Survivor of Mao's China tells Tucker Carlson the US is heading toward communism after rearing generations of 'Marxists' now running schools and colleges: 'It must be stopped!'

Author and survivor of Mao's Cultural Revolution Xi Van Fleet told Tucker Carlson that US institutions have been seized by Marxists and are pushing the US toward communism.

In a long-form interview with the former Fox News host, Van Fleet described the 'full blown communist revolution' currently unfolding in America that 'must be stopped' if the country is to survive.

Van Fleet has lived in the US since 1986, but was born and raised in China during the Cultural Revolution.

At the age of 16, she was sent to labor in the Chinese countryside. After Mao's death, she was able to attend college, where she studied English.

She has devoted the last several years to making the public case against what she sees as a wave of communist ideology taking hold of America.

Xi Van Fleet's book, 'Mao's America: A Survivor's Warning,' is a cautionary text that emphasizes the ways in which modern America is falling into patterns she first observed in communist China

In her new book, 'Mao's America: A Survivor's Warning,' she draws numerous comparisons between what she saw as a child and young adult in Mao's China, and what she sees today in the US.

During her interview with Carlson, Van Fleet described one such instance of the dangerous ideology she is worried has spread across America.

Explaining the progressive usage of the words oppressor and oppressed, Van Fleet said that a communist worldview would have an individual believe that anything the oppressed party does to the oppressor 'is justified.'

'That includes murder, kidnap(ping), raping - it's all justified just like the Cultural Revolution,' she said. 'That's what's happening in today's America.'

Specifically, Van Fleet points to the indoctrination she sees taking place at educational institutions in the US - both those of higher education, and K-12 programs.

Professors, curriculums, and in turn students, are embracing Marxist ideology, the broader societal implication of which is a 'celebration of violence,' like the myriad riots that have broken out across the country in the period following the death of George Floyd and beyond.

Furthermore, the political discord and chaos on college campuses, she said, mirror what she saw in China years ago.

Therefore, the single most critical step toward defeating communist ideology in America, is regaining control of schools and universities.

Van Fleet in no uncertain terms declares that Americans who care about saving 'this country for your children and your children's children' must stand up against the communist ideology that is now driving everything from the Critical Race Theory taught in elementary school classrooms, to the DEI hiring practices of major US corporations.

Carlson asked Van Fleet a series of wide-ranging questions during the 45-minute conversation, including the motivation behind the spread of communist ideology

Power, she told Carlson, is the singular goal of those harnessing communist ideology to sew chaos far and wide - and the better that is understood, the more effective the resistance effort can be

'You can't fight something you don't understand,' said Van Fleet, underscoring the significance of her new book and not underestimating the power of the Marxist agenda.

Otherwise, she cautioned, the indoctrinated masses will 'destroy the country so some people can have total control of power.'

Importantly, Van Fleet said that it is understandably difficult to understand or imagine why Marxist communism is being spread across the country, and who is ultimately responsible for it.

Power, she told Carlson, is the singular goal of those harnessing communist ideology to sew chaos far and wide. 

The powerful interview came just days after Carlson's controversial interview with Russian president Vladimir Putin and the death of Kremlin dissident Alexei Navalny last week.

During his interview with Putin, Carlson heaped praise on Russia, calling Moscow 'so much nicer than any city in my country.' He also challenged the foreign leader with questions about the ongoing war against Ukraine and the continued imprisonment of WSJ journalist Evan Gershkovich.

In the wake of Navalny's death, which many believe was a job carried out by Kremlin, Carlson was the recipient of intensified criticism for his semi-sympathetic interview.

When news of Navalny's death broke, however, Carlson told DailyMail.com: 'It's horrifying what happened to Navalny. The whole thing is barbaric and awful. No decent person would defend it.'t's horrifying what happened to Navalny. The whole thing is barbaric and awful. No decent person would defend it.'
