As a black fella, I find this podcast invigorating and informative, I did not fully understand CRT until now. Now I know where this theory came from, it’s chief architect. I have studied the tenets of Marxism and found them fascinating but failed. I personally believe that this theory should not be imposed on people who share a collective history with us who operated on the other side of the rail. Thank you for bringing this information to my attention, cheers!

[@mikearchibald744]

There was nothing 'failed' about marxism, there has been no society built on anything close to marxist principles. Which of the 'tenets' that you studied told you that, or did you just watch a youtube video. America is now defined internationally as a 'plutaucracy', one where the government is controlled by a very few powerful people. The idea that you DON"T think america has 'failed' and that 'workers controlling the means of production' when even the moderate NON marxist notion of unions has been the only thing keeping most americans out of poverty is kind of ludicrous.

[@TorMax9]

The Critical Race Theorists might not have a desire to govern, but their pay masters do. Their pay masters behind the scenes are clever and see them as soft-headed useful idiots ready to sell their soul for a safe salary. Their pay masters have no ideology, all they want to do is agitate, disrupt, confuse, create chaos and conflict among all those outside their tribe and will rub and exaggerate and exploit any grievance they can find - race, gender, sexual orientation - and use any label - "socialism", "communism", "anarchy" - to cover their agenda, which is debt slavery. Their masters use a pincer strategy, control capital and compound interest and the judicial system from one side and sow social discord from the other so that one day when all seems hopeless and lost, they can ride to the "rescue" and impose their totalitarian, bureaucratic one-party police state like in the good ol' USSR. They don't care. They will do whatever works to undermine stability - family and community and transcendental faith - and gain absolute earthly political power. They want to get at the means of production by destroying the traditional "superstructure". They are pure evil. Soulless. Heartless. Blinded by greed. Paranoid. But they have a surprise coming. Man does not live by bread alone. There is an active, lively, dynamic LOGOS beyond their understanding and grasp and reach. They have no head for heights. They underestimate conscience and dignity and spirit.

There was an Italian communist called Gramsci who lived about a hundred years ago. He had a philosophy that communism couldn't succeed at the ballot box so in order to destroy Western capitalism the idea was to get Marxists into organizations of power and influence such as politics education the judiciary the media where they could beaver away spreading their poison behind the scenes. Universities have become repositories of Marxist propaganda. Western societies weakened by the battering ram of mass migration. Police and the court systems fail to contain crime. Woke policies such as diversity, inclusion and gender 'dysphoria' are more weapons in their arsenals. The Gramsciists will never give up, so we need to be vigilant.

Australia I think is THE "western democratic" country to watch over the next 3 years in terms of implementing the "transformation" into a socialist dystopia - will it descend into the basket-case that is New Zealand, or will its citizens have the testicles to surgically remove the cancer (as Australia has done several times in the past).

As an example--Katie Hobbs refused to participate in a debate with Kari Lake in the run-up to the Arizona gubernatorial election.

Critical Theory (of which CRT is merely one facet of) was founded by the think-tank known as the Frankfurt School. Most of these marxist intellectuals fled Nazi Germany due to their Jewish ethnicity. They ended up being welcomed with open arms by the existing liberal academia, where they continued their work on CT. The CRT egg merely hatched in American Academy - but it was conceived in the Jewish Frankfurt School.

So it was decided to manipulate the minds by limiting knowledge, in accordance with Lev Vygotsky's Educational Philosophy, and this was used to promote something in American Public Schools, called "Standardization" which limited what the American Student would learn.

The system is really only about one thing: absolute power and control.

Don’t forget though, Socialism, Marxism, Communism, Fascism, etc are all on the left. There is no opposition of Fascism and Communism. It is like both Shia and Sunni are Muslims, One group is not atheist.

How much wealth of the West came from Africa and inversely how much did Africa lose in the past 500 years? The share shifting of incalculable wealth and what amounts to irreparable damage in some aspects is a concern that helps interpret Critical Race Theory.

[@kimobrien.]

CRT is nothing but a pile of dung invented by demoralized Black American Bourgeois Professors. Capitalism can not solve Africa's problems. Socialism is the course that the Africa people must take just as it is for the working class in the Imperialist nations. When we can gain power we will pay a debt to Africa just as Fidel Castro did with Troops who were once the sugar cane slaves of Europe. Africa has been needlessly robbed and pillaged for the profit of Western Imperialism. Malcolm X is the kind of leader we all need.

