Cultural Revolution expands

THE AMERICAN CULTURAL REVOLUTION

SIMILAR TO THE COMMUNIST CHINESE CULTURAL REVOLUTION OF THE 1960'S

The current Cultural Revolution underway in America is very much in the framework of the Chinese Cultural Revolution that was ordered by Mao Zedong in May of 1966. It began by releasing all students from classes and demanding that a purge of Capitalist thought and traditional elements be eliminated from society by violent class struggle.

Mao had determined that there still existed bourgeois tendencies in the country and they needed to be eliminated. The warriors of the class struggle were mostly youth who became known as the ' "RED GUARDS". They set out across the country and engaged in public humiliation, imprisonment, torture, hard labor, harassment, seizure of property and some executions.

There was also an effort to displace urban dwellers to the rural areas and visa-versa. They also forced the professional class to work at hand labor and place semi-illiterate farmers into medical care and other technical fields. They set upon and destroyed many historical relics, artifacts and cultural and religious sites.  This was supposed to end in 1969 but lasted until 1976 when Mao died. In 1981, the Party declared that the Cultural Revolution was "responsible for the most severe setback and the heaviest losses suffered by the Party, the country, and the people since the founding of the People's Republic". 

An excellent account of the Chinese cultural Revolution is,"Life and Death In Shanghai" written by Cheng Nien in 1987. She recounts how she was accused of being a spy, her house ransacked, she was imprisoned for over 6 years because she would not admit her guilt, her daughter was beaten to death because she would not denounce her mother. She survived and now lives in the USA.

What we see today is very similar. Is this part of Barack Obama's " Fundamental transformation of America"?  The objective seems to be to erase all American History before the 1960's. There has been an assault on all cultural sites and religion  has been attacked in many ways. The warriors here are very similar to the red guards of China, except they do not as yet have the support of our government.  Can anyone imagine where this would end if law enforcement would look the other way? This has been the objective of the Marxist radicals we see today. They are continually attacking and asking the police to look the other way. They have the same ideology of the Red guards, does anyone doubt that given the opportunity, they will act any less violent.

We may be seeing that the cultural revolutionaries do now have the support of the present government. They are being supported by business allies of the government power structure. The police are now under attack as never before. Their stated goal is the elimination of the police. Up to now the penalties for reactionaries has been banning, shunning, silencing and shaming. 

We now see open intimidation of the judges, courts, and politicians. It does not take much imagination to see violence on a scale not seen since the 1860's. This situation is not an accident, but the goal of those who hate America.

Today 1/21/2021 cultural revolution continues and has more support of this present government, international business, sports organizations and left wing political leaders.
