Xi Fan Fleet, Cultural Revolution Survivor
Show Notes Chapter Markers

In this conversation, our special guest Xi Van Fleet shares her experience surviving the Cultural Revolution in China. Xi describes the Communist tactics for seizing power by way of the “3D’s”: division, deconstruction, and destruction. First Chinese dictator Mao Zedong divided the people by class, then he deconstructed past cultural ideas and traditions, and then he destroyed Chinese historical landmarks, traditional ideals, and cultural symbols from any period prior to his regime. Xi describes the indoctrination she received while she was in school, learning to love Mao as a father and to never criticize those in power. Xi is now an American citizen who is warning fellow Americans about the dangers of Marxist tactics currently at work in American society. 

Xi Van Fleet is an American Mom who gained notoriety when she spoke at a Loudon County, Virginia school board comparing the tactics of recent imposed education movements to her experiences growing up during the Cultural Revolution in Mao’s China. She was a first grader in 1966 when Mao started the Cultural Revolution in China and was 17 working in a field when the Cultural Revolution ended at Mao’s death. Xi received her education from peasants and remembers wearing badges on her school uniform with Mao’s picture.
