The Sudden Persecution of Men in America: A Marxist Purging of "Decadence"

The Sudden Persecution of Men in America: A Marxist Purging of "Decadence"

As an Iranian-American ex-Muslim Christian conservative, I have witnessed a shift in the cultural and political landscape of the United States that deeply concerns me. Over the past few years, I’ve seen a systematic persecution of men, particularly those in positions of power or influence. This reminds me of the Maoist "purging" of what Marxism perceives as decadence. The recent cultural revolution in America parallels the purges of history, where dissenters, or anyone deemed decadent by the revolutionaries, must be eradicated to consolidate control. It feels like we are living through our own form of ideological cleansing.

Take, for example, the case of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. For decades, everyone knew about his infamous party lifestyle. He was no stranger to the public eye, and his parties and behaviors were not secret. This is no defense of his alleged actions, but let’s ask a bigger question: why now? Why are we seeing this sudden wave of accusations against powerful men like Diddy and countless others from the past 30 years? It’s not just about one man; it’s a cultural shift where a new form of Marxist-inspired revolution seems to be targeting men, particularly those who have been symbols of traditional power and influence.

Let’s think critically. The #MeToo movement, which started with noble intentions of holding predators accountable, has transformed into something much larger. It has taken on a new, more dangerous flavor in which powerful men are toppled like dominos, often without a fair trial in the court of public opinion. Some of the major cases over the past three decades are notable:

1. Michael Jackson – One of the most iconic figures in music history, Michael Jackson faced allegations of child abuse starting in the 1990s, which resurfaced multiple times before his death in 2009. These allegations tainted his legacy and led to his effective exile from society despite his legal acquittal.

2. Bill Cosby – Once known as "America’s Dad," Cosby was one of the first in this modern era to face a public and legal reckoning. The accusations, spanning over decades, became public in 2014, and in 2018 he was convicted. His case was significant because it ushered in the wave of other high-profile men facing similar fates.

3. Harvey Weinstein – Weinstein's downfall in 2017 sparked the explosion of the #MeToo movement. He became the poster child for everything wrong with male power and was accused by dozens of women of sexual abuse, leading to his conviction.

4. R. Kelly – A famed R&B artist, Kelly’s accusations of sexual misconduct with underage girls surfaced in the early 2000s but didn’t lead to legal action until years later. His conviction in 2021 was another nail in the coffin for powerful male figures in entertainment.

5. Jeffrey Epstein – While Epstein's crimes were heinous, his role as a central figure in a network of elite men facing persecution cannot be ignored. His mysterious death in custody raised more questions than answers about who else may be involved.

6. Andrew Tate – A recent figure in the anti-male purging, Tate is a social media influencer and former kickboxer. He’s become infamous for his views on masculinity and relationships, leading to his arrest in 2023 on human trafficking charges. He represents a growing trend where powerful male voices, especially those critical of feminist or leftist ideologies, are being systematically silenced.

This list could go on: Donald Trump, Kevin Spacey, Johnny Depp, Prince Andrew, and more. What connects these men is not their guilt or innocence (in many cases, that’s still hotly debated), but the fact that they’ve been taken down at moments that align with a broader cultural revolution.

This shift reminds me of Mao’s Cultural Revolution in China. Mao sought to purge China of its “old ways” by eliminating anything or anyone considered decadent or bourgeois. Artists, intellectuals, and business leaders were targeted, humiliated, and in many cases, killed. Marxism, particularly in its Maoist form, views decadence as a threat to the egalitarian, collective society it wishes to create. Those with power, wealth, or influence must be destroyed, as they represent the old guard, the very thing standing in the way of the revolution.

In America, we are witnessing a similar purging of men—those who have been seen as symbols of power, wealth, and privilege. Regardless of whether these men are guilty of their alleged crimes, what we’re seeing is a concerted effort to decapitate the societal leadership, particularly male leadership, under the guise of social justice. It’s a tactic straight out of the Marxist playbook.

The question we should be asking isn’t simply, “What did these men do?” but rather, “Why now? Why are we seeing this sudden surge of accusations and takedowns?” Are we, as a society, thinking critically about the broader implications? Is this truly about justice, or is it a revolutionary movement seeking to upend traditional structures of power, particularly male power, in America?

As a Christian conservative, I believe in accountability and justice. But I also believe in due process, fairness, and the right to a fair trial—both in a court of law and in the court of public opinion. We should not allow ourselves to be swept up in the fervor of a cultural revolution without critically analyzing its motives and long-term goals.

The reality is, the Revolutionary Communists of America—or whatever label we want to apply to the current cultural movement—are coming to power, and they understand that before they can enslave society, they must first decapitate its leadership. And in America, that means targeting men. Regardless of what these individuals have done, we must ask ourselves if we are seeing the start of a broader, more dangerous cultural shift aimed at reshaping our entire society.

Are we thinking critically about what’s happening? Or are we blindly participating in a Marxist purging of the decadent—without realizing that we might be the next ones to be purged?
