American Maoism

In this lecture from Dr. James Lindsay, the parallels between our experience today and the tools utilized in China under Mao will be made so clear that the unavoidable conclusion will be that we are living through nothing less than American Maoism.

Responses to article about USAFA cadet at West Point DEI conference:


"That is why I stopped my annual alumnus contribution to USAFA. I figured that when I attended, there was barely enough time to learn the basic skills needed to be a good military leader. What have they dropped to make room for these divisive lessons?"


"Ditto my USNA…"


"I walked past George Patton's statue in front of the library at West Point the other day and I swear I saw tears forming in his eyes. I don't expect the academies will ever again produce a great military leader and I guess that's exactly what the Left wants."


"Curriculum on DEI doesn't belong anywhere but especially not at our Military Academies."


"It wasn't long ago a graduating cadet at West Point had a Che' shirt on under his uniform. He is the one who showed it but there are many more like that that have infiltrated the service academies. Communism is alive and well."


"The fall of our military. No wonder recruiting is all time low."


"The military academy, funded by the US taxpayers, provides our country with the future leaders of our military. If we continue the debasing, and left-wing radicalization of the academies, we will all be speaking Chinese in 20 years."

OUR MISSION:

STARRS is a group of retired military members and patriots dedicated to ensure the greatest fighting force on the globe remains the U.S. military. 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.
