1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: This is a bit of audio that I've been meaning 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: to get to for a while. Let me do that now. 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: James Lindsay explains what is called woke capital. And let's 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: take the case of bud Light. Why did bud Light 5 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: get so invested in transgenderism? Why did they allow themselves 6 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: to be attached with Dylan mulvaney, Why did they make 7 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: a why did they put the dude's face on a 8 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: beer can? Why did they invest in this? This wasn't 9 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: just some dude who couldn't get any attention from being 10 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: a gay guy, so then announced he's a little girl 11 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: and his idea of being a woman is acting like 12 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: about a nine year old girl at a slumber party. 13 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: That's what women are supposed to be. 14 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: No, but. 15 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: Why did did they get themselves allow themselves to get 16 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: sucked into this? Well, James Lindsay explains. 17 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 3: I could talk to you guys for an hour about 18 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 3: how ESG scores work, but let me just give you 19 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 3: an example. Do you think bud Light wanted to put 20 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 3: Dylan Molvani's face on a beer can and lose what 21 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 3: thirty billion dollars or whatever it is? 22 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 4: No, they did not. 23 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 3: Maybe that one lady did that they let take the 24 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 3: fall or a handful of activists that are working in 25 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 3: the company. But the fact of the matter is we 26 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 3: saw immediately afterwards that the Human Rights Campaign publishes a 27 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 3: number called the Corporate Equality Index that requires them to 28 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 3: do visibility activism, that requires them to go testify or 29 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 3: lobby for bills. It requires corporations to do activism on 30 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: behalf of whatever its agendas are, and then that score 31 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 3: is used as a proxy to their ESG scores, their Environmental, 32 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 3: Social and Governance behavior scores, which are the most corrupt 33 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 3: cartel system that the finance industry's ever come up with, 34 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 3: and is being used to push the United Nations and 35 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 3: CCP agenda to destroy America. 36 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: Kelly Robinson is the president of something called the HRC 37 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: Human Rights Campaign, the very same human rights campaign that 38 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: has pressured companies like Target, brands like bud Light to 39 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 1: go against their best interest, to go against the values 40 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: of their core base of consumers and support their far 41 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: left causes. I would like to read a portion of 42 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: Kelly Robinson's biography. This appears on the Human Rights Campaign website. 43 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: I will read it exactly as it is written. Kelly 44 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: Robinson is the ninth President of the Human Rights Campaign, 45 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: the first black queer woman to lead the organization. The 46 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: Human Rights Campaign is America's largest civil rights organization, working 47 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: to achieve equality and liberation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, 48 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: and queer people. Robinson, widely respected for her work over 49 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: the last fifteen years creating and leading winning campaigns and programs, 50 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: steps into her new role at HRC after serving as 51 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: executive director of Planned Parenthood Action Fund. Okay makes sense, 52 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: you want to kill babies? 53 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: You wanna? 54 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: Okay? From community organizer now like Barack Obama, to progressive leader. 55 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: Robinson has been at the forefront in the fight for 56 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: bodily autonomy. That is, if you have a baby inside 57 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: you, you can kill it. That's what bodily autonomy means. And 58 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: racial engender equity, not equality, equity with a focus on 59 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: lifting up marginalized communities. And here's the part I highlighted 60 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: when I'm printed it building political power. Keep that in 61 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: mind as we play the next two cuts for you, 62 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: Kelly Robinson, her description to black queer woman and the 63 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: Human Rights League are not about equality, they are about 64 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: political power. First up is Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana. 65 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: He asked Kelly Robinson, if she thinks biological males have 66 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: an advantage over women, wait till the end. You're not 67 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: going to want to miss former collegiate swimmer and brave 68 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: eve patriot Riley Gaines. Who's going to chime in with 69 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: facts at the end. 70 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 3: That a biological male has a physical advantage in sports 71 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 3: over a biological female. 72 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 5: Not as a definitive statement. 73 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 4: Give me an example. Well, now, I don't think how 74 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 4: many female members of the NBA do you see? 75 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 5: Well, I can say that, you know, there's been this 76 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 5: news article about men that think that they could beat 77 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 5: Serena Williams in tennis, right, that they think that they 78 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 5: could actually score a point on her, and it's just 79 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 5: not the case. She is stronger than that. 80 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 4: What's your experience being male female? 