by Xi Van Fleet
On This Page
Description
"A liberty-defending survivor of Mao's Cultural Revolution in China makes a passionate case that history is eerily repeating itself as the Woke Revolution spreads across America. Xi Van Fleet lived through the horrors of the Chinese Cultural Revolution as a schoolgirl. Forced to the countryside with other young Chinese for re-education after high school, she later escaped communism and found freedom and new a life in America. But more than 30 years later, Xi disturbingly sees signs of the show more same Cultural Marxism that ravaged her birth country of China threatening to destroy the America she now calls home. This is her dire warning to the United States. Xi compellingly tells the story of two Cultural Revolutions: one driven by Mao and the Chinese Communist Party during her childhood and the one unfolding in today's America from the progressive left. With captivating personal stories and extensive historic research, Xi reveals the stunning similarities of these two revolutions. This fascinating book shows readers that both revolutions: -Use Marxist tactics of division, indoctrination, deception, coercion, cancelation, subversion and violence. -Aim to destroy the foundation of the traditional culture to replace it with Marxist ideologies. -Weaponize youth, using them as their means to an end. -Share the same goal of achieving absolute power at the expense of the people. -Lead to the same ending: loss of freedom and totalitarian rule. Readers will be captivated by the riveting personal story of a Chinese immigrant to the United States who overcame fear and reluctance to get involved in the movement to save America. Her political activism begins with a school board speech in 2021 against Critical Race Theory in Loudoun County, Virginia that unexpectedly goes viral and ignites national media attention. Xi now devotes her life to educating the American public on the shocking parallels between these two revolutions. Because only when Americans understand what is really happening will they rise up and resist the communist takeover of America"-- show lessTags

More than just for keeping receipts. Xi Van Fleet is feisty and she has a theory based on her experiences growing up in China. (I once spoke to a woman much younger than Van Fleet who had also been brought up in China who drew the same parallels. It was fascinating to watch her do a search in Chinese characters for images from the Cultural Revolution, then explain what was going on in them, a thing I would not have understood, and then draw the parallels to what she was observing in the US today.) I think Xi Van Fleet is on to something. A more local to Massachusetts person with much the same message is Lily Tang Williams. Unfortunately, this book is not available in my local library system, so I must obtain it through the Commonwealth show more Catalog, on rather strict terms. It requires a kind of slow reading, so I must return it now, and will check it out again, in order to get the benefit. show less

- It's typical for outspoken Black conservatives to be smeared as "Uncle Toms" or accused of being the "blackface of white supremacy." Appearing on Joy Reids' MSNBC show the ReidOut in November, 2021, Georgetown University prof... (show all)essor Michael Eric Dyson verbally smeared his fellow African American Winsome Sears after she won the historic race for lieutenant governor of Virginia. He said of Sears: "There is a black mouth moving but a white idea running on the runway of the tongue of a figure who justifies and legitimates the white supremacist practices." (p. 107)