She was secretary of state under George Bush aa well as National Security Advisor. She taught international business at Stamford University Graduate school of International Business. She headed the Hoover Institute and she is part owner of the Denver Broncos.Lets get her to run for president because frankly the current choices are deplorable.

CRT obviates the need for any thought, word or act of racism as proof of their presumed verdict. All they need is their preferred race measuring less favorably than another. Regardless of the cause: they declare their favored race to be victims of the other. Then they would use real government enforced discrimination in response to their presumed discrimination; altering laws, policies and practices to favor their preferred race. All for the stated purpose of forcibly making the measurements between races identical. The operative question is whether you support using government force to implement racial discrimination. All the rest is academic. My answer is no.

Follow the money and you'll find the conspiracy. Someone has to and is pulling the strings. The changes, CRT, trans and the like, did not happen organically but were and are being pushed down from the top through NGO's, unions and now, more so, through gov. grant money. Grant it, once these new principles, ideologies, became part of the system, the players; schools, teachers, administrators and politicians are, in general, nescient participants. These programs are all disguised as doing good, helping, benefiting a child but as we witness have long lasting destructive consequences. We have to call out those pushing evil on our kids and society. They need to be questioned and held to accountable.

Christopher, I like you speech but you are wrong in at least one aspect of what you say. You explain that this shift to Marxism is not via a mode of centralisation but instead it is done through "decentralisation", this on the surface sounds right but in the deeper dive into it you realise this is not the case. Yes, the groups causing chaos in these 150 cities are local in nature and thus appear to be unconnected or disconnected to the next city, it appears that each group is acting alone and autonomously but this is a smoke screen. The men responsible for this chaos, rioting and violence is very much coordinated and controlled by a centralised body. The patron of this body is none other than George Soros and his "Open Societies" networks. It is with his money laundered through these societies that he is accomplishing this chaos. There is also help from China so it seems.

Good, clear, gifted speaker. Wanted to like his content. Academically stilted, rather weak foray into complexities such as Marxism, he delivers a critique that is simplistic and "synthetic". It is so frustrating to see pontification in a vacuum, especially with academics who think they are cute, whether in a conservative (like here) or liberal think tank setting. There can be no learning without someone in direct opposition lecturing just before or after him and then having a panel session likewise divided by people on either side of the issue. Imagine hearing a fanatic Israeli side of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict without hearing a rabid Palestinian perspective!! - you basically learn nothing, so this is empty education. The real education starts when you have to accommodate different views to come to common solutions to a problem. If Christopher knew he would have to debate, and had to actually contribute to resolving the "debate", he would have had a much different presentation, as ideas such as those at 3:28-4:44 and 11-11:30, would be demolished. In his very useful parent's guide for discussion of CRT in the classroom, he understood he had to come down a few notches, because how it concerns the need of parents with diverse viewpoints to deliberate over content in their child's education. It is a quite a useful guide for discussion - most liberals will find little to squabble with here (i.e, lacking the hubris of his lecture). His lecture however smacks of what he is castigating, a synthetic revolutionary, gaining stature and prestige through fallacious means and sowing further division. christopherrufo.com/resource/a-parents-guide-to-radical-gender-theory/

[@jennylambert4114]

The fundamental error of Marxism is the belief that dveloppment is the result of conflict. Therefore provoking conflict of opposing forces is an existentiel matter for Marxism. However, the opposite is true when we observe the conditions in which positive développement occurs. What we find is the harmonious relationship of give and take between complimentary forces centred of an objective for the common good. This is the principle of existence, which can be observed and verified in nature and human activity. Experts should spend some time exploring this theory of the resulting 4 position foundation.

[@scotthanson3141]

I would argue the error is that government bureaucrats are capable of managing economic supply and demand and innovation. The reason they need all nations on board is so no capitalist nation would embarrass the Marxist nations.

Class struggle is the motive force of history. CRT is the invention of demoralized Black Bourgeois professors who have no confidence in the working class.

Marx set no timetable. Rather he pointed at the problems capitalism has and why it must be replaced by the working class. Since Marx's time we've built mass trade unions, workers political parties and since 1917 we've held state power somewhere in the world. The working class has only become larger in all nations.
