In a country where people are arrested for holding the Stars and Stripes

By Junius Tian

“All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

In today’s Western universities, this idea has long been deconstructed and criticized countless times by the Frankfurt School and Marxists. Western leftist scholars, who enjoy generous salaries and significant influence, can be found on university campuses sipping coffee and arguing to students about “why the ideals of freedom and equality are a systemic racial discrimination under the postcolonial cultural discourse hegemony.” Meanwhile, those brave and ordinary individuals outside the free world are being executed or imprisoned while pursuing the path of freedom and equality.

On the eve of the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre on June 3rd this year, during a concert at the National Stadium in Beijing, a Stars and Stripes were bravely Waving by a girl. At the same time, this girl scattered copies of the U.S. Declaration of Independence to the audience and called on the audience to action for freedom and democracy. The Chinese Communist Party’s jackal quickly responded and arrested the girl. Soon, everything returned to silence, leaving behind numb crowds and hushed whispers among onlookers.

A voiceless freedom-love girl disappeared into darkness without leaving a trace of her name. What she didn’t know is the flag she waved had been labeled the ‘flag of racists’ by Marxists in the West. As opposed to the pampered Western Marxists, she was indeed a small and powerless individual, just one of the oppressed who couldn’t control her own destiny under tyranny. The commie tyrant has armies, police, and numerous propaganda machines; The girl only has the flag with Stars and Stripes. But the girl dared to defy all the forces of the communist dictator through a flag and the idea behind that flag. She dared to act like a true citizen in a country filled with minions and lackeys. 

In China, Hong Kong, and other places influenced by communist tyrants, the Stars and Stripes flag is a special symbol. It represents the people’s most intense emotions of resistance against despotic rulers. But the world is indeed ironic: The Stars and Stripes can safeguard the freedom of those tyrant’s lackeys that burn and trample upon it in the land of free, while it can’t protect those freedom-love people who hold the Stars and Stripes courageous facing all the forces of tyrant under the tyranny; It can safeguard the freedom of those Marxist coward that play revolutionary simulation games in the home of brave, while it can’t protect those revolutionaries refreshed the tree of liberty with their blood. 

Marxists spread their lies across the free world without scruples. Their lies led many American citizens to start to really believe that the Stars and Stripes flag represents slavery and oppression. But the truth is, from centuries ago to now, those freedom-love people have rallied under this flag, defeating kings’ armies, abolishing slavery, and overcoming socialist despots. If the Stars and Stripes flag truly symbolized slavery and oppression, what then do those who fear it and hate it represent?

In textbooks authored by the Chinese Communist Party, both the American Revolutionary War and the Civil War, which abolished slavery, are described as wars that “cleared the way for capitalism.” Chinese communists attempted to engage in complex academic sophistry to imply that wars against monarchy and the liberation of slaves were unjust. Similarly, their Western Marxist comrade tries to go through the similar way to give evidence that the United States is a racist country.

If those who believe that all men are created equal are capitalists, if liberating slaves is clearing the way for capitalism, then let me proudly be the capitalist! If despots and their lackeys despise the Stars and Stripes flag so much, then we must raise that flag and a real revolution from sea to shining sea!
