Karl Marx had a vision of ushering humanity through History, which he saw as progressing in discrete stages by what he referred to as “dialectical materialism.” He believed History would begin with primitive communism, develop slave economies, evolve into feudal estate economies, develop capitalism, then, following the revolution, enter into a managed state of socialism that would eventually give way to a Communist utopia. That revolution would be had by the class-conscious, awakened (Woke) working class, called the proletariat. The managed, administered state that would follow (“socialism”) would be ruled by a dictatorship of the proletariat that moved History toward Communism by making sure only those who have the right consciousness have privilege and power in society. Critical Race Theory repeats this historicism, applying the Hegelian master/slave dialectic not to economic class but to racial privilege. For them, primitive pre-racial tribal society gives way to slavery, then to apartheid and segregation, then colorblind equality (liberalism), which has to face its own revolution to achieve a managed state of racial equity that will eventually produce a post-racial utopia in which “racial justice” finally exists. The revolution and administered (socialist, “equity”) state will be led by a Dictatorship of the Antiracists (DOA?), comprised of awakened (Woke) Critical Race Theorists with the right critical consciousness of race. While this might sound far-fetched, this is precisely what Ibram X. Kendi called for in 2019 in the form of an “antiracist constitutional amendment” that would establish a Department of Antiracism (DOA) with dictatorial powers over all public and many private jurisdictions to enforce racial equity. It is also what the federal government of the United States is attempting to do under Biden’s and others’ equity proposals. Join me on this episode of James Lindsay OnlySubs, my subscribers-only podcast, to hear how this race-Marxism works.

How do we stop this? Most people here in California would have no problem with a Department Of Antiracism (DOA, ironic acronym by the way). I can see it being sold as department for civil rights or some other nonsense.
Another question, how does one start under mining the anti racist work? How do we communicate this with younger people (high schoolers on up?
Consensus to combating this seems to be to start with local groups – grassroots sort of thing. I agree this is important, but they’ve got 50 years ahead of us in community organizing. Plus when you collect a check or live off the M&P Prosperity plan (Mom & Pop), you’ve got lots of time to attend such meetings. Most of us are busy making the country function. While I agree with the concept of local organizing, I think we need to work to our strengths. While they’ve got the time, we’ve got the resources (although the Govt is trying to wipe that out as fast as they can with this inflation). Except they’ve sort of taken over the federal executive and legislative (and I’m from GA, so this is sort of our fault), so I don’t think we can muster the resources to do anything against THAT.
One possible use of our resources is to take up a fund (it have to be a BIG fund), and then initiate a campaign to convert the news from its current propaganda status back into honest reporting and journalism. If I was super rich, I would be happy to purchase their buildings, equipment, and intellectual property, and shut them down. That would be a start. All the woke news people could form their own networks and broadcast from the parking lots for all I care – as long as they couldn’t do it using the media names we all grew up trusting. Until we get the news back, nothing much else is going to be that effective.
I’m all ears if someone has an effective way to put our resources to GOOD use. Until then, I’d say get your a$$ to a meeting.
