Cultural Revolution Survivor’s Plea: “Teach the Horrors of Communism!”
Xi van Fleet is one of the most important voices in America – nay, one of the most important voices in the West – today.
Interviewed by Eric Metaxas last November, the outspoken critic of Communism said,
“2020 was when I realised, Communism is here. It’s taken root, and I have to do something.
“I’m talking about Communism, not because I read something. Not because I took a course.
“I talk about Communism because I’ve lived under it.”
Xi is the author of Mao’s America: A Survivor’s Warning.
Courageous Voice
A mum and dissident, Xi (pronounced “she”) is most known for her 2021 60-second takedown of Critical Race Theory at a school board meeting in Loudoun County.

Like Metaxas, I discovered Xi’s work in 2023.
Her motivation is selfless, summed up by the simple plea: “I don’t want to live under Communism again.”
Xi’s pain-laced sincerity grabs the heart just as powerfully as her well-articulated warnings about Cultural Marxism do.
I was so impressed by her bravado that my admiration turned into a Caldron Pool exposition in order to introduce Xi to an Australian audience.
Though my pronunciation of her name was repeatedly incorrect (mea culpa), Xi also dominated a conversation about Javier Milei, with Steven Tripp and Adam Zahra via the X-Candidates.
Cultural Revolution
Since November, Xi’s profile, message, and platform have soared.
With it, Westerners have become better acquainted with important terms like ‘struggle session’.
The West’s version of this is demonstrated by CRT activists weaponising ‘white guilt’ such as with “cultural safetyism and repenting of ‘whiteness.’”
Likewise, the manipulative shaming practice of confessing to so-called ‘heteronormativity’, or ‘implicit racial bias’. (The oppressor/oppressed list goes on).
Speaking with Tucker Carlson in late February, Xi also warned about the parallels between Western schools, Mao’s Red Guard, and Marxist indoctrination camps.
Xi said that people in the West have changed.
They’ve been indoctrinated for decades, and we’re now reaping the consequences.
“We are dealing with Marxists and Communists who control our institutions, and so they can use this democratic process and carry out their agenda and destroy everything on the path.”
“The only way for us to win the war is to get our schools back.”
“Get our universities back, and of course, media, because those are the institutions that shape people’s minds. And they’re all in the hands of Marxists.”
Marxists only love power, Xi added.

History Repeats
In his own interview with Xi, Eric Metaxas said,
“I cannot overstate the importance of us understanding what happened during the cultural revolution in China.”
Nor overstate, he added, the significance of having a “survivor warning us that these things are happening now.”
Repeating another survivor of Communism, Richard Wurmbrand, Metaxas slammed Cultural Marxism as “deeply satanic”.
Agreeing with Xi, he added,
‘When we’re talking about cultural Marxism, we have to say Marxism is atheistic.”
Atheism is anti-God. It worships power.
“It’s not neutral. It’s not secular. It hates God, and hates God’s values.
“Anything that proceeds from belief of the God of the Bible is the ‘enemy.’”
That means “the family. The sanctity of a man and a woman being together in a marriage – everything that parents love for their children; all of these things are the enemies of cultural Marxists.”
You “see this in Mao’s cultural revolution; you’re seeing this in America today.”
For example, the undermining of parental rights by indoctrinators masquerading as educators.
“I’m not speaking metaphorically; this is a satanic religion,” Metaxas said.
“We need to understand it because it’s here.”
“We have to fight against it, or be part of making it happen” by remaining silent.
Culture Wars
As Ludwig Mises wrote his book Planned Chaos, criticising Communism in 1947,
“The rule of unrestrained violence and usurpation was substituted for the rule of law.
“They call everybody whom they dislike… a Fascist.”
Far-left fanatics who prattle on about “changing the date”, banning Australia Day, “white systemic racism”, Donald Trump being Hitler, or MAGA policy voters being fascists, are not hard to find.
Neither are damning videos that contradict hurried, woke headlines.
Context often counters cancel culture, coverage, and the agenda-driven leftwing political rhetoric those headlines serve.
This goes back – at least – as far as 2016 onwards.
Suffice to say, evidence supporting Xi’s message is panoptic.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