81 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 6: Both Serena and Venus lost to the two hundred and 82 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,119 Speaker 6: third ranked male tennis player, which they're phenoms for women. 83 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 5: My experience my. 84 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 6: Husband, he swam at University of Kentucky as well. In 85 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 6: terms of accolades and in terms of national ranking. I 86 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 6: was a much better swimmer than him. He could kick 87 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 6: my butt any day of the week without trying. 88 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: Next you're going to hear Senator Ted Cruz of Texas 89 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: ask Kelly Robinson, the self described black queer woman who 90 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: leads the Human Rights Campaign, if she believes there's a 91 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: difference between men and women. Is there a difference? 92 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 6: Ms? 93 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: Robinson? 94 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 7: Do you agree with miss Gaines that there's a difference 95 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 7: between women and men? 96 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 5: If the question is about trans women, I'm. 97 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: Just asking is there a difference between women and men? 98 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 5: What I can't say is that the NCAA has rules 99 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 5: in place. They've had rules in place for the last decade, 100 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 5: and when this competition. 101 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,799 Speaker 7: I'm going to try rules very clear. Do you believe 102 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 7: there's a difference between women and men? 103 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: It's a yes no. Question is do you believe there's 104 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: a difference? 105 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 5: Oh, I think that we're talking about this case with 106 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 5: the answer no. 107 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 7: I'm asking a question, do you believe there's a difference 108 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 7: between women and men? Most people could answer this very simply. 109 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 7: I'm curious if you're willing to do so. 110 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 6: Oh. 111 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 5: Absolutely, I'm just putting into the context of the vization 112 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 5: that we're having. I think that there are definitions. 113 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 7: Really, so I'm trying to get a yes or no. 114 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 7: I'm not trying to get a speech. Is there a 115 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 7: difference between women and men? 116 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 5: I think that there are definitions for biological sex. 117 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: So you're not answering. 118 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 7: Let me ask you this question, then, why do women's 119 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 7: sports exist? If you can't define a difference between women 120 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 7: and men, why not abolish women's sports and just tell 121 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 7: little girls to swim with little boys and see who wins. 122 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 5: Oh, I'm simply saying that that sex. 123 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 2: My question why. 124 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 5: It's a great value. I mean, Senator, I'll take. 125 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 2: Miss Robinson, please answer the question. 126 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 7: I'm asking you absolutely why do women's sports exist? 127 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 5: I think that there are so many positive benefits to sports. 128 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 7: But why have a secer back category for women? If 129 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 7: there's no difference between women and men, why to have 130 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 7: women's sports. 131 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 5: I'm saying that there's a difference between sex and gender, 132 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 5: and that the NCAA has rules in place, which they 133 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 5: have for the last decade. 134 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: I would like to. 135 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 7: Enter the record and an article from Duke Law called 136 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 7: comparing athletic performances for the best elite women to boys 137 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 7: and men. 138 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 2: You today to the Colonial House Apartments and receive a 139 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 2: free even we're recorded. 140 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: We played a portion of a James Lindsay speech in 141 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: the last segment explaining woke capital and why companies like 142 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: bud Light get themselves into trouble. I want to go 143 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: back and revisit part of that speech he gave to 144 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: the European Parliament about cultural Marxism. We'll play as much 145 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: as we can. I don't know how much we'll get 146 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: to for the rest of the hour, but I think 147 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: this speech is incredibly important and I want. 148 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 4: To share it with you. Hello, thank you. I'm glad 149 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 4: to be here. 150 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 3: I want to address something Tom just said, which is, 151 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 3: in fact that woke is supposed to advance equity in Europe. 152 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 3: So here's the definition of equity, and see if it 153 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 3: sounds like a definition of anything else you've ever heard of. 154 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 3: The definition of equity comes from the Public Administi literature. 