The Cultural Revolution: A Harbinger of Today’s Critical Race Theory
The Cultural Revolution: A Destructive Agenda
The Chinese Cultural Revolution, initiated by Mao Zedong in 1966, aimed to regain control over the Communist Party and the nation. Millions of young students, known as the Red Guards, were mobilized to dismantle the existing order, resulting in the denouncement of counter-revolutionaries, including their own parents. This radical revolution sought to destroy the Four Olds: old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits, effectively eradicating Chinese civilization.
Parallels with Critical Race Theory
A Revolution Against Tradition
Similarly, CRT advocates seek to dismantle established institutions, including the nuclear family, and challenge the very foundations of American society, just as the Cultural Revolution targeted family, religion, and traditional values.
Identification and Labels
In the Cultural Revolution, people were labeled based on class, with bourgeois and proletarian distinctions. Today, CRT focuses on identity, labeling individuals based on race, gender, and intersectionality, perpetuating division and animosity.
Betrayal and Snitch Culture

Destruction of History and Culture

Indoctrination of Youth
Both the Cultural Revolution and CRT exploit the power of youth indoctrination. In Mao’s China, the Red Guards were instruments of indoctrination, while CRT influenced education and curriculum in American schools, targeting impressionable minds.
Revolution versus Preservation

The Power of Ideological Tools: ESG, Title IX, and Affirmative Action
