Communism has never been successful

Communists like Zohran Mamdani of NY believe the basic Marxist lie: wealth is stolen from the poor and his supporters are victims. The Marxist lie of the last 50 years has moved from worker to race: white man bad. The shift allows for more victims, since the ethnic Europeans are vastly outnumbered. Making the victims intersectional, only adds to the millions they've conned. Although if you've noticed, Mamdani is white and wealthy. He had a huge elaborate wedding (don't know the sex) back in his home country of Uganda from which his parents had to flee so he could grow up a rich kid in the U.S. His lies and those of Bernie, Pelosi, AOC and others, only work on the ignorant and those who've forgotten the 100,000,000 killed in the 20th century by his Marxist lies. For all its faults, free market capitalism has liberated more people from poverty than any other system. The middle class in the U.S. isn't disappearing--they've moved up. "Between 1820 and 2015, extreme poverty plummeted from 90% to 10% globally in that span. This statistic is one of the greatest accomplishments of mankind and should be celebrated as such."

Another tenet of Communism in addition to victimhood, is destruction of the family. This is one they work hard on through social media, entertainment industry, school system. Loyalty must be to the government, not God.

Communists like Mamdani and his colleagues called Democrats, Socialists and Progressives lie, cheat, steal the wealth of others, maim and enslave, as seen with our border crises, for their own gain. Those of you old enough to remember Stalin, it's the same lie with some definition changes. Their attraction is to the uneducated and the over educated at our universities.

The Marxist roots of Critical Race Theory

"CRT has its roots in the early 20th Century thought of neo-Marxist Antonio Gramsci, founder of the Italian Communist Party. His desire was to spur on the stalled communism of 19th Century social revolutionists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels toward an overthrow of the “bourgeoisie” (ruling middle- and upper-class) by the proletariat (working-class). To accomplish this goal, societal norms and institutions, such as family, nation state, capitalism, and God, needed to be torn down, and this is where we begin to see the notion of group-based morality, with the idea that what is moral is what serves the interests of the “oppressed” or “marginalized.”

While European Marxism focused on class, a distinctly American brand of Marxism was brought to America in 1937 by scholars from the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt, Germany, known commonly as the Frankfurt School, who left Nazi Germany to escape the Third Reich. They eventually landed in New York where they setup shop at the Columbia University Teachers’ College. While most of the Frankfurt scholars returned to Germany after the defeat of the Nazis, Herbert Marcuse stayed behind and became one of the leading spokesmen of Critical Theory (on which CRT is based) during the massive upheavals of the 1960s and early 1970s caused by riots and violence associated with the Civil Rights and anti-Vietnam movements. The focus shifted specifically to oppressed ethnic, racial, and gender groups.

In short, CRT argues that America’s legal, economic, and political systems are inextricably racist. It argues that racism advances only the interests of white elites materially and working-class whites mentally. CRT Chooses race-consciousness over the Enlightenment view of colorblindness as a societal norm. Since all whites benefit from an unearned advantage, race-consciousness remedies rectify this inherent injustice. CRT criticizes the civil-rights movement and the liberal ideology it promotes. The view is civil rights laws are limited to isolated discriminatory acts by individuals or businesses, when in fact discrimination continues to be both pervasive and systemic. CRT rejects the principle of equal opportunity, believing it to be a myth, and rejects conceptions of “merit” since only those in power determine what is equal or what has merit. Finally, CRT promotes equality of results instead of equality of opportunity.

Critical theory, the importance of children

I just watched on TV one of those disgusting "lesson plans" to sexualize American children in kindergarten. I think it was for Ohio, but not sure. If you think this doesn't exist, you're dreaming. The school administrators and state boards of education are flat out lying to you. You can get rid of your Disney stock, but you may have to run for school board. There are many teachers left with good values who are sick about it, but they need their jobs, and unions certainly won't help them.

Critical theory has been in the college classes and faculty publications for over 40 years. Now with so much intersectionality where race and sex, or gender and ethnicity and sexual preference link arms (or other body parts), it is a massive political movement. The children are even more essential today to the cause than they were in the 19th century where this all began.

Carl R. Trueman in his book "The rise and triumph of the modern self," ch. 7, calls it the shotgun marriage between Freud and Marx with Erich Fromm performing the nuptials and many in the bridal party like Max Horkheimer, Wilhelm Reich, Herbert Marcuse, Friedrich Engels, Antonio Gramsci, Vladimir Lenin and other lesser know academics and behaviorists.

Karl Marx thought the working class would triumph over the middle class and replace capitalism with communism and all could be controlled by the state. Sigmund Freud always was about the individual and sex drive. "For Freud civilization was impossible except for a society that was prepared to repress the most fundamental of human instincts, the desire for sexual satisfaction via unhindered sexual activity." It was up to others mentioned above to bring the shotgun wedding to the current left wing ideology (Trueman has articles on the internet which you can check, and many are critical of his ideas). But you can see Freud's belief in sexual expression, especially in children, as front and center of this anti-family 21st century curriculum. To simplify, all the critical theory branches whether feminism, LGBTQxyz, or critical race theory are anti-western civilization, anti-patriarchy, and anti-family. You will get no points for "traditional values" or the traditional family as a societal good. That's hateful in their eyes. This messy cabal see the family as the vehicle to pass down wealth and property, and marriage as the oppression of women. Incidentally, these European and American scholars and "professionals" all had low opinions of women and some abandoned wives and children for mistresses and lovers.
 
As far back as 1936 Wilhelm Reich stressed the importance of childhood sexuality and sexual identity for the "struggle" to destroy capitalism and civilization. That's why their education can't be left up to their parents. All sexual taboos must be lifted. Sex is no longer considered a private activity -- it is social, public and political.
 
There's quite an uproar going on within the Christian "community" these days, and most of the crazies are in the seminaries and universities. But be advised, your church may be on the wrong side.

Critical Race Theory, definitions and dangers

 From American Spectator, comparing it to the four states of cancer in which the signs aren't noticed until the victim is almost gone:  "In brief: critical race theory (CRT) is a modified form of Marxism that divides people based on race and culture rather than class. The worldviews are similar in every other important way, the most significant being that they are promoted and perpetrated by people seeking their own power and aggrandizement regardless of the cost to society or to humanity. In the first iteration of this mindset, this meant the death of about 100 million human beings.

Just as Karl Marx didn’t necessarily intend his philosophy to lead to the murderous pogroms of Stalin or Pol Pot or to Mao Zedong’s starving tens of millions of his own countrymen to death in “the biggest episode of mass murder ever recorded,” CRT founder Derrick Bell might not have intended his new “theory” to become the national cancer that it is. Indeed, CRT was initially little more than a debate in academia about the proper way to structure a college curriculum. No need for the “working man” or the “soccer mom” to care about that, right? The founding of CRT was Stage One of its cancerous spread; it was there, but nobody recognized its terrible, inevitable path." . . . and to stage four

"Purveyors of this evil mindset, such as Ibram X. Kendi and KimberlĂ© Crenshaw, race-hustlers like Al Sharpton and Robin DiAngelo (yes, race-hustlers can be white, too), and the mendacious yet still fĂȘted-at-all-the-right-cocktail-parties Nikole Hannah-Jones, are making careers out of poisoning the minds of Americans and turning us against each other based on the immoral concept that a few hundred million individual Americans are responsible for misdeeds of mostly long-dead others, very often others who died before today’s Americans’ progenitors even reached these shores."