155 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 3: It was written by a man named George Frederickson, and 156 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 3: the definition is an administered political economy in which shares 157 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 3: are adjusted so that citizens are made equal. Does that 158 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 3: sound like anything you've heard of before? Like socialism, They're 159 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 3: going to administer an economy. 160 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 4: To make shares equal. 161 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 3: The only difference between equity and socialism is the type 162 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 3: of property that they redistribute, the type of shares they're 163 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 3: going to redistribute social and cultural capital in addition to 164 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 3: economic and material capital. And so that this is my 165 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 3: thesis when we say what is woke, woke is Maoism 166 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 3: with American characteristics. If I might borrow from Mao himself 167 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 3: who said that his philosophy was Marxism Leninism with Chinese characteristics, 168 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 3: which means woke is mark. It's a very provocative statement. 169 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 3: It's something you will certainly hear. It is not that 170 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 3: it is different, and the professors and the philosophers will 171 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 3: spend a large amount of time explaining to you, why no, no, 172 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 3: it's about economics, when it's Marxism, this is social, this 173 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 3: is cultural, this is different. 174 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 4: It's not different. 175 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 3: I need you to think biologically for one moment, and 176 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 3: I don't mean about your bodies. 177 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 4: We could do that, that's a different topic. 178 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 3: I want you to think how we organize plants and 179 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 3: animals when we study them. They're species, but above species, 180 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 3: they are the genus of the animals. So you think 181 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 3: like the cats, all the cats, but you have tigers, 182 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 3: you have lions, you have house cats, you have whatever, leopards, 183 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 3: many different kinds of cats. If we think of Marxism 184 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 3: as a genus of ideological thought. Then classical economic Marxism 185 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 3: is a species. Radical feminism is a species in this 186 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 3: same genus. Yes, critical race theory is a genus, or sorry, 187 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 3: a species in this genus. 188 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 4: Queer theory is a species in this genus. 189 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 3: Postcolonial theory that's plaguing Europe is a species in this genus. 190 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 3: And they have something that binds them together called intersectionality, 191 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 3: that makes them treated as if they are all one thing. 192 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 3: But the logic is Marxist, and I want to convince 193 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 3: you of that, because Marx had a very simple proposition. 194 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 4: But we get lost. 195 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 3: We think that Marx was talking about economics, because he 196 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 3: often talked about economics. 197 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 4: He wrote a book called Capital. 198 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 3: It's very famous book, and we think, well, this is 199 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 3: about economic theory. 200 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 4: But this isn't true. It's always true on the surface. 201 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 3: If we go below the surface, what Marx was talking 202 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 3: about with something different. We know what Marx's hypothesis was 203 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 3: was that we must seize the means of production. If 204 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 3: we're going to bring socialism to the nations, to the world, 205 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 3: we have to seize. 206 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 4: The means of production. 207 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 3: So we have to ask what does he mean and 208 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 3: if we think that it's about capital, then we miss 209 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 3: what he means. If you think it's about the means 210 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 3: of production in the factory with a hammer and the 211 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 3: means of production in the field with a sickle, then 212 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 3: you miss what it means. Because Marx explained what makes 213 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 3: human beings special in his earlier writings, and what makes 214 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 3: human beings special is that man is a being that 215 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,599 Speaker 3: is incomplete and knows that he is incomplete. He is 216 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 3: a man whose true nature has been forgotten to him, 217 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 3: which is social being. He is a socialist at heart 218 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 3: who doesn't realize it. And the reason he doesn't realize 219 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 3: it is because of the economic conditions operating as the 220 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 3: means of construction or production, not just of the economy 221 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 3: but of him, but of man, of society, and particularly 222 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 3: of history. Marx said that he had the first scientific 223 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 3: study of history. How is history produced by man doing 224 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 3: man's activity? And man's key activity was economic activity, as 225 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 3: he saw it, and so economic production doesn't just produce 226 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 3: the goods and services of the economy, it produces society itself, 227 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 3: and society in terms produces man. He called this the 228 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 3: inversion of praxis, and so when he says, we must 229 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 3: seize the means of production, and he's talking about factories 230 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: and fields. He's actually talking about how we construct who 231 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: we are as human beings, so that we might complete ourselves, 232 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 3: so that we might complete history. And at the end 233 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 3: of history, mankind will remember that he is a social being, 234 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 3: and we will have a socialist society, a perfect communism 235 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 3: that transcends. 