Our current political climate features the type of class-based anger and redistributionist ideology that prevailed in China during the "Land Reform."
It starts in elementary, then secondary, then higher education as students are taught ideology and theory instead of basic economics and life skills.
American teachers unions and manipulative politicians are the fundamental cause of systemic racism and class-based antagonism.

Valuable historic footage of the CCP’s Land Reform (1949-1953).
This is how it was done:
Send out a “work team” to villages to “help” the peasants to understand that exploitation of the rich was the root of their poverty and suffering. (DEI training?)
Mobilize the poor
Coach them on how to “tell their bitterness” (诉苦 or lived experience) against the landlords
Hold “ struggle sessions” to denounce the landlords as the “enemy of the people”. Note there were a lot of women activists.
Let the people decide the punishment. In the video the people spoke: execution!
Confiscate the land from the landlords and give it to the poor
Happy ending for the poor?
Not so fast. In 1958 all the land was taken back by the state through collectivization. Between 1959-1962, up to 50 million perished during the Great Famine.
This is a story of Communist dream turned into hellish nightmare. And history rhymes, doesn’t it?
