China's Second Wave Interview: dialog with Trevor Loudon, segment 2
In the recent political landscape of America, concerns about Maoist groups and communist insurrection have been on the rise.
Since the 1960s, there has been a period of unprecedented racial tolerance in America. However, some claim that this tolerance has been exploited by certain groups to fuel racial unrest. One such individual is Trevor Loudon, who believes that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is supporting this communist insurrection in America. Loudon suggests that COVID-19 can be seen as the first round of the "People's War" waged by China.
Loudon is particularly concerned about the activities of Maoist groups in America. He claims that the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, with a central figure like Frank Chapman who has a history of violent crimes and is now a radical activist, is openly pro-Chinese and supports various communist groups, including FARC and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
However, it is important to note that while these Maoist groups advocate for violent revolutionary overthrow of capitalism using Maoist doctrine, they operate independently of the CCP. The Chinese Communist Party itself remains focused on maintaining political control within China and shaping global influence through state and diplomatic means, rather than through underground Maoist groups abroad.
The Red Guards, a decentralized Maoist-Gonzaloist collection active roughly from 2015 to 2018, pursued violent anti-reformist actions against other socialist groups locally. Their ambition was a Mao-style protracted people's war in the U.S., but the group is currently inactive.
The Revolutionary Communist Party, USA, led by Bob Avakian, originated from Maoism and now follows Avakian's "New Communism," which updates traditional Marxism–Leninism–Maoism into a "scientific" revolutionary theory. They reject electoral politics and reform, aiming for a worldwide communist revolution to dismantle capitalism and American imperialism, not simply socialism within the U.S.
Smaller groups like the Maoist Communist Union Charlotte continue revolutionary cultural work such as film discussions and grassroots organizing, reflecting ongoing Maoist activity on a local scale.
Loudon claims that these Maoist groups are registering voters in several states and are heavily tied into the Democratic Party. He predicts that states like Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, and Georgia are in danger of going blue in the next election due to the communists' electoral strategy.
However, there is no credible evidence of these Maoist groups currently controlling or practically influencing state governments or major political unrest at a revolutionary scale. Their influence in broader political unrest appears limited and mostly confined to small, ideologically driven groups rather than widespread revolutionary movements.
The left's rhetoric holds that anyone who disagrees with them is racist, and racists cannot be allowed any freedom of speech. This has led to a fear of "whiteness" being promoted, despite the overwhelming majority of whites being philosophically opposed to racism.
Loudon gives Trump a 35% chance of winning the election due to the left's mobilization of minorities and youth. He also mentions "The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the U.S. Congress" as a relevant book.
Loudon predicts potential terrorist attacks and targeted assassinations in America. He suggests that if Biden wins the November election, there could be increased targeting of conservatives. He also believes that these Maoist groups run Durham, North Carolina and are part of a larger strategy to destroy the Republican Party's base of support in the South.
The article discusses concerns about communist insurrection being linked to racial unrest in America. Marxists continually remind non-whites of the legacy of slavery and the history of colonialism, claiming that white supremacy is intrinsic to the capitalist system. This narrative has fueled racial tensions and contributed to the unrest seen in recent years.
In conclusion, while Maoist communist factions in the U.S. advocate for violent revolutionary overthrow of capitalism using Maoist doctrine, they operate independently of the CCP and have no proven strategy or capability of currently taking control of U.S. states. Their influence in broader political unrest appears limited and mostly confined to small, ideologically driven groups rather than widespread revolutionary movements.