236 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 4: Private property, is how he put it. 237 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 3: He said, in fact, that communism is the transcendence of 238 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 3: private property as human self estrangement. That's a quote from 239 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 3: the Economic Philosophic Manuscripts of nineteen eighteen forty four. So 240 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 3: Marx was interested in controlling our understanding and controlling how 241 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 3: man produces himself, and he writes about this exclusively in 242 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 3: the eighteen forties, very deeply. 243 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 4: How do we do this? 244 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 3: And he looks at the economic conditions and he says, 245 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 3: this is where it is, and that's why we get 246 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 3: economic Marxism, and that's why we think Marx was an economist. 247 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 3: But Marx was never an economist. He was a theologian. 248 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 3: He wanted to produce a religion for mankind that would 249 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 3: supersede all of the religions of mankind and bring him 250 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 3: back to his true social nature. And this is the 251 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 3: true fact of Marx. And what the goal was, like 252 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 3: I said, is to complete man. So what he said is, well, 253 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 3: how are we building man currently? All of his economic 254 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 3: analysis is about how are we building man at present? 255 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 3: Through what he called material determinism, And he said, well, 256 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 3: what we have is a special form of private property 257 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 3: in our society. Our society is organized around private property, 258 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 3: and so all of our thoughts organize around private property. 259 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 3: In other words, there's this special kind of property that 260 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 3: the bourgeois elite class has access to, and then they 261 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 3: organize society to exclude everybody else from access to that 262 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 3: property through exploitation, through alienation. 263 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 4: Through estrangement, through oppression. 264 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 3: And so what Karl Marx was proposing is that economics 265 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 3: becomes a vehicle to separate society into a bourgeois class 266 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 3: that has access to a special form of property. The 267 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 3: people who have access wish to retain that, so they 268 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 3: oppress people and keep other people out of that special 269 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 3: form of property. They erect a system of classism to 270 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 3: do that. It's enforced by an ideology called capitalism that 271 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 3: believes that this is the right way to engage in 272 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 3: the world. And what we have to do is awaken 273 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 3: the under class the proletariat, to the real conditions and 274 00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 3: the fact that they are historical agents of change and 275 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 3: bring them to do a revolution and transform society so 276 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 3: that we would have equity or socialism, whichever word you want, 277 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 3: they have the same definition. Now let's say that we 278 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 3: step out, we step back from this species, this economic species, 279 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 3: Homo economicus, and we step back to the genus, and 280 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 3: we look at this idea, a special form of property 281 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 3: that segregates society into people who have, the bourgeois and 282 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 3: the people who do not have, who are in class. 283 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 3: Conflict with an ideology that keeps this in place, and 284 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 3: the underclass must awaken with consciousness to fight back and 285 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 3: to seize the means of production of that form of 286 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 3: deterministic property. And now we say, change out class, put 287 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 3: in race, and watch we get critical race theory falls 288 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 3: out of the hat, just like that, very simple. In 289 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 3: nineteen ninety three, Cheryl Harris wrote a long article for 290 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 3: the Harvard Law Review called Whiteness's Property. She explained that 291 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 3: whiteness or white privilege, constitutes a kind of cultural private property. 292 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 3: She says it must be abolished in order to have 293 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 3: racial justice. Just like Karl Marx said that in the 294 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 3: communist Manifesto, Hero Communism can be summarized in a single sentence, the. 295 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 4: Abolition of private property. 296 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 3: Well, this is why critical race theory calls to abolish whiteness, 297 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 3: because whiteness is a form of private property. 298 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 4: Police chess can rolling around. 299 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 2: Damn it all right, this is Mark Chestnut and jar 300 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 2: the czar of Talk Radio. 