A Manifesto for the Counterrevolution

And now a way forward, by Christopher Rufo


"What system of government will guide us toward human happiness? These questions provoke doubt and anxiety in the current regime. And no wonder. The idea of happiness, properly understood, can be revolutionary.

The current regime has poured trillions into welfare programs, ideological production, family recomposition, and psychotherapeutic intervention, but Americans are more miserable than ever."

Communist Destruction Guides Modern Social Movements

"What Marx wanted was not a mere economic revolution; he wanted a revolution against human nature, to annihilate the entire order, to burn down the house, to undermine “all religion, all morality.” He called for the “forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.”

Now do you see Woke=Marxism?

Listen to the People, Part CDXXVIII


“All we wanted was to survive when I was in Vietnam, no one cared about race, religion or what you believed in as long as you stood up and did you duty.”


“I have dropped my voluntary retirement request for Oct 2024 because the military has gone woke! Every freakin week or month you have training about sexual assaults, equality, trans, inclusion. It has become so politicized. We don’t care what your skin color, just do your damn job-- cause if you can’t then I get stuck with it.”


“180 degrees from what my Army was in the 1980's and 90's. This is one the reasons my son is leaving the Army Officer Corps. No longer in the business of war fighting as he put it.”


“Over 20 years active duty and my bride a vet as well, discouraged ours kids from joining and would not recommend to anyone in its current state. Very sad times.”


“I was in the Army, both my son's are in the Army. What a conversation we have, on all that has changed for the worse.”


“I just retired after 21 years of service in the Army and I will not recommend anyone to join the Army. This is a great example of what DEI has done to ruin our military, especially the ARMY.”


“As a 15 year veteran so far, I can say that the critical race theory and woke progressiveness has long been present in the military and I can say it’s a very dangerous thing. I’m seeing people that don’t know their jobs being inserted into leadership positions based solely on race, gender, and sexual preference. It honestly sickens me and thank God I’m nearing retirement."


“I have two kids in the Army. They want out so bad now they are regretting re enlisting.”


“I served 30 years AC. I was Recruiter of the Year in the 90s at Company, Battalion, and Brigade level. I also convinced some kids at church later in my career. Both my sons enlisted. For the last 3 years I've gone 180. I've convinced about 12 young men not to join.”


“Our Pastor’s son got a basketball scholarship and went to West Point last year. He lasted one semester and had to get outta there. He said it was so woke that he didn’t trust anyone if we end up going to war somewhere. A complete s- show. So disillusioning.”


“My buddy is a recruiter. It’s not just that nobody wants to enlist, everybody wants out too.”


“The Marine Corps is the best thing that ever happened to me. It made me a better man while letting me serve a nation that I love, but today I would die before I let my kids join.”

STARRS 100-page document of 1,000 unsolicited comments, "What Military People Are Saying" was part of Lt Col Matthew Lohmeier's official statement submitted to Congress at the recent Capitol Hill hearing on the risks of progressive ideologies in the military.

E Pluribus Unum – Unity is America’s Strength

Wake Up, Stand Up, Speak Up and Never Give Up!

We are US military veterans and citizens concerned about the divisive racist and radical CRT/DEI ideology infiltrating the military and seek to stand up and do something about it in order to keep our country safe.

STARRS mission is to help educate our fellow Americans regarding the criticality of having a military that focuses solely on the essential readiness needed to fight and win our Nation’s wars. Winning requires a military which provides equal opportunity and a meritocracy leadership system which rewards high standards, ethical character, teamwork, and selfless service to our Nation. This mission accomplishment requires the elimination of DEI from the DoD by informing people about all ideologies, policies, agendas, and organizations that threaten a meritocracy based military.
