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.

I start doing my part in the Counter-Revolution today

Inspiring book of hope. Like many I have sat back in frustration watching the creep of the Critical Movement through our institutions. Sorry Jeff B., cancelling my Post subscription today. Your uncurated opinion comment sections and selective reporting are clear evidence that Democracy is Dying in Darkness.

Required Reading

This is a brilliant and well informed synthesis of.the nihilism endemic among the parasitic cultural elite and masses of their meme-infected hosts. The counterrevolutionary response described in the closing chapter can not be too soon or too strong if children, families, communities, and broader culture are to survive and flourish. This desire is artfully summed up in the last three words of the concluding chapter (which I will not disclose here). Those timeless words are what could unite all people of good will against failed divisive ideologies.

Great book!

Awesome read. I’ve recommended it to several friends, family members, and coworkers. Lots of information clearly lined out in a relatable and understandable manner.

Normal thinking Americans are not crazy

The cultural Marxism that came out in force during my late teens until now has always been very confusing to me. As inherently depraved as the woke utopian view is, it still managed to shame normal thinking Americans into cowardly silence. This book brilliantly serves to describe how we arrived at this point, as it delivers a rallying cry for Americans to wake up and rescue our republic from critical theory hell.

World view changing.

A look inside the infrastructure of the Left's philosophy and how they captured the institutions.

Highly organized overview

Moderate depth with good contextual connections to the parallel movements. Showing the development of the thought while relating to the progression of terminology. I will be reading this again as a framework for further study.

Right Wing Intellectual Heavyweight

Christopher Rufo has confirmed what I have suspected for years. The biggest problem in the West is the white left intellectual. Of course, Herbert Marcuse was a German with a bourgeois upbringing. The only thing that would have surprised me more was if Marcuse had been French with a bourgeois background. Europe was the haven for far left-wing ideology. No longer. Somehow this malignant cancer has metastasized and spread across the pond to America. Luckily, the right has intellectuals too and chief among them are Chirstopher Rufo, George F. Will, and Father Spitzer. Please learn from them as I have.

The most unsettling book I have ever read!

A must read for every American who cares about the founding principles of this country and who have watched in horror at their disintegration. Mr Rufo connects the dots of much of what we see happening on the news and in society. He explores the philosophical underpinnings of the radical left and the insidious tactics used over the last fifty years that have impacted many in our country and abroad. He leaves us with some hope of reconstituting objective truths. I would like to hear more about what individuals can do to join in a counter-revolution to fight against neo-Marxism and Nihilism.

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!