301 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: Okay, we're short on time to get this in. We've 302 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: tried to break it up. I know this is a 303 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: lot of audio and people want to hear me talk, 304 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: but we want to amplify good messages. James Lindsay's speech 305 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: in front of the European Parliament on cultural maxim Marxism 306 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: is important here. 307 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 3: It is people who have access to this property are whites, 308 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 3: or white adjacent, or they act white. These are words 309 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 3: out of the American lexicon that they've used to describe 310 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 3: how people gain access to the private property. People without 311 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 3: that are people of color, and they are oppressed by 312 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 3: systemic racism. Systemic racism is enforced by an ideology of 313 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 3: white supremacy instead of capitalism. If you think of whiteness 314 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 3: as a form of cultural capital, white supremacy, as they 315 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 3: define it as identical to capitalism. It's the belief. It's 316 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 3: not believing that white people are superior. It's believing that 317 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 3: white people have access to the control of society and 318 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 3: should maintain that. Even if you don't actually believe that, 319 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 3: if you merely support that, you have adopted the ideology 320 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 3: of white supremacy into your mind, and so you have 321 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 3: the exact same system. And the goal is to awaken 322 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 3: a racial consciousness in people so that they will band 323 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 3: together as a class and seize the means of cultural production, 324 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 3: so that white cultural production is no longer the dominant mode. 325 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 3: It's a big mystery in your I know in the UK, 326 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 3: throughout Europe, I hear this question again and again. Why 327 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 3: on earth is this very American phenomenon about slavery and 328 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 3: so on that doesn't apply to our country. Why is 329 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 3: it popular here? It's because it's not about history at all. 330 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 3: It's not about slavery at all. Those are excuses that 331 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 3: they use. It's about creating a class consciousness that's against 332 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 3: this form of property called whiteness, that's against the dominant culture. 333 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 3: That may just be a matter of fact, say if 334 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 3: you're in Europe. That's why, because it becomes a site 335 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 3: by which people can come together and they can channel 336 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 3: resentment and try to claim power. I wrote a book 337 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 3: called Race Marxism, and I defined critical race theory as 338 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 3: it really is in that book. 339 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 4: On the first page, I said that critical. 340 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 3: Race theory is calling everything you want to control racist 341 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 3: until you control it. But couldn't we say the same 342 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 3: about Marxism. It's calling everything you want to control bourgeois 343 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 3: until you control it. But those mean the same thing. 344 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 3: They mean exactly the same thing. But what about, say, 345 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 3: queer theory, how is that Marxist? It's very strange, all 346 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 3: this gender and sex and sexuality. Well, Tom said, what 347 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 3: is woke? Attack the idea of being normal? Well, the 348 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 3: queer theory thinks that there are certain people who get 349 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 3: to set the norms of society. They are privileged. They 350 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 3: call themselves normal. They say this is normal. It's normal 351 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 3: to consider yourself a man and look like a man, 352 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 3: and act like a man, and dress like a man, 353 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,719 Speaker 3: and eat meat like a man. And then there are 354 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 3: women that should be feminine and pretty and all these things, 355 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 3: and so they get to define what's normal. They're heterosexuals, 356 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 3: so they get to define the heterosexuality is normal and 357 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 3: other sexualities are abnormal. 358 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 4: And so you have a conflict. 359 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 3: Across this cultural property of who gets to be considered 360 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 3: normal and who is a pervert or a freak or 361 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 3: some other term that gets used in their literature. 362 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 4: But technically who is a queer? 363 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 3: Which sounds like a slurb, but they adopted it and 364 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 3: it's a technical academic term. Now it means an identity 365 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 3: without an essence, by the way, an identity that is 366 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 3: strictly oppositional to the concept of the normal, as defined 367 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 3: by queer theorist David Halperin in his nineteen ninety five 368 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 3: book Saint Foucaut Toward a Gay Hagiography. 369 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 4: I didn't make that up. I'm not extrapolating. 370 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 3: So you see, queer theory is just another species of 371 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 3: the genus of Marxism. What about post colonial theory, which 372 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 3: is plaguing Europe thanks to Franz Fannin and his biggest 373 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 3: European fan, Jean Paul Sartre. 374 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 4: What about this? What's the same. You have the West 375 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 4: as the oppressor. 376 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 3: They have access to the material and cultural wealth of 377 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 3: the world because they've decided their culture is the default 378 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 3: and have gone and colonized the world to bring culture 379 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 3: to the world, as they say, and so the oppressed, 380 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 3: the natives around the world, the people have to band 381 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 3: together and their activity is going to be called decolonization. 