As many of you know, I'm currently reading (when I have time to read) about the historical facts of Mao's Cultural Revolution, which are shocking. We know our kids are being made into a new Red Guard, but as I learn, I see it far more in the illegal aliens in our countries.
The details about how Mao, together with his general Lin Biao and propagandist Chen Boda, were able to build (1962-1966) and then unleash (June-August 1966) the Red Guard in China, especially Beijing, did not make me think of our brainwashed kids. They remind me of "migrants."
Aside from the raging Communist hatred and focus on the person of Mao, there are two key forces that created the Red Guard:
1) A "dreamer" population whipped up against class enemies, that's new to the population (kids in China)
2) A two-tier legal system protecting them.
In China, Mao unleashed relentless propaganda, with the help of Lin and Chen, mostly targeting children, that
(a) extolled revolutionary heroes and martyrs
(b) decried secret class enemies through all the ranks of society.
Chen Boda declared: "Sweep away monsters and demons!"
This dynamic is repeated here to some degree with illegal aliens far more than with our disaffected, broken, brainwashed youth (at least for now). They're promised something like the American Dream, for themselves, and whipped up to come north against dangerous odds.
They're told what a land of plenty the United States is and that they can have a better life there, and they're also told "all those houses will be yours." They're given a taste of this through unbelievable "social services" when they get here, after crossing illegally.
This is a population rife for Leftist hatecraft in the form of "we know you are supposed to have everything, but the selfish hoarders ("capitalist roaders" in China) are keeping you from it." I would expect they're being fed this messaging in their "social services."
In Aurora, Colorado, with the apparent support of the state, we see what it looks like when this actually plays out. Neighborhoods, apartment blocks, etc., being taken over by heavily armed thugs who believe that property is now for them. It's just a taste of what could come.
This brings us to the other essential ingredient necessary for the Red Guard to follow Lin Biao's dictum to "Smash the Four Olds": legal immunity. Mao put forth a dictum of 16 policies in 1966 that included a denunciation of hidden class enemies and legal immunity for students.
The most radical students who were forming the Red Guard (at Tsinghua University Middle School) understood their job: destroy all the hidden class enemies and smash the old world to build the new one (be able to see what can be, unburdened by what has been).
In the Red August of 1966, the violence was almost entirely concentrated in Beijing, despite the youth radicalism being all over the country. Why? Because the Cultural Revolution Group, which answered only to Mao and had power, was there, proving they could get away with murder.
That is, the Red Guard, in 1966, held itself back everywhere except in places they knew they were legally immune and could get away with anything. "To Rebel is Justified!" was the message, and with legal protections, they destroyed or stole billions and billions, and more.
The Cultural Revolution Group, which included Madame Mao, was very clear that students, even in the acts of beating "Black Gang Elements" and "capitalist roaders," a.k.a., "bad people," to death were "justified" and legally protected in every way. They got the message.
In particular, Mao and the Cultural Revolution Group were shoring up their power by unleashing these immunized students against the Party Work Groups that had previously restrained them, under the auspices that they were "suppressing the masses" by stopping the Red Guard.
Mao was waging a revolution against his own party, the CCP, and his own government, and he did it by turning anyone who resisted the assaults of the Red Guards into "bad elements" whom the Red Guards would destroy. To stop them was a crime, so no one could stop them.
This brings us back to the illegal aliens filling our countries today, with this visible in the US and Canada but vivid in Europe and undeniable in Britain. It's not just that they have legal immunity to cross in and stay. They are increasingly getting the memo for far more.
In the UK, there are literally rapes, stabbings, and gang violence across the country perpetrated by the illegal (and legal) aliens there, and it's "racist" and "xenophobic," literally illegal under British law, to oppose, expose, or criticize them, even in gentle ways.
Let me be clear: "Two-Tier Kier" Starmer has his Red Guard, even though they are Green, in the United Kingdom, and "to rebel is justified" for them, and they know it. They will Smash the British World and build a new world the Fabian Communists hope they can control.
As this unfolds, British culture will be smashed in the name of some Caliphate, just like has happened in other countries swarmed by radical Islam. The British government, under Starmer and Labour, are encouraging this. Why? Look back to Beijing in 1966 and understand Mao.
This same program is playing out across Europe and rapidly increasing in Canada and the United States, where the stage has been set. They are importing a Red Guard and using "DEI" as a pretext to establish a two-tier legal system that unleashes a Cultural Revolution.
Be aware!
