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. Image
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.

Because Communism is a fanatical religion that seeks to "liberate" (transform) the human soul. Family and faith ground you and your soul and keep you from wandering. Freedom allows you to believe things that aren't Communism. It is a spiritual battle.
The fundamental belief of Communism isn't some economic policy or even its mode of transformation ("dialectical materialism"). It's that human beings are intrinsically Communist as a sociospiritual being ("species-being") and have been estranged from that by private property.
Communists believe they know true human nature before the Fall of Man, which is individuation and localization, and they seek to undo that Fall by abolishing private property (a basis of freedom), faith, and family so we can be liberated and return to Eden on our own terms.

There's a simple explanation for what's happening in the world right now if you'll let yourself accept it. It's a global Communist revolution.

The missing piece to accepting it is simply that Communism evolved to solve the problem of productive forces by incorporating fascism.
An additional piece of interest is that Communism also evolved through the various liberation movements, initiated as "anti-imperialism" by Lenin, to adapt to each region's unique context, mostly through the technology of cultural revolution. So they're the same but different.
The necessary ingredients for this, beyond Lenin, were Mao's Cultural Revolution, the adoption of Dengism in China after Mao (with the help of the US State Department under Kissinger), Herbert Marcuse's importation of American Maoism, and Paulo Freire's model of radicalization. Image

Based.

But do understand "root causes" is a Marxist concept here referring to the "structural" causes, as Marxists see them: global inequality, climate change, American imperialism, etc.

Their analysis would conclude we owe them citizenship and reparations to address these.
A Marxist "root causes" analysis of the border crisis would conclude that the border needs to be more open, people need help getting here, they then need help being here, citizenship should be granted, illegality should be dropped, climate change must be stopped, and the likes.
Addressing the "root causes" of illegal immigration would therefore also include taking climate action in the form of more energy poverty in the West, building infrastructure for those nations at our expense, and not interfering with their relationship with China and the CCP.

They're Communists.

There's so much to say about this that I barely know where to start, from Biden's long relationship with the Council for a Livable World to Queer Theory and queering nuclear policy to Herbert Marcuse rearing his ugly head in American Leftism yet again.
I guess we can start them with Biden, even though it's "Harris/Walz" "finishing the job."

Biden was elected to the Senate over 50 years ago by the Council for a Livable World, which @TrevorLoudon1 documents as a Communist front organization for gutting the American military.
@TrevorLoudon1 The Council for a Livable World's agenda matches remarkably closely with the "Queering" agenda, which seeks to "queer" the idea of mutual deterrence, which would, of course, not be adopted by Russia or the People's Republic of China. This is easy to see through.

Real Communism is the heaven of the Communist religion. It's *never* real Communism, never will be real Communism, and never even can be real Communism. This is a standard Marxist cop-out to avoid responsibility for their failures, like usual. Image
I've shared this snippet from Marx many times, but it's crucial to understand Marx's distinction between what he called "crude communism" and what I'd refer to as "transcendent Communism," which is what Marxism pushes, to understand why "real Communism has never been tried." Image
"Communism as the positive transcendence of private property as human self-estrangement" is the way Marx describes his Communism. Private property isn't just to be abolished, it's to be annulled (aufheben). This requires man to make a spiritual change that transcends property.

It's almost impossible to understand what's going on with the Leftist use of the word "hate" unless you understand that they believe that the only people who are truly human are Communists. That's a fundamental Communist article of faith going back to Marx, btw. Image
Let's start with Marx, in the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 (before the Communist Manifesto and more foundational):

His transcendent Communism is described as "the complete return of man to him­self as a social (i.e.* human) being." Image
That's just one example. Marx used some variation on the word "human" over 300 times in those essays, very many of which indicating specifically that man is only truly human when he's a socialist. He even described (see above) his philosophy as "fully developed humanism."
