How "wokeism" in the USA is similar to China's brutal Cultural Revolution

Last week we posted a Tucker interview with Mike Benz, perhaps the America’s leading scholar/writer etc. on what has been called the “surveillance state”. If you haven’t seen it we highly suggest that you take a look. It is pretty nuts. So we were not inclined to run anything else from Tucker anytime soon. We make an effort to appeal across partisan divides and we understand that Tucker is a polarizing figure so we didn’t want to overdo it (though he is a remarkable journalist). Saying that, this interview with fellow Virginian Xi Van Fleet was just too good not to post, particularly since we wrote about the Cultural Revolution and its similarities to what is broadly called “wokeism” literally yesterday. (We had no idea that Tucker was about to release this interview.)

We include the interview with Xi Van Fleet but we also include some other videos covering Mao’s brutal and disaterous second revolution. It was a very dark time for humanity and one that must never be forgotten.

“400,000 people died”… “A blind frenzy.”

Watch the first part of this video. What does it remind you of?