382 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,719 Speaker 4: They have to remove every aspect of Western culture. 383 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 3: So when they come to Belgium or they come to France, 384 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 3: or they come to the United States and they say 385 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 3: we're going to decolonize the curriculum, or they go to 386 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 3: the UK and say we're going to decolonize Shakespeare, this 387 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 3: is what they mean. We're going to remove the cultural 388 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 3: significance of your cultural artifacts because those cultural artifacts themselves 389 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 3: are oppressive to us. This is the same system. It's 390 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 3: another species and the exact same genus, and that genus 391 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 3: is Marxism, which is a way of thinking about the world, 392 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 3: and the goal is always to seize the means of 393 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 3: control of the production of man and history and society. 394 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 3: Marx merely believed it was through economic means. Now it's 395 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 3: through socio cultural means. The evolution into this sometimes called 396 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 3: Western Marxism, began in the nineteen twenties. We had a 397 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 3: Russian Revolution in nineteen seventeen and this did not happen 398 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 3: in Europe, and the Marxists in Europe were confused, and 399 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 3: so Antonio Gramsci sat down and wrote out some things, 400 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 3: and Lukach sat down and wrote History and Class Consciousness 401 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 3: after the failure of the revolution in Hungary, and they 402 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 3: wrote what became cultural Marxism, the idea that we have 403 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 3: to enter the cultural institutions in order to change them 404 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 3: from within, because Western culture has something about it that's 405 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 3: repelling socialism, so we have to go inside and change 406 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 3: the culture to make it socialist. Now you aren't allowed 407 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 3: to talk about cultural Marxism. Now they've categorized this as 408 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 3: a conspiracy theory. 409 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 4: They say that it is anti Semitic. This is not true. 410 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 3: Antonio Gramsci wrote books, George Lukoch wrote books. 411 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 4: You can read those books. They have a philosophy. 412 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 3: If they don't like the name cultural Marxism, we can 413 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 3: use the name that other people at the time used, 414 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 3: Western Marxism. So much like I don't know, a virus 415 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,719 Speaker 3: adapting to the conditions, it changed to try to infect 416 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 3: a new host. It worked in feudal societies. Marxism took 417 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 3: over in Russia. It took over later in China, it 418 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 3: took over in all of these kind of agriculturally driven 419 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 3: feudal societies, but it wouldn't work in actual capitalist nations 420 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 3: because Marx was wrong. Then several Germans from the Frankfurt 421 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 3: School started to study this phenomenon in more depth, and 422 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 3: they evolved the idea further. They evolved the idea into 423 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 3: what's called critical Marxism. They developed what's called the critical theory. 424 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 3: And Max Horkheimer, who designed the critical theory, explained the 425 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 3: critical theory and what did he say? 426 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 4: He said, well, what. 427 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 3: We came to realize was that Marx was wrong about 428 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 3: one thing. Capitalism does not emiserate the worker. It allows 429 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 3: him to build a better life. So I developed the 430 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 3: critical theory because it is not possible to articulate the 431 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 3: vision of a good society on the terms of the 432 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 3: existing society. So critical Marxism criticizes the entirety of the 433 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 3: existing society. Everything is somehow needing to be subjected to 434 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 3: Marxist conflict analysis. 435 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 4: But how is that to be done? 436 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 3: They sought an answer through the middle part of the 437 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 3: twentieth century and World War II breaks out. The Frankfurt 438 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 3: School comes to America, which in this metaphor is the Wuhan. 439 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 4: Institute of Virology. 440 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 3: Because gain and function began to happen on the Marxist 441 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 3: virus very quickly in America, and American universities adopted these 442 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 3: professors from Germany. 443 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 4: Interpreter to teachings which she said in Spanish. 444 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 3: I just said it to the judge in Spanish because 445 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 3: I feel that she forgets that we're Hispanic and that 446 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:25,919 Speaker 3: we're the people that she targeted. 447 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 4: For a vote the Michael Verry Show. 448 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: All Right, finally, for short on time, here's the final 449 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: bit of James Lindsay's speech on cultural Marxism. Go to 450 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: the internet hear it for yourself. It's important. 