D.L. Gardner: Communist Roots of the Woke

 Last week House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) described his party’s efforts to draw state districts favoring Democrats, “We are in an era of maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.”  

Well, so much for toning down political rhetoric days following the latest assassination attempt on President Trump. As someone said, ‘when they tell you what they are going to do, believe them.’

In XI Van Fleet’s second book, “Made in America – The hidden history of how the U.S. enabled Communist China and created our greatest threat” she compares her experiences growing up during China’s revolution with what she sees in America.

XI wrote, “The consequences are stark. America not only ‘lost China’ to Communism in 1949, but decades later, it now faces the unsettling prospect of losing itself to ideologies rooted in the same Communist doctrine. History is never truly behind us; it keeps repeating itself. Yesterday’s liberalism has steadily morphed into the very Communism it once opposed, now creeping into American life under new names and guises. The failure to learn from history has left many Americans blind to the resurgence of Marxism—now repackaged for the modern era as Cultural Marxism, or more popularly, ‘woke’ ideology.”

XI continued: “For me, the fall of China was not just historical, but also deeply personal. Ten years later, I was born into the bondage of Communism and spent my first twenty-six years under its suffocating grip….”

Today, it’s easy to see the leap Communist China made toward drawing the U.S. closer into Communism. XI wrote, “In January 2020, China signed the Phase One Trade Agreement with the Trump administration, pledging to purchase an additional $200 billion in U.S. goods and services over two years. But instead of honoring the deal, the CCP unleashed the COVID pandemic on the world and then conveniently invoked the agreement’s force majeure clause—citing the outbreak as an unforeseeable event to evade its commitments.”

During the COVID years we had a totalitarian in the White House leading a host of little totalitarians across America mandating masks that couldn’t stop a virus, vaccines that had not been tested followed by untested boosters, and prohibiting meetings including outside events. Americans gave up personal freedoms when threatened with “laws” and loss of jobs or businesses. XI commented, “The CCP grew strong because America lost its way – having strayed from the founding values….”

Toward the end of her book, XI wrote about President Trump’s fight against Communism, “it is also against the Marxist ideological subversion within America itself. He is the first U.S. president to take a direct stand against domestic Communism. Upon taking office, he immediately abolished all DEI policies and programs in the executive branch of the federal government, recognizing them as a tenet of Cultural Marxism—an internal threat designed to weaken the nation from within.”

“The connection is clear: Most if not all of the American left and Communist China’s totalitarianism are fundamentally linked—they share the same ideological essence…. Their differences lie in how they manifest across different nations, cultures, and historical stages.” 

No doubt China has invaded America across open borders, but also inside birthing suites where Chinese mothers birth American citizens before returning to China. It’s a huge business unimpeded by any American law. The Supreme Court is deliberating citizenship birthright right now.

China just banned AI cost cutting as a reason for human layoffs.

Don’t expect to ever see the same type of protection for Americans.

10:37 is right. I keep it simple.
Communism is rooted in atheism. When we see organ harvesting, and the mass slaughter of a country’s citizens, it should not surprise us. Communists tell us who they are and we should listen and learn.

There is something a lot of you brainwashed types will never understand. There is a concept of communism that lives in the hearts of everyone. Egalitarian, fraternal unity against tyranny, feudalism, and exploitation of workers and resources. You all confuse that with economic systems, with social systems, and with governments.
America is not some beacon of capitalism like you believe.

People like JP Morgan profited from both sides of World War I and when peace was near, he nearly went bankrupt. So the US and British cooked up a scheme to draw America in, and prolong the war. The costs of that war was socialized and paid by the US Taxpayer. JP Morgan’s kept the profits.

You sheeple have all been brainwashed into thinking you live in some sort of bright shining capitalist Utopia.

There has yet to be a single economic, social, and political system developed on this planet that is truly to the benefit of the proletariat. It always becomes a corrupt system of elites stealing from the masses and hiding their crimes with laws and state surveillance and secret police.

Always!

When Trump promotes and enables our government to take an ownership stake in private entities, is that communism or socialism? I get confused about the difference between those two economic systems and what purports to be "capitalism" here.

