Bottom Line Up Front:
Steve Bannon and Jack Posobiec recently discussed the growing cultural movements that they argue mirror the Chinese Communist Party’s Cultural Revolution. With traditional values being undermined, especially through platforms like TikTok, they warn of a dangerous trend that could fundamentally reshape American society if left unchallenged.

The Cultural Revolution Echoes in Today’s US Political Movements
Steve Bannon and Jack Posobiec see a disturbing trend unfolding in the United States and beyond. This movement, they argue, is deeply connected to historical patterns of cultural revolutions, especially the one launched by Mao Zedong in China in 1966. “This is the same playbook,” says Bannon. He points to the "Four No’s” of the Chinese Cultural Revolution—no old ideas, no old culture, no old customs, and no old habits—as a framework for understanding today’s cultural shifts.
In the U.S., this radical, anti-traditional agenda is being pushed through social media platforms, particularly TikTok. Bannon argues that the growing push for gender identity politics, sexual liberation, and the breakdown of family structures is directly inspired by the Cultural Revolution. The current attacks on gender norms, marriage, and traditional roles are “a direct lift from Chairman Mao’s Red Guard,” Bannon states, signaling a dangerous trend in the fight over values.
The 4V Movement and Its Global Spread
This conversation shifts to the 4V movement, which Bannon and Posobiec identify as a modern echo of Mao’s revolution. It’s spreading rapidly in places like South Korea and China, where young women are rejecting modernity and returning to more traditional gender roles. In Korea, this movement has even been named “4V,” reflecting a return to values rooted in traditional marriage and family structures.
But Bannon doesn’t stop there. He connects these global movements to something happening right now in America. “Look at the girls on TikTok,” he says. “You see MAGA girls dancing in red hats, doing the latest trends. This is not just about politics; it’s about culture.” He believes these movements indicate a shift where younger generations are embracing a more traditional worldview, rejecting the radical ideals pushed by the left.
A Dangerous Trend: American Youth Turning Toward Tradition
Posobiec picks up on Bannon’s thoughts, highlighting the shift among young women in the U.S. “NBC just released a poll showing women under 30 have shifted 11 points toward Trump,” Posobiec notes. “The girls follow the bros. If the alpha male culture is moving toward something, the women will follow.” He argues that young women are increasingly drawn to traditional, even conservative, values, which he sees as a rejection of the radical left’s agenda.
This shift, while significant, comes with a sense of urgency. “American culture has always been rooted in certain traditions,” Bannon states, “but we are now at a crossroads.” If movements like the 4V are not addressed, they could transform American society just as Mao’s Red Guard changed China. Posobiec sees a dire need for awareness, claiming that these ideas, while dressed up in modern rhetoric, are simply the same old revolutionaries pushing to destroy long-held societal values.
The Risk of Ignoring the Warning Signs
Both Bannon and Posobiec are deeply concerned about the consequences of ignoring these ideological movements. Bannon draws a direct line from Mao’s revolution to today’s societal shifts, cautioning that Americans are witnessing a cultural breakdown similar to that seen in China during the 1960s. “This is the battle for the soul of America,” Bannon concludes, highlighting the importance of understanding the global trends that threaten the very fabric of society.
The parallels between the Chinese Cultural Revolution and today’s woke movements should not be overlooked. As Posobiec explains, “This is not just about politics. This is a cultural war, one that targets every aspect of life, from gender to marriage, from family to faith.”
Why Americans Must Act Now
Bannon and Posobiec stress the urgency of addressing these cultural shifts before they take root in the United States. The warning signs are clear: an assault on traditional values, the breakdown of family structures, and a rising culture of division. If these movements continue unchecked, they could lead America down a path similar to the one China followed during its Cultural Revolution.
In conclusion, Bannon and Posobiec’s discussion is a stark warning to Americans. If we fail to recognize the threat posed by movements that seek to destroy traditional values, we may face a cultural revolution of our own. The battle for America’s soul is underway—and it’s a fight we can’t afford to lose.