451 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 3: Herbert Marcusa, writing in the nineteen sixties said extremely clearly this, 452 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 3: writing in nineteen sixty nine, not only did he say 453 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 3: capitalism delivers the goods, gives people a good life, makes 454 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 3: them wealthy and comfortable and happy, he also said that 455 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 3: the working class is no longer going to be the 456 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 3: base of the revolution because of these things. In other words, 457 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 3: we don't have to be responsible to the working class anymore, 458 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 3: which opens up the ability for Marxists who are seeking 459 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,239 Speaker 3: power to make friends with the corporations. The bosses are 460 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,880 Speaker 3: no longer the enemy. They're an opportunity because the working 461 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 3: class is irrelevant, he said. 462 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 4: The energy is somewhere else. 463 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 3: He said, it's in the racial minorities, the sexual minorities, 464 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 3: the feminists. 465 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 4: The outsiders. 466 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 3: That's who, he said, have the energy for a Marxist 467 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 3: revolution in the West, not the working class. And so 468 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 3: Marxism was able to evolve to abandon the working class. 469 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 3: And so what did they do, Well, all they had 470 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 3: studied for thirty years was what they called the culture industry, 471 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 3: an industry that commodifies and packages culture and sells it 472 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 3: back to people, so supposedly stripped of what it actually. 473 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,719 Speaker 4: Is, empty abstract now and so what of course did 474 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 4: they do. 475 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 3: They seize the means of production of the culture industry, 476 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 3: because that's what they do. And so they started to 477 00:26:54,240 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 3: transform the culture industry to sell racial sexual sexuality based 478 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 3: agit prop as though that were genuine culture. And so 479 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 3: we get concepts like cultural appropriation, we get concepts like 480 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 3: cultural relevance, cultural this, cultural that, cultural everything, and it's 481 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 3: all provided in pastiche. It's all provided as a mockery 482 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 3: of what's really going on. And this evolved in America's 483 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 3: highly racialized context, and we ended up with woke, a 484 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 3: form of identity based Marxism, a constellation of Marxist. 485 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 4: Species that all work. 486 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 3: With the same operating premise but locate themselves indifferent. And 487 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 3: I'll use the German term here for this folk. LGBTQ 488 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 3: is a folk and they get folkish identity there and 489 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 3: become activists. 490 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 4: The black community is a folk. How do I know? 491 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 4: That's what W. E. B. 492 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,479 Speaker 3: Duboce said it would be when he laid down the 493 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 3: foundations that became critical race theory later. They think of 494 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 3: themselves as nations. Don't they all have flags? Don't they 495 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 3: put them on your buildings like colonizers? Don't they hang 496 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,360 Speaker 3: them in your streets. They think of themselves as occupying nations, 497 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 3: but they see themselves as bound together, just like the 498 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 3: various colonized nations around the world, and seeking liberation from 499 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 3: Western civilization. And so we end up with Western Marxism 500 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 3: taking many forms, but with one overarching approach. 501 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,239 Speaker 4: And the approach that they use. 502 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 3: I started off by saying, is Maoist not merely Marxist? 503 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 3: Now you know the theory is marx It's just evolved 504 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 3: into different species to attack the West at its weakest points. 505 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 3: Through our tolerance, through our acceptance, through our openness, through 506 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 3: our generosity, through our best traits. Actually the things that 507 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 3: we should be proud of being, the things that we 508 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 3: are proud of being. But Mao Zedong knew how to 509 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 3: use identity politics. I don't know how you study in Europe, 510 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 3: but in America we have very red washed education, as 511 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 3: we might say, the communists have stripped out all education 512 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 3: about communism entirely. You don't learn about it in America 513 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 3: at all. So we don't learn anything about Mao. And 514 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 3: maybe you don't know this, but I tell this to 515 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 3: American audiences and they're shocked. Mao used identity politics. He 516 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 3: created ten identities in China. Five he labeled red for communists, 517 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 3: five he labeled black for fascist, and he categorized people 518 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 3: into these identity categories. What they are doesn't really matter. 519 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 3: Of course, they were communists. There were things like landlord 520 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 3: and rich farmer and things like this. Right winger is 521 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 3: a bad category in and of itself, by the way, 522 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 3: conservative All of them bad bad influences. That's another one. 523 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 3: You could be a bad influence for just thinking the 524 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 3: wrong thing, or saying the wrong thing at any time, 525 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 3: or because the government decides it doesn't like you. 526 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 4: These are the bad categories. 