Publisher's summary

An inspiring survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution in China makes a passionate case that history is eerily repeating itself as the Woke Revolution spreads across America.

Xi Van Fleet lived through the horrors of the Chinese Cultural Revolution as a schoolgirl. Forced to the countryside with other young Chinese for re-education after high school, she later escaped communism and found freedom and new a life in America. But more than 30 years later, Xi disturbingly sees signs of the same Cultural Marxism that ravaged her birth country of China threatening to destroy the America she now calls home.

​This is her dire warning to the United States.

Xi compellingly tells the story of two Cultural Revolutions: one driven by Mao and the Chinese Communist Party during her childhood and the one unfolding in today’s America from the progressive left. With captivating personal stories and extensive historic research, Xi reveals the stunning similarities of these two revolutions. This fascinating book shows listeners that both revolutions:

  • Use Marxist tactics of division, indoctrination, deception, coercion, cancelation, subversion and violence.
  • Aim to destroy the foundation of the traditional culture to replace it with Marxist ideologies.
  • Weaponize youth, using them as their means to an end.
  • Share the same goal of achieving absolute power at the expense of the people.
  • Lead to the same ending: loss of freedom and totalitarian rule.

Listeners will be captivated by the riveting personal story of a Chinese immigrant to the United States who overcame fear and reluctance to get involved in the movement to save America. Her political activism begins with a school board speech in 2021 against Critical Race Theory in Loudoun County, Virginia that unexpectedly goes viral and ignites national media attention. Xi now devotes her life to educating the American public on the shocking parallels between these two revolutions.

Because only when Americans understand what is really happening will they rise up and resist the communist takeover of America.

Critic reviews

"Xi Van Fleet’s book, Mao's America, is an essential read for American parents seeking to comprehend the infiltration of Marxism in public school classrooms. It sheds light on the formation of a 'Red Guard' within America and highlights the alarming parallels between Mao's assault on traditional Chinese culture and the challenges faced by American parents. By reading Xi’s story, we can better identify warning signs and confront oppressive ideologies to fight the rise of Communism in America." (Tiffany Justice, Co-founder, Moms for Liberty)

"No one is doing more than Xi Van Fleet to sound the alarm on how history is repeating itself in today’s America. As a survivor of Mao's Cultural Revolution, Xi explains the dangerous parallels between her experiences and the Marxist Woke ideology sweeping across America. Xi’s inspiring story should be required reading for anyone trying to make sense of the un-American things that are so rapidly transforming our country. Information is power. Understanding the philosophical roots of the cultural revolution we are living through is the first step in the fight to restore freedom and save America." (Rachel Campos-Duffy, Fox News)

MUST LISTEN NOW

Do not wait to read or listen to this extremely important book. Having lived outside of the US twice I had a fresh perspective when moving back. Xi’s perpective on the US is jaw dropping. We must save our Republic.

Progressives = Communists (A MUST Read)

Narrated with world-class professionalism, this is an audiobook that all US citizens MUST listen to.

The Communists (aka, United States Progressives, aka United States Democrat Socialists) are not taking over the US, they have already done so. Now it is time to push back and remove their poison.

The only reason that the US has not fully collapsed is due in great part to the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution. The founders of the US were visionaries who knew that some people are corrupt and would use power for self gain and the destruction of others. The 2nd Amendment stands in the way of those corrupt people.

As the author explains, the Chinese were not so lucky. Millions of people were killed. Children turned their parents into the Red Guard, which, in turn, imprisoned or killed the parents. School students beat and killed their teachers, which was encouraged by the Chinese Communist Party. Don’t think it can’t happen here? The Chinese didn’t think it could happen in China.

I highly endorse the audiobook!!!

I wish everyone in America would read this book.

Xi's Tails of growing up during the cultural revolution in China blew my mind and the glaring similarity between then and what is happening here now chilled me to the bone.

America’s Last Stand

Read the parallels here in America and China’s cultural revolution by Mao in the 60’s. 20,000,000 died in China. Don’t let it happen here.

Mao’s America

The foremost book explaining America today and how and why we are here. If you believe as I do that the American way of life is in jeopardy, listen to this book. This is the best explanation I have found.
