In struggle sessions, white people are told that their moral values cause suffering, and are made to feel shame in an effort to get them to repudiate those values. In today’s era of Brown Communism, the enemy is white people. The most obvious way is by humiliating the enemies of the Communist Party. These seminars achieve precisely the same goals of the Maoist struggle sessions. The enemy is any wrongthinker, even (or especially) working-class ones. Because they don’t care about the poor, their enemies are no longer the rich people in the landlord class. Today’s leftists don’t give two shits about poor people anymore – they just want to persecute people they hate. In Clown World, struggle sessions are repackaged as “anti-racism seminars”. Since that desire still exists in Clown World, struggle sessions have made a comeback. The desire to purge people of wrongthink prompted the Maoist struggle sessions. People who believe in borders are wrongthinkers motivated by an irrational hatred for their black and brown fellows. All rightthinkers know that if we abolished borders, the world’s working classes would come together in an international brotherhood of man, ending suffering forever. ‘Racist’ has replaced ‘bourgeoisie’ as the label describing the chief enemy. If you disagree with the dogma that human nature is a blank slate upon which anything can be written, or that evolution stops at the neck, or that past discrimination justifies and necessitates present discrimination, then you are a racist. Today’s wrongthinkers are, as then, anyone who disagrees with Communist Party dogma. As with Revolutionary China, they achieve the same objective: to eliminate wrongthinkers. In Clown World they have been reintroduced, under various guises, to workplace training and education. Struggle sessions were banned in China after Deng Xiaoping came to power. In reality, struggle sessions were used to destroy any and all enemies of the Communist Party. This was considered to be as much for their sake as anyone else’s, because a struggle session might prevent someone from being sent to a labour camp. These counter-revolutionary ideas put everyone at risk, and therefore they had to be driven out. The idea was that certain wrongthinkers harboured opinions that threatened the viability of the Revolution. The target of a struggle session would be subjected to ritualised public degradation for an extended time, with the intent of breaking them down and making them submissive towards the Communist Party.
It is from Communism that Clown World has adopted struggle sessions.ĭuring the Chinese Cultural Revolution, Communist revolutionaries formalised their systems of humiliation and abuse into what were known as ‘struggle sessions’. From capitalism we have taken soulless, materialistic overconsumption and from Communism we have taken resentment-fuelled narratives of hate. Sometimes it feels as if Clown World takes the worst aspects of other political systems and combines them all into one infernal whole.
