Is America a political caste system?

Xi Van Fleet described America as a "political caste system," based on intersectionality. Having survived Mao's cultural revolution, and given an opportunity to study in America, Xi wrote "Mao's America: A Survivor's warning." The book was published in October 2024.

Xi wrote that she was confused when she arrived in America about her role and place in society.

"I found out rather quickly after arriving in America that I had been magically transformed from a descendant of the oppressor Black Class to a member of the oppressed group of a marginalized minority, the American version of the proletarians. To my dismay, I—still exactly the same person—found out recently that my oppressed status has been downgraded to 'white adjacent' by the same progressives that previously assigned me a victim status. What is the reason? Asians are too successful!"

In this page-turner, Xi describes America's lowest caste, followed by a description of the elite caste. These two castes explain a lot about how American Marxists have turned our nation upside down.

"Based on the intersectionality doctrine, a white person who is male, cisgender, able-bodied, conservative, middle class, Christian, working in law enforcement, and un-vaxxed has no intersectionality. Zero! That means that he belongs to the lowest political caste because he is viewed as the ultimate oppressor and will be the most targeted by the progressive Marxists."

Xi continued, "Conversely, the highest-ranking member of this new political caste would be someone who is trans, Black, disabled, poor… or a BLM activist, which by itself carries tremendous clout and inculpability. Just like in Mao's China, the most 'oppressed' now possesses the highest social superiority."

Please understand, progressive Marxists believe every society or culture is divided into multiple levels of oppressor classes and oppressed classes. Oppressors are always bad because they prevent the oppressed from advancing. Marxism reverses this order to free the oppressed from their oppressors. Thus, rich and powerful people are oppressors who control the wealth and power.

When Xi arrived in America from China, she was viewed as an oppressed person, and in China she had certainly been an oppressed person her whole life. As Xi advanced in her studies and career in America, progressive Marxists began to view her as an oppressor! Why? Because she was too successful!

Xi saw the parallel in America under CRT. Critical Race Theory is taught in schools across America. "CRT is tailor-made for America. It divides Americans crudely into two opposing groups: white and non-white. The historical racial category of 'Black' has been expanded to include all non-whites as shown in the new term BIPOC (Black, indigenous, and people of color). The categorization, unique to America, accomplishes two goals: to divide and to unite. It intends to separate out white Americans as one single entity, and to 'unite' all ethnic minorities and people of color to create solidarity against those who are white."

"When we apply the CRT lens, we see everything in terms of race. Renowned author Dr. Carol Swain refers to it as 'fundamentally a racist worldview.'" Dr. Swain and Xi are correct, sadly. It doesn't have to be that way. Unwittingly, we continue to teach our students this is how it is and can never be changed. Thankfully, friends of every race have risen above this academic stereotype. Thank God!
