Yep. And don't forget Marxist Mao.

I'm reading "Mao's America: A Survivor's Warning" which is a new book from a Chinese lady that lived through the Chinese cultural marxist takeover in the 1960's.

She is showing how what happened in China with the Chinese Red Guard, and Chinese cancel culture, is almost identical to what is happening today in America with Antifa/BLM riots and LGBT, DEI, CRT cancel culture.

You might get in the boxcar but not me.
