The Leftists and Maoism
In his article, Mao in America, Donald Hank gives a compeling argument about how the leftist liberal dogma is patterned after the dogma of former Chinese tyrant, Chairman Mao. Hank defines Maoism as:
There are many examples of the parallel with leftist dogma and Maoism.Maoism: a refinement of Marxism-Leninism wherein the disenfranchised classes are given maximum power and privileges while the former privileged classes are outlawed and divested of all power.
In Mao’s system, it wasn’t enough that the former landlord class should be abolished in favor of a classless society. Mao wanted the former privileged class to be eternally branded and punished, not absorbed into society.
Hank concludes with— Radical feminism. The writings of feminist icons like Andrea Dworkin, which have had a domino-like influence, first on the feminists, then on ordinary people, then on government, reveal a deep hatred of “male culture” and all things traditional, particularly male-female marriage (which they derisively call patriarchy). As for anti-male bias, it is evident in TV ads, domestic violence campaigns, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) — which enshrines in law the notion that only males are capable of violence — and in “family” court. (See the books: “The War Against Boys,” and “Who Stole Feminism” by Christina Hoff Sommers’ and Warren Farrell’s “The Myth of Male Power” and “Father and Child Reunion.”)
— Affirmative action. This idea has shut thousands of qualified non-minority young people out of higher education by forcing schools to admit quotas of under-qualified minorities, who in turn have suffered because the majority of them were unprepared academically. It has also cost thousands of qualified non-minority workers jobs. This concept was carried to its logical extreme when Black Panther thugs were given free reign to wreak havoc on college campuses in the 60s and early 70s.
— Open-border policies and amnesty for illegal aliens. It is estimated that each illegal immigrant family costs the taxpayer $18,000-20,000 per year and that illegal immigrants take the lives of about 45,000 US residents annually. Yet border guards Compean and Ramos were criminalized for daring to oppose the incursion of actual criminals into our country.
- Bible believing Christians, men, sexually traditional heteros and the rich are deemed privileged and hence are demonized, while gays, women and minorities are deemed the underdog and hence awarded privileges (such as a tailor-made definition of marriage unknown heretofore anywhere in the world).
I am not suggesting that Mao had so much influence on Western culture that the Left is blindly allowing his ideas to dictate their behavior. I believe this may be a home-grown parallel phenomenon.
My point is that, because of the similarity between the modern Left and Mao, smart people should realize that we are heading for another failure similar to Mao’s and that we should do everything in our power to avoid falling over the same cliff.
Although Mao’s system proved even more disastrous than the Soviet one, the American Left are religious zealots who remain oblivious to the facts and cling tenaciously to their failed ideology.
And since they dominate the media, academia and much of government, the sheer power of their propaganda machine has overwhelmed our culture, permeating important areas of our lives, and even mentally overwhelming many “conservatives.”
