This is a new cold war, and I hate to tell you this, we are currently losing.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Gallagher added that the reason we are losing is that \u201cwe no longer believe that we deserve to win.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new cold war is not simply a military competition,\u201d the former active-duty Marine said. \u201cIt\u2019s an ideological competition between two fundamentally incompatible systems of government. \u2026 The Chinese Communist party believes there can be no higher authority than the state, as run by the party.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Gallagher said the Chinese Communist Party altered the Bible in its approved \u201ctranslation\u201d to teach that even Christ himself is not above the state. \u201cThe state, in other words,\u201d Gallagher said, \u201cis the only religion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, anti-American leftist ideology weakens and demoralizes the United States, leaving us ill-prepared to face the threat of communism \u2014 something Gallagher said communist China uses to its advantage. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re already seeing them co-opt this anti-American narrative of the radical left, co-opting their talking points to launch a preemptive ideological strike designed to weaken our will to fight by poisoning the minds of many of our own citizens against this nation,\u201d Gallagher said. \u201cAnd since war remains primarily a contest of wills, by weakening our national pride through wokeism, the CCP increases its chances of winning World War III, either by defeating an unready American military in combat or by convincing America\u2019s leaders to surrender without fighting.\u201d <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Olivia Hajicek is an intern at The Federalist and a junior at Hillsdale College studying history and journalism.