Yup. Doesn't even know what the Hammer & Sickle represents on the wall behind the stage. The idiot "workers" they promise the moon to, and get to vote for them, are the first ones lined up and shot because they about not having enough to eat. They vote themselves into Socialism, then one has to shoot themselves out of Communism....but Ha!....too late. Then "He who does not work shall not eat". Get ready America.

For the communist apologists, I understand the anti capitalist reasons but there is an inescapable answer to the question of which communist country is better than the the US?

China became communist like Cuba became communist. Same reasons. They were tired of being slaves. The wonderful capitalists had so exploited them for cheap labor and their natural resources that they could no longer stand the miserable lives they had to live. How we will react when Artificial Intelligence replaces us and leads us to desperation remains to be seen. If you think Mr. Trump will save you, think again, you do not understand capitalists.

Those poor peasants in China who were reduced to drug addiction and slavery by the wonderful capitalists that dominated China for generations resorted to communism because the were all anti-God. Right KF. Get a life.

America was the solution after 2000 years of that crap. We are the Alamo, and either we win back the values of what America was - the third world will just walk in an take over - like Khrushchev once predicted saying, "We will take over without firing a shot - we will bury you". Sounds about right because of the present day cheek-turning Christians who don't have the zeal of the Crusaders who beat back the enemy. Ah, but the enemy is well within the walls of America now.....and owns it.

Democrat Purposeful Crime Party House “Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) described his party’s efforts to draw state districts favoring Democrats, “We are in an era of maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.”

The stone cold fact that Democrats consider these times as “warfare” needs to be drilled into every idiot Republican’s brain. Madison County Stupervisor Gerald Steen, backed by Ridgeland Mayor Gene McGee gave Democrat Karl Banks a lifetime appointment via gerrymandering, and therefore turned the county of Madison over to Democrats, with Mike Espy running the show as board attorney.

So, any and every Republican not supporting getting rid of Bennie Thompson needs to be voted out for the traitor that they are. Because like Walmart Obama Hakeem Jeffries said, “We are in an era of maximum warfare.”

I wish some of you would study governments, economics, and how societies throughout history have failed. Throw in human behaviors so you can recognize " crazy".
One party rule headed by one leader is the definition of dictatorship.
Try being loyal to our founding documents and not to a man or party! Try to learn what successful economies and successful government do and don't do.
Lincoln was right, " A House Divided Cannot Stand". But he didn't mean a house run by one man and one set of interests. We defend freedom and independence, not a political party!

It seems like you have been brainwashed to think social issues like generational poverty from digging and dying in coal mines is a good thing because the family who used government corruption to take over the mineral rights to all the mines paid someone to make you think that’s a good thing!

Imagine if you thought about generational poverty among exploited white coal miners the same way you think about generational poverty among the exploited poor in Jackson or the Delta.

So instead of cutting the budget and reducing the deficit ( which used to be the GOP position), this current administration has increased the deficit and is building a gilded ballroom with a bunker for the President and his "buddies". He has "redecorated" the White House with gold froufrou everywhere and marble for the bathroom. And, he wants to redistrict the two party system in favor of a one party system. And, we apparently are so forgetful, we've forgotten that both Putin and Xi were initially elected.

There are almost no “poor peasants” in China today.

Every rural Chinese peasant has a house on the collective farm, a flat in high rise in the provincial capital, a motorcycle for local trips, and an electric vehicle made by BYD for weekend trips into the provincial capital. Plus a pension and free healthcare. When you try to compare wealth in “per capita GDP” then China looks like it is behind. But when you look as PPP and quality of life, they are doing better than Americans. They have extremely low crime. Nearly zero illegal immigration. Their nation is culturally and ethnically homogeneous outside of Tibet and Uighur territory. The Chinese pay a very small fraction of what Americans pay for appliances, utilities, and cars. They can buy a BYD PHEV sedan for less than $20K USD

Many good observations in this thread, but please don't conclude for a nanosecond that Chinese citizens are better off that Americans. There is no data to support that conclusion, only opinion. Chinese people have fewer rights. They are controlled by the communist party. Yes, we have significant problems here and our leadership could be significantly better, but we are still significantly better off than the Chinese.

