Xi Van Fleet described America as a “political caste system,” based on intersectionality. Having survived Mao’s cultural revolution, and given an opportunity to study in America, Xi wrote “Mao’s America: A Survivor’s warning.” The book was published in October 2024.
Xi wrote that she was confused when she arrived in America about her role and place in society.“I found out rather quickly after arriving in America that I had been magically transformed from a descendant of the oppressor Black Class to a member of the oppressed group of a marginalized minority, the American version of the proletarians. To my dismay, I—still exactly the same person—found out recently that my oppressed status has been downgraded to “white adjacent” by the same progressives that previously assigned me a victim status. What is the reason? Asians are too successful!”
In this page-turner, Xi describes America’s lowest caste, followed by a description of the elite caste. These two castes explain a lot about how American Marxists have turned our nation upside down.
“Based on the intersectionality doctrine, a white person who is male, cisgender, able-bodied, conservative, middle class, Christian, working in law enforcement, and un-vaxxed has no intersectionality. Zero! That means that he belongs to the lowest political caste because he is viewed as the ultimate oppressor and will be the most targeted by the progressive Marxists.”
Xi continued, “Conversely, the highest-ranking member of this new political caste would be someone who is trans, Black, disabled, poor… or a BLM activist, which by itself carries tremendous clout and inculpability. Just like in Mao’s China, the most ‘oppressed’ now possesses the highest social superiority.”
Please understand, progressive Marxists believe every society or culture is divided into multiple levels of oppressor classes and oppressed classes. Oppressors are always bad because they prevent the oppressed from advancing. Marxism reverses this order to free the oppressed from their oppressors. Thus, rich and powerful people are oppressors who control the wealth and power.
When Xi arrived in America from China, she was viewed as an oppressed person, and in China she had certainly been an oppressed person her whole life. As Xi advanced in her studies and career in America, progressive Marxists began to view her as an oppressor! Why? Because she was too successful!
Xi saw the parallel in America under CRT. Critical Race Theory is taught in schools across America. “CRT is tailor-made for America. It divides Americans crudely into two opposing groups: white and non-white. The historical racial category of “Black” has been expanded to include all non-whites as shown in the new term BIPOC (Black, indigenous, and people of color). The categorization, unique to America, accomplishes two goals: to divide and to unite. It intends to separate out white Americans as one single entity, and to ‘unite’ all ethnic minorities and people of color to create solidarity against those who are white.”
“When we apply the CRT lens, we see everything in terms of race. Renowned author Dr. Carol Swain refers to it as ‘fundamentally a racist worldview.’” Dr. Swain and Xi are correct, sadly. It doesn’t have to be that way. Unwittingly, we continue to teach our students this is how it is and can never be changed. Thankfully, friends of every race have risen above this academic stereotype. Thank God!

While awaiting the comments, I''m not only buying, but reading, the book. The progressives definitely need to up their pr to counter this.
Sounds like Xi Van Fleet is trying to get in on that Michelle Malkin grift.
Rightoids just love it when a POC sees them as an easy mark and tarkets their pocketbooks by selling them some genuine racist confirmation bias!
We are debt slaves since 1913. The final coup/takeover was when JFK was murdered. We have been a deeply socialist system for decades, and the communism is coming - i.e., New York City
Plan accordingly - we corruptedly voted ourselves nationwide into Socialism, and now we will have to shoot our way out of Communism. Trump was the firewall to all of this - as elected by Americans - but he's been compromised, and is now part of the full takeover of America. If you don't see it, you're either blind or brain-dead.
I don't read anything that uses the word "intersectionality".
@1:15 You are right about a lot of things. But Trump wasn’t a firewall. He was compromised before he ever ran for office.
Here’s the hard truth. Trump is a reflection of us as a nation.

Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool
drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul— all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man.
Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but has always been— arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before
money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul— it sh*ts out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.
You talking about Trump or Bill Clinton?
Trump
1:32 I can agree with most of the description of Trump as written but I do not think he is a "reflection" of America. Most of us are not like him although we tolerate him. He is a product of America's political disintegration and may be all the warning we will get before we implode. He is not a reflection but a vision of the abyss. We face challenging times and we must find a way to select better leadership.
DL sure does seem to identify as a victim, I wonder why that’s the case with every single conservative.
@4:19 then you really need to educate yourself. This nation has been rotten for over a century. To justify the Spanish-American war, we blew up our own ship. To justify entry into WWI and to save J.P. Morgan from bankruptcy, we sacrificed the Lusitania. Skip the next one and I will stop at the Gulf of Tonkin affair otherwise this comment won’t get approved.
April 11, 2026 at 1:32 PM, that description fits Biden, and Obama, perfectly.
Because they are finally noticing, and waking up - and to their own dismay they realized the haven't really been involved in the political process for 80 years due to their "live and let live" attitudes, and failed to protect the Republic. Now it is occupied, and the conservatives have realized they crossed the Rubicon, and it's too late. Now, if anyone illuminates these facts too loudly, or too clearly - they are publically killed, or privately disappeared.
Here's your Sunday wagon-load of bullshit:
"Intersectionality is a framework for understanding how social identities—such as race, gender, class, and sexuality—overlap to create unique, cumulative experiences of discrimination or privilege. Coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989, it highlights that individuals, particularly marginalized groups, face interconnected systems of oppression rather than isolated challenges."
