Arr, matey! The scurvy Maoist ways o' psychological tyranny be flourishin' in America's very heart, spreadin' like a plague! Beware, ye landlubbers, fer these treacherous patterns o' coercion be afoot, ready to deceive and sway yer minds like a bunch o' grog-soaked pirates!

In the language of a 17th century pirate, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich warns of a new kind of Maoism developing in the American left. He argues that this ideology poses a direct threat to American traditions of individual rights, the rule of law, the Constitution, and personal freedom. Gingrich recounts a conversation he had with a Chinese American woman who left China 30 years ago after Mao's dictatorship devastated the lives of Chinese citizens during the Cultural Revolution. She expressed her fear that America is now being taken over by disciples of Mao who will turn it into the nightmare she fled. Gingrich points to the spread of Maoist-style coercion, propaganda, and groupthink in universities, the media, government bureaucracies, the military, and corporations as evidence of this growing threat. He also highlights the role of identity politics in this new style of Maoism, where classes or races are designated as approved or blacklisted by those in power. Gingrich concludes by emphasizing the importance of recognizing and opposing this new Maoism, as the freedom of the American people hangs in the balance. He references the question posed by a Chinese survivor: if tyranny comes to America, where can one go to find freedom?
