Xi Van Fleet, author of "Mao's America," discusses the Cultural Revolution's impact on education and society.

Van Fleet compares this strategy to modern movements like Black Lives Matter and Antifa, noting the use of divisive language and the empowerment of youth. She warns of the dangers of importing proletarians to create a larger underclass and divide American society. Van Fleet emphasizes the importance of understanding historical parallels to counter current political strategies aimed at consolidating power.
