    Comedian Bill Maher blasted woke revolutionaries who think they can change human nature during his show Friday, drawing parallels between the woke movement in the U.S. and the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

    During Friday's episode of HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," Maher took aim at leftist activists, saying that they are actually fighting a war with reality and biology.

    "If you're part of today's woke revolution, you need to study the part of revolutions where they spin out of control because the revolutionaries get so drunk on their purifying elixir, they imagine they can reinvent the very nature of human beings," Maher said.

    Maher then discussed communists, who he said believed that they could selfishness from humanity.

    "The problem with communism, and with some very recent ideologies here at home is that they think they can change reality by screaming at it, that you can bend human nature by holding your breath. But that's the difference between reality and your mommy," Maher said.

    The comedian also joked that he had asked ChatGPT about similarities between Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution in China and the woke revolutionaries of today, saying that it responded by asking him how much time he had.

    Maher referenced Mao's war on the Four Olds of old thinking, old culture, old customs, and old habits before he compared communist reeducation programs to freshman orientation at American universities.

    To back up his claims, Maher pointed to Jason Kilborn, a law professor who was disciplined for alluding to racial slurs in a test question about racial bias, and Winston Marshall, a former banjo player for Mumford and Sons who was criticized after sharing that he liked a book by Andy Ngo.

    During the monologue, Maher also blasted those who think they can erase gender and make obesity healthy by creating a new human.

    "With communists, that human was no longer selfish. In America today, that human is no longer born male or female. And obesity is not something that affects health. You can be healthy at any size. Seriously, we voted on it," Maher said.

    Maher, who has been critical of gender theory in the past, blasted The Atlantic as a "formerly serious magazine" because it had published an article about not segregating sports by sex.

    "I've spent three decades on TV mocking Republicans who said climate change was just a theory," he concluded. "And now I got to deal with people who say, 'You know what else is just a theory? Biology.'"
