Red Guards

What were the big character signs? They have no idea.

What did the red guards do? No idea.

What's the struggle session? They don't know anything about these things.

I recommend for your viewers Mao's America, A Survivor's Warning.

there are people, so Rob Henderson has this idea of luxury beliefs, right? And so you've got these people out here who don't really know what it's all about.

And so if you look at the universities today, students and faculty are still very afraid to say things, right? Open discourse is discouraged.

There are self-appointed Red Guards students at universities who will punish you for some speech violation, right? And so if you look at Trump's election in 2016, so I was in India, my second trip ever to India, for 27 days in early 2016.

The Indians were fascinated by Donald Trump.

And Mr. Xi had a very troubled youth.

And there's reason to believe that he was badly treated by the Red Guards or his position there.

He doesn't come out with a strong frame to begin with.

No, I mean, among my friends in China, my classmates from my education in China, who are about the same age as Mr. Xi, they suffered in their early teens from the famine.

They developed citizens' councils to try to combat them.

And the citizens' councils have businessmen, professionals, and they try to raise what they call civic guards as an answer to red guards, armed agents of the few like bourgeoisie um the social democrats the spd uh ultimately believed so this is ebert's position uh that the councils would have to rel relinquish power after elections since the councils are basically self-appointed right they don't have the legitimacy of the whole um a lack of an election under universal um franchise So one SPD member explained in their newspaper, Vorwartz, remember the name of Vorwartz, because there's a lot of stuff that happens with Vorwartz, that it's not, the slogan is not all power to the Soviets, like the Bolsheviks, it's all power to the whole people.

So they want to have an election.

And that's how they'll, you know, have a legitimate

We saw this with the episodes on the Russian Revolution.

It was like everything they were doing was to get a printing press, to like disassemble printing presses and assemble them and publish this literature and put out these pamphlets.

the police were trying to catch them and destroy their presses so um you know the head of they have unlimited resources to print these leaflets and so they're printing hundreds of thousands of leaflets against the bolsheviks calling luxembourg bloody rosa they sent set up a counter um intelligence service they set up uh armed anti-bolshevik squads and the revolutionaries want to set up red guards two there's a there's a left wing that wants to have armed um revolutionaries but the opposition inside the social democrats objected the soldiers councils felt like that was a bit of a slight on them like we're all loyal what's your problem um so they voted it down uh by november 4th 14th by november 14th so just a week after the revolution um and on november 16th the government declared that it was recruiting you know at least 10 000 people to security so that so the revolutionaries lost twice in a couple of days.

One, there's not going to be any Red Guards and two, there's going to be a new government police force.

I just received word yesterday 70-plus Colorado schools are poised to stage an anti-ICE walkout on September 4th.

If that is not some Communist Party Red Guard [beep], I don't know what is.

Our kids can't read or do math at a grade level.

They can't tell you what a woman is, but they can march against the very agency that is protecting our kids from trafficking and fentanyl, the agency responsible for making sure that what happened to my Carissa doesn't happen to them.

And what better way to do that than to empower the kids? Frustrated students who were unable to find decent, fulfilling jobs jumped at the chance to denounce their teachers, employers, and sometimes even their parents, and to tear down tradition, which often meant demolishing buildings and art.

The ranks of these Red Guards swelled, and anyone representing the so-called Four Olds – old culture, old habits, old ideas, and old customs – was subject to humiliation and violence.

Intellectuals were again sent to the countryside, as they were in 1942.

Millions were persecuted, and countless historical and religious artifacts were destroyed.

These, my friends, are today's current Red Guard.

Those who have been co-opted and their brains melted and melded into the communist revolution that seeks to engulf America and overthrow and kill the golden goose of productivity in the name of equity.

What's your name, sweetheart? You work for Indivisible? Who do you work for? Who do you work for? Who are you getting paid by? Who are you getting paid by?

Yeah.

typical response they don't have conversations they'd rather just yell

first of all i respect this guy he looks like he would be in antifa in all honesty when i see him but he's not he's actually there documenting the red guard taking over chanting mindlessly

this is hilarious

Baseball-sized rock right

... because that actually plays a huge role in this story.

[laughs] Schools were full of Red Guards, teenagers armed with a red armband and a book of Mao quotes.

Wearing clothes deemed too nice could get it torn off you in the street.

Having hair too long would get it shaved off.

Uh, one thing the Red Guards especially loved doing was the yin-yang haircut, where they just, like, buzzed one side of your head.

[laughs] This is fucking, like, we are, we emp- we empowered, like, the teens, you know?

Yeah, yeah [laughs] like-

They have a tarot-flavored cigarette just... [exhales]

His salary was cut to nothing.

In 1966, Red Guards searched his house.

They took everything he owned, including the typewriter that he loved the most, and shut him in a cow shed for six months.

But before all of that, they did something amazing.

I just received word yesterday, 70-plus Colorado schools are poised to stage an anti-ICE walkout on September 4th.

If that is not some Communist Party Red Guard, I don't know what is.

Our kids can't read or do math at a grade level.

They can't tell you what a woman is.
