DAILY BRIEF: Dragon's Claw: Mao's Road to Rule — and How He Tightened It Around China's Throat & What it Means For You

The story of Mao Zedong's rise to power isn't just ancient Chinese history - it's a warning for us today. From humble beginnings in rural Hunan province, Mao rejected traditional values, embraced revolutionary Marxism, and ultimately unleashed hell on earth for the Chinese people. His path to power reveals the blueprint tyrants follow, something we're witnessing in America right now.

After the Communist victory in 1949, Mao consolidated control through the Great Leap Forward, a catastrophic attempt at rapid industrialization that killed an estimated 45 million Chinese through famine and political purges. When fellow party members questioned his leadership after this disaster, Mao launched the Cultural Revolution, weaponizing youth as Red Guards to destroy traditional culture and attack anyone deemed insufficiently loyal.

Sound familiar? Today's radical leftists follow the same playbook - rejecting traditional American values, attempting to rewrite history, creating struggle sessions in universities, and mobilizing the young against their parents' generation. The parallels between Mao's reign of terror and modern America are undeniable.