527 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 3: And if you have a bad category, very importantly, your 528 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 3: children have a bad category by default. So they create 529 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 3: a social pressure for your children to identify as revolutionaries, 530 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 3: at which point they get a red identity, a communist identity, 531 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 3: a good identity, and they. 532 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 4: Get rewarded for it. 533 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 3: And the youth led the revolution in China because Mao 534 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 3: did this identity politics through the children in the schools. 535 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 3: That should feel very uncomfortable to you, because here we have, 536 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 3: at least in the United States, we tell our children 537 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 3: being white is bad, being white is oppressive. You automatically 538 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 3: hurt people of other races by your very existence. But 539 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 3: by the way, if you become queer, we'll celebrate you. 540 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 3: And you can create a radical army of people who 541 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 3: identify as gender minorities and sexual minorities. At seven years old, 542 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 3: you can lead them into paths of puberty blockers and 543 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 3: transition medical transition, which, of course big pharm of profits 544 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 3: off of at seven years old, behind their parents back. 545 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 3: There's a reason for this. It's the same program that 546 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 3: mal Zeidong used to radicalize the youth in China. The 547 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 3: only thing different is the id identity categories have shifted. 548 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 3: It's Maoist cultural revolution with American characteristics, and it's being 549 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 3: exported to Europe. And just like how critical race theory 550 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 3: has come to Europe even though it doesn't make sense, 551 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,959 Speaker 3: it will come to Europe whether it makes sense or not, 552 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 3: and you will have a cultural revolution here too. 553 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 4: You guys even had a kind. 554 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 3: Of offshoot one in twenty twenty George Floyd dies in Minnesota, 555 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 3: which has nothing to do with you, and you guys 556 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 3: have statues coming down in Europe. 557 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 4: Total nonsense. 558 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter though, the point is to destroy Western 559 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 3: civilization from within using MAOIs techniques. One last point about 560 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 3: Mao to kind of drive that point home, Mao said 561 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 3: in nineteen forty two that his formula to transform China 562 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 3: was called unity criticism. 563 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 4: Unity. 564 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 3: First, you'd try to create the desire for unity, Then 565 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 3: you criticize people for not living up to that. Then 566 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 3: you bring them into unity under a new standard. Does 567 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 3: that feel like what you're being put through? But the 568 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 3: words are different. We use words like inclusion and belonging. 569 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 3: We'll have a place where everybody feels. 570 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 4: Like they belong. We just want to have an inclusive space. 571 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 3: But unfortunately you have racist ideas and you have to 572 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 3: criticize for you, we have to criticize you. For those, 573 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 3: you need to criticize yourself. For those, you need to 574 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 3: go study shwashi in Mandarin, exactly like Mao said. And 575 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,479 Speaker 3: then we can bring you into unity under a new 576 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 3: standard which Mau called socialist discipline, which we in the 577 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 3: West would not buy. We call it in the West inclusion. 578 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 3: And so we have this new program and within inclusion 579 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 3: we have or above inclusion, actually we have sustainability. We 580 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 3: have a sustainable and inclusive future. I see the Agenda 581 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 3: twenty thirty here with an X over it. The sustainable 582 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 3: and inclusive future is the new socialist standard that we 583 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 3: will have freedom under socialist discipline. And Mao said the 584 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 3: way that that will work is through what he called 585 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 3: democratic centralism. 586 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 4: We call that stakeholder capitalism. 587 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 3: And my shot at the World Economic Forum is taken 588 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 3: because it's one of the things co ordinating this. My 589 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 3: shot at the United Nations is taken because it's one 590 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 3: of the things that's coordinating this. So woke is Marxism 591 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 3: it's advancing through Maoist cultural revolution. It's using americanized identity categories. 592 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 3: And while some of those will not work, and Europe, 593 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 3: I guarantee you the colonial aspect will. They will find 594 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 3: your weakness, they will adapt the theory to fit because 595 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 3: it's like a virus that will evolve to its host. 596 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 3: And Europe is a great risk. Now, the last thing 597 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 3: I'll mention is this risk is twofold. When you endure 598 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 3: Marxist provocation, Marxist strategy is always of the same type. 599 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 3: It's called middle level violence. They don't come at you 600 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 3: with full blown Bolshevik assault. Very often it's middle level violence. 601 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 4: They provoke
