Today’s left would make Mao proud

OPINION:

The Democratic Party — which advocates the tenets of Mao and Stalin — has effectively become America’s Communist Party.

Aided by the mainstream media, Maoism is on the march throughout the U.S. Most people are unaware of it. 

Mao’s approach was to reach the children. Separate them from their parents. Alienate them from parental control. Make them subservient to the state.

The state then becomes the parent, controlling juveniles to adulthood, insinuating its values into the minds of the children.

The state is the deity to be worshipped and honored. Such was the Marxist doctrine, too. 

Since the federal government is saturated with leftists, Marxist-Maoist types have been allowed to flourish in public education, everywhere from universities and high schools all the way down to elementary schools.

They’re also entrenched in national law enforcement, intelligence and energy agencies, Congress, the federal courts, and the administrative state and its bureaucracy.

Will our weak leadership attempt to mitigate or at least contain the effects of this ruinous revolutionary movement? The answer, of course, is a resounding no.
