Statement by former Chinese Communist revolutionist Chen Jun, effectively encapsulated the Leninists' aspirations and strategic vision for the future “If we want the communist regime to be passed on from generation to generation,we must not let the lower classes live in affluence. We must toss them around withvarious political campaigns and deprive them of their rights with various policies.Then, we give some rights back, like squeezing toothpaste, so that the lower classes will be grateful to us. When running around and competing for basic survival, they won’t have time to care about ideals, democracy, or freedom.Then, people will turn to us and ask us to maintain social order like we are the saviour with a moral high ground. Only in this way can we pass the kingdom to our next generation worry-free” An immigrant’s perspective on American freedom in crisis.
