals
2) Students, and 3) The working class.peasants. Now think about this... The intellectuals are our university professors and progressive politicians, they educate the student class, which once indoctrinated, moves into the working class, the broad masses. They demonstrate, recruit, and infiltrate society. I know, I know... This sounds very...um... conspiracy theorist... but hey, some conspiracies are true! Think about what we are seeing across the country. Soros paid activists, the wall street revolters, the Never Trumpers and BLM are all rooted in socialism/communism.
I believe what we are in the midst of, is a political revolution. That's where it starts. Every revolution has to rely heavily on the youth to make it work. It's from there that they integrate into what Mao refers to as the three parts: The workers, peasants and soldiers where physical revolution begins. Mao continues by warning about intellectuals as being opportunists and not being able to trust them, because of this, and their tendencies towards leftism and anarchism.
And this, is, I believe where we are today. We have had intellectuals teaching our children and they have moved towards Identity politics, political correctness and anarchism. The "rule of law" is no longer respected by the left, and political correctness is the law of the day. It is in essence, anarchism, self governed societies... Government is bad, laws are bad, law enforcers are the devil in this view, so revolution is their next logical step. Mao uses conservatives to steer clear of anarchism in the larger picture because it desire to overthrow all government, but uses it to help overthrow "imperial" or "feudal" (ie: Democratic) government.
What happens in the midst of this (I believe this is what is happening in our country right now) is that you have to tow the "party line", in order to be accepted. You have to accept the progressive agenda or you are a fascist, a Nazi, a racist, entitled, bigoted, misogynistic, or horror of horrors... A Christian... There are many more, but the truth is this: There is a script, a set cult-like response (some call it a party-line) that progressives follow, and deviation from it means exclusion from the herd. You become an outcast, a pariah worse than a leper. It is a philosophy of multiculturalism that destroys creativity and individualism because you cannot, just like in Mao's revolutionary China, speak out against it, or you are shunned. You are deplorable. If you stand against a culture (say the culture of Islam because you believe it demeans women and abuses them, or suppresses free thought), you are labeled racist and archaic. There is a failure to nuance positions, beliefs and ideals. There is no distinguishing between multiculturalism and multi-ethnicity. America has not been a multicultural country at it's heart. Sure cultures subsist within it, but at it's heart, it is a melting pot. Cultures are absorbed into American culture, not segregated into many separate subcultures competing for dominance. Historically, when immigrants came, they adopted America and became citizens. Multi-ethnic, not cultural. Never in the history of America have we experienced a cultural segregation as we have today.
Progressive politics is an ideology that is antithetical to free thought and expression. They fight against the very things that they claim to champion and divide rather than unite. At its heart, progressive politics, while their agenda might be slightly different (or maybe not) from Chairman Mao's, holds to the same philosophical underpinnings. They abandon the epistemological (epistemology = How do I know what I know) underpinnings of what our country was founded on (outlined in the constitution), and adopts instead a fluid epistemology that say "every man can do what is right in their own eyes", because they hold to an existential philosophy that is rooted in doing what you **feel** is right as opposed to what you **know** is right. You might read this and think I am crazy. You may be right, but it is something to think about...