Enter the term 'hate crime'. When an African American (another made up term), female, amputee of the Jewish faith is singled out and beaten by a group of white men, that victim is a sure bet for intersectionality in the courtroom.
She is suddenly a victim of racial, sex, religion and handicap status hatred by the white race.
"Now, if anyone illuminates these facts too loudly, or too clearly - they are publically killed, or privately disappeared"
I would like you to list some of the victims, with proof, please.
@10:58 AM
Goody luck with that! History is revised and recorded by the people who kill the truth tellers.
April 12, 2026 at 1:20 PM, if there's no record of it how do you know it happened?
Trump is not a drinker, much less a barstool drunk. The liberal pissant who posted that is in serious need of a pine-tar enema. Forthwith, ASAP and Immediately!
D.L. Gardner is trying to dress up a grievance as a grand theory, but if you peel back the rhetoric, it’s the same old story: discomfort being mistaken for oppression.
Let’s start with the “political caste system” claim. That idea only works if you pretend history hit “reset” sometime around 2005 and everyone started from the same starting line. It didn’t. Systems don’t evaporate just because acknowledging them makes people uncomfortable. What D.L. calls a “caste system” is really just people finally naming patterns that have been baked into American life for generations.
And this obsession with intersectionality? It’s not a ranking system or a scoreboard. Nobody’s handing out gold medals for suffering. It’s a lens, not a leaderboard. It simply asks: how do different aspects of identity overlap to shape someone’s experience? That’s analysis, not Marxist sorcery.
The real sleight of hand here is flipping the definition of “oppression” into “criticism.”
Being challenged, questioned, or even criticized for your views is not oppression. That’s just living in a society where other people also have voices.
Then there’s the claim that success somehow turns minorities into “oppressors.” That’s a dramatic leap worthy of a soap opera plot twist. What’s actually happening is much less theatrical: conversations about equity evolve.
Communities aren’t monoliths. The idea that one group’s success cancels out systemic issues is like saying one sunny day disproves the existence of winter.
And the CRT panic? That’s the favorite ghost story right now. Critical Race Theory is largely a legal framework taught in graduate-level courses, not something lurking in elementary school lesson plans like a boogeyman with a chalkboard.
Expanding “I don’t like this conversation” into “this is indoctrination” is a convenient way to avoid engaging with the substance.
The most telling part of D.L.’s argument is the inversion: the historically dominant group is recast as the “lowest caste.” That’s not analysis, that’s anxiety dressed up as theory. It confuses losing unquestioned dominance with being oppressed. Those are not the same thing.
And let’s be honest about the tone running underneath all of this. When discussions about race, inequality, or history are framed as attacks on one group rather than attempts to understand society more fully, it stops being about truth and starts being about protecting a narrative.
If anything is being “turned upside down,” it’s the expectation that one perspective should go unchallenged.
7:49 is a walking commercial for bringing back involuntary committal. We need go no further than his theory that "conversations about equity evolve", not to mention his denial of the dangers of CRT.
If he's not already a higher-education associate professor, he's applying for the position.
here is your new caste system. A robot patrol dog piloted by a friendly cheeful Filipina (who speaks better english than the “natives”) in some hood apartments in Atlanta. Coming to Jackson any day now!
I'm beginning to think males have a problem blaming others rather than looking in the mirror and assume money makes their unattractive qualities invisible to those (male and female) they seek to impress. Some think bullying is good and bizarrely believe fear and loyalty are the same. Money doesn't buy loyalty, admiration, love, charm or compassion for others! You can find women and these days, men as well, who bought "beauty" via plastic surgery, but their spouses are surprised that the kids are homely! Some use their looks to buy financial security but as the Beatles sang, you can't buy love or real happiness. You can't buy good judgement, respect, integrity, honor or loyalty. That's learned, earned or gifted. You can't buy a high IQ but if you are too lazy to read, study, learn and observe or you are too emotionally damaged to be objective, your IQ is worthless. Hate and envy and anger and arrogance darkly color all the outcomes
I don't know why we elect "poor, little, rich boys" or" rich, little, whiny" boys or insecure women filled with silicon or sucked, tucked and lifted to fill good about themselves. It's how shallow we've become. Benjamin Franklin and John Adams weren't " hunks" and earned what they had and used their gifts and a white cone hat and sheet and fancy firearm or car doesn't hide ugly or rotten!
@ 8:29
So we’ve gone from debating ideas to diagnosing people now? Appreciate you confirming there wasn’t much of an argument to begin with.
‘Conversations about equity evolve’ isn’t radical, it’s reality. The only thing frozen here is the talking point about CRT being some kind of lurking threat.
At some point, it stops being concern and starts being performance.
If you are treated badly based on the color of your skin or your gender or your religion or how much money is in your wallet, rather than your behavior, that's prejudicial and oppressive. It's also stupidity on the part of the oppressor as it's a bad long-term strategy. Our Founders and most of our Presidents ( some of whom were rather homely) knew that.
What if tou are fat, ugly, and stink?
my 40+ years of experince has taught me that attractive and nice people of all races are treated better than ugly and mean people of any race. And if you smell bad, including bathing in perfume, then you are also offputting.
There are just human limits of how much fat ugly stink that people can tolerate.
It’s one of the truths that trans loons cant accept. Nobody cares about your gender dysphoria mental illness if you are convincingly pretty. But im not going to play along with the mental illness of shrek in a wig!