You are demented. You think you are better off than the Chinese because you can consume more media filth than they can? Have you ever been to China? They have 6000 years of history. There is nothing you can imagine that they haven’t already experienced. While America’s cities are full of zombies in a drug addicted stupor, the Chinese remember the Opium wars from 200 years ago. While your ancestors were inbreeding their own daughters in caves waiting for the Romans to civilize them, the Chinese had architecture, math, astronomy, government services, vast libraries, medicines, and seafaring empires.

It is very sad but America will simply be about 10 pages in China’s history books about a barbarous nation they were once encountered, that simply disappeared due to their own foolishness.

This isn’t pro-China or anti-America post. This is the reality we live in today because Nixon went to China with Kissinger.

Well I’ll be.

D.L. done called everything he doesn’t like “communism” again.

Black folks wanting equal treatment? Communism.
Women having rights? Communism.
Kids learning real history? Yep, communism.

That ain’t political analysis. That’s just fear dressed up in a Sunday column.

What they call “woke” is really just America trying, however imperfectly, to live up to its own promises.

And if equality feels like an attack, maybe the problem isn’t communism. Maybe some folks just got mighty comfortable being on top.

8:34 AM gives us an absolute INCORRECT “definition of a dictatorship,” but thinks we’re the ones that need to “study governments, economics” etc. HaHaHa

8:34, I won’t waste space copying and pasting the actual definition (you can look it up) but will clarify that a dictatorship IS NOT when you Leftist Democrat Purposeful Crime Party Repeats Anything Tools…..lose the House, lose the Senate, lose the White House and lose SCOTUS…..All Via Elections.

If you leftist r_____s could think and do research for yourselves, you might know about the significant cases where Donald Trump or his administration lost either fully or in major part at the U.S. Supreme Court (2025–present) including:

Trump v. V.O.S. Selections / Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump (Liberation Day” tariffs);

Trump v. Illinois (National Guard deployment case);

South Carolina v. Doe.

Yep, that’s a dictatorship alright.
You really cannot make this incredible level of r_________n up with these idiotic dictatorship comments.

The reason he's referring to it all as communism, is because he's indirectly explaining what it actually is: A race to the bottom....where all are truly poor and miserable - but hey! We're equal because if everyone can't have the same, then no one can have anything "so it's fair".

That J.P. Morgan was something else. He died in 1913, and W.W.1 didn't start until 1914, and he still got rich from both sides from the grave.

The last sorta-communist in power in China was Mao. Even Deng realized that communism wasn't workable and was persona non grata until Mao kicked the bucket. From Deng forward, China has been ruled by self-interested dictator types who are clearly not "communists." The CCP - in name only - has a gracious plenty on its hands at home. It certainly does not want to take "owning" US-based "situations" like the Jackson metro region or its inhabitants. Of course it would like influence, and as much as it can get, anywhere it can get it, but on a positive ROI basis. Just as the US does. But full title and ownership? Nope. As Trump could be and should be learning, General Powell was correct. You break it, you own it. Then there's caveat quaerens - even if you didn't break it be careful of what you seek lest you wind up owning already broken shit.

Well butter my biscuit.

According to these folks, letting everybody have a fair shot is basically one step away from standing in a bread line for government-issued turnip soup.

Never mind that public schools, Social Security, Medicare, and civil rights helped build the biggest middle class this country ever saw.

What really turns a place into a third-world flea market is when a handful of rich fellas buy up the whole county and tell everybody else to fight over the loose change in the couch cushions.

But sure, making things a little fairer is the real danger. Y’all go on and clutch those pearls and hide the canned goods.

Anonymous said...

Yeah man imagine being from a family without generational wealth that didn’t murder hundreds of people to steal their land 200+ years ago, and then import slaves to make them rich. Then imagine not being a gentrified confederate colonel or brigadier general who got to sit up on a hill far away from the battlefield and send waves of poor confederate infantry to their deaths to defend that stolen land and those slaves!

"Making things a little fairer is the real danger".... The Founding Father's never envisioned anyone having public education nor healthcare. If you can't afford it, blame you're parents for being so short-sighted and putting you in that position....not your neighbors and greater society. Damn! YOU"RE the selfish one.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
