God forbid there be a military conflict with China. Yet as tensions increase over Taiwan, spy balloons, and escalating rhetoric, the prospect of a skirmish or broader conflict with that massive nation is a daunting cloud over America. Traditionally, one would expect such a menace to unite Americans, yet today’s far left despises the Constitution and the nation, and indeed tradition itself. More, the left ignores the human rights abuses of nations such as China in its derisive slanders against America. Bent on destroying the nation from within, will the left simply roll out the red carpet for Red China if it attacks America?

After all, the grand utopian fantasies of the America-haters is firmly grounded in Marxism — a power grab to create some new yet undefined authoritarian nirvana. Deconstructionists destroy — even themselves. The gullible cluelessness of today’s postmodern truth-deniers extends to contempt for gender science, the family unit, heterosexual normativity, even math and economics. Ignorance of the universal failures of Marxism does not deter the would-be nihilists: those who wave rainbow flags professing love of liberty spout hatred for their neighbors and nation.
And so why would they not welcome China as liberators? As anarchy in the streets transforms more and more American neighborhoods into desolate Portlands, the plan appears to be to unleash chaos so that authoritarian domination can prevail. Those who elevate “personal identity” as the highest moral value are simultaneously statists who demand that an omnipotent federal government crush individual rights to free expression, faith, and assembly in order to impose the woke cult. This schizoid splintering of normalcy seeks to mutate America’s “thousand points of light” into thousands of rabid Antifa thugs.
In The War on the West, British author Douglas Murray observes the odd contempt of the West-haters, who seemingly ignore China’s treatment of Uyghurs. The far left defends extremist Islam while demonizing Judaism and Christianity. Murray writes:
[I]t is remarkable that the new religion believes not just that it owes nothing to its origins but that its origins are in fact part of the problem[.] … The West’s sources — the traditions of Athens and Jerusalem — are in fact the last place that the new devout would look to for guidance or consolation. (p.156)
In a chapter in the book titled “China,” Murray chronicles how that nation is expanding its colonizing dominance even as liberals in the West provide eager escort, and denounce past colonization by the West. Murray exposes this insanity:
Most people around the world want to think well of themselves and of the country they are born into. … All of this is a very unusual game to be playing. No societies outside the West are engaged in the same self-scourging enterprise. … Aside from the historical illiteracy of the anti-Westernism of our day, there is something else going on here. It is a gigantic moral presumption. That presumption is the idea that nobody in the world can do anything wrong unless the West has made them do it. A presumption that is quite understandably wrong. (pp. 65 et seq.)
Academic (Marxist) elites are rarely held accountable for praising Stalin, Hitler, or Mao. As Eric Hoffer noted, “[o]ne of the surprising privileges of intellectuals is that they are free to be scandalously asinine without harming their reputations.” Leftists condemn MAGA while lauding Mao — why would they fight to defend America?
In The Marxification of Education, James Lindsay equates the current social justice indoctrination in U.S. schools to Maoist brainwashing in China. The social justice methodology of conscientization, dubbed “the pedagogy of the oppressed,” parallels China’s path, and,
literally, is to hold up the models of Che Guevara and the Chinese Cultural Revolution — where the brainwashing occurred — as clear success stories[.] … Of course, aside from teaching children to destroy Chinese historical culture and shame and kill their parents, the method of education and re-education established by Mao Zedong to achieve this “success” is precisely the thought reform (brainwashing) process he employed to reorient people to the “people’s standpoint.” (pp. 107, 108)
