America’s most effective conservative intellectual proves once and for all that Marxist radicals have taken over our nation's institutions.

In the 1960s, Mao launched China’s Cultural Revolution. Cities grew overcrowded. Technocrats demanded progress from above. Anyone opposed was sent to be “re-educated.” China’s revolution was bloody, fast, and a failure, but what if America started a revolution at the same time, based on the same bad ideas, and it’s just been slower, calmer, and more effective?

In his powerful new book, Christopher F. Rufo uncovers the hidden history of left-wing intellectuals and activists who systematically took control of America’s institutions to undermine them from within. America’s Cultural Revolution finally answers so many of the questions normal Americans have, such as:

• Why is nearly every major corporation bending the knee to a far-left agenda?

• How did DEI suddenly become the department no institution can continue without?

• Why is race the main thing America’s rich, white elite wants to talk about?

• When did the left adopt all this doublespeak, saying progress is a lack of progress, equality is not equality, speech is violence, and violence is speech?

• Has the goal of the left, for a century, actually been the destruction of every Western institution?

Readers may not know the names of Herbert Marcuse, Angela Davis, Paulo Freire, and Derrick Bell, but they will recognize the ideas they spread. How their radical, destructive ideology slowly worked its way from prisons to academia to classrooms to your human resources department will come as a shock.

Failing to act soon, Rufo warns, could allow the radical left to achieve their ultimate objective: replacing constitutional equality with a race-based redistribution system overseen by bureaucratic ‘diversity and inclusion’ officials. Most Americans don’t want this, but most Americans are no longer in control of our institutions. If the mainstream media’s depiction of a failing dystopia in need of a fresh start never sounded right to you, this expose and call to arms is the book you’ve been looking for.

must read if you want to fight the left

there is a tendency on the right to intuitively know what is wrong, and attempt to go to battle without being properly informed of the historical happenings in heroes that got us here. I'm guilty of it, and I suspect that you are as well. truly enjoyed this substantive and in-depth look into the grave of leftism.

The ending definitely leaves me hopeful. however, we can simply look at China and see that their cultural revolution did not necessarily fail, rather it birthed into a communist capitalist hybrid. The critical theories modeled the class revolution that occurred there and I fear that the West will simply be satiated by a parasitic, vampireish drawdown of capitalist success.

Stunning

This book is more than history. It is the examination of nihilism, and its bitter consequences. While we are still deep in the battle, I believe there's hope our society can break through the underbrush of lies and fight with deeper practical wisdom.

Must Read

An extremely engaging and illuminating journey through the evolution of Marxism into CRT and the impact it is having on everyone it touches. Can’t recommend it highly enough

A new frame to see the world

The best books change the frame through which you see the world. This is one of those books.

Worth reading

great explanation of horrible ideology and the people who started and perpetuate it. 2 thumbs up

A staple of our time

This book will surely become authoritative in the future. Though Chris Rufo can be off putting, he does great academic work here

Important words at a Critical Crossroads

Well-researched, well-articulated, thoughtful analysis of the moments and influential personalities that hijacked the consciousness of many individuals and institutions in today’s American society. The book brings awareness to the fundamental ideologies, methods, and aims of the misguided cultural revolutionaries coming off the Marxist factory lines of the Universities. It highlights the nihilistic revolution’s critical flaws and makes suggestions on how Americans can meaningfully counter the movement.

An absolute must read!

This book is a must-read to understand how we got here in our culture today! It doesn't matter what side the political aisle you're on. It will open your eyes to our education system, government, and history. Bravo Christopher Rufo!

Excellent

Describes how and why we find our selves as Americans at this critical point of decision to save our country or turn away in fear and hoping to find our selves waking from a bad dream. Only to realize later it’s to late.
God forbid!

A must read

This is a must read for anyone wanting to learn about the rise of Neo Marxism in America.
