How the Woke Incorporated Racism into Their Marxism
BLM, CRT and DEI Alphabet Mafia Created a New Communofascist Monster Hybrid
My three-year old piece which is still relevant now.
The Wokeism Doesn't Fight Racism. It Uses Race as a Bait for the Gullible and Utilizes it as a Powerful Weapon. But the Essence of Wokeism is truly Marxist and utterly Nihilistic
It's pretty easy to see that if you look just a little bit beyond the noble slogans and disguises of Wokeism. Let's take BLM. Those people claim that Black Lives Matter but why don't they give a shit of millions of Black Americans dying on the streets in Black-on-Black crime? Why do the Woke condemn the slavery of Black people in US which existed in the past but don't give a shit of modern Black slavery which flourishes in Africa? Why don't they give a shit of suffer of Black people in Africa overall - extreme poverty, wars, diseases there? Why don't BLM divert their millions of dollars to help Black people in Africa? I tell you why - because in all of those cases, BLM can't blame 'white supremacy' and white people in general, hence, they aren't interested in the slightest. Black suffer matters for them ONLY when it's inflicted by white people and when, hence, they can utilize it to push their 'anti-racist' agenda. Otherwise, they don't care. Again, to attack white people isn't the same as to help Black people. If you don't see the difference, you're part of the problem.
Now, let's look further at BLM activities. Why and how violence, burning, looting, vandalizing and even occasional shooting HELP Black Americans? If anything, it all harms them by destroying the neighborhoods where they live, by radicalizing them, and by creating a negative image of Black people as of violent vandals and looters. Not great certainly. So why BLM are doing it? It's again an attack on American society, not a help for Black people who are just used as a prop.
Now, let's talk of toppling monuments, it's even more interesting. First of all, I again fail to see how demolishing of old statues can alleviate the suffer of modern Black people. However, toppling monuments of Confederate generals is at least SOMEWHAT understandable. After all, Confederation was a state of slavers, and, even if I personally still disagree with removing even Confederate monuments and believe that we should remember our history with all its shameful parts as well, and that Confederation wasn't only about slavery, but about some good things too, it's again still understandable why many people might feel bad about Confederate monuments, and felt this way long before the Woke Hydra had risen in the West. But then how could you explain and justify the Woke attacks on the foundational figures of American history such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, and even Abraham Lincoln who had liberated the Black slaves actually? Assault on these figures isn't justifiable by 'anti-racism' in any ways. It's attack on American history, and this was a true target of the Woke all along. They used the race and racism just as the bait for the gullible to be able to attack otherwise impenetrable fortress of American history and culture.
But there's much more than toppling of monuments to that. The Woke want to cancel all our classics for example as 'racist and sexist' and 'upholding white supremacist patriarchy'. For example, one of American universities had removed Homer texts from its library as 'racist' already. It's all part of the Woke agenda #DisruptTexts. Again, I'm perfectly aware that our classics were children of their times and as such they shared the prejudices of that time. So it's only natural that many of them might actually be sexist or racist. However, to reduce them ONLY to that is a huge stretch, and to claim that for example Shakespearean plays are just 'handbooks to abuse women and PoCS' is entirely incorrect and even ridiculous. To deny all the good of the classics, all their deep thoughts and universal values such as kindness, courage, love, peace which are promoted there is just unacceptable. To deny their genius and to claim that for example Shakespeare and Beethoven are remembered only due to their 'whiteness and maleness' and not due to their genius is another dirty lie. Yeah, there were thousands of white males back then, I wonder why we remember only those ones and not ALL OF THEM if genius isn't a thing and it's all only about 'whiteness and maleness'? The Woke are really crazy lunatics, I have no other words in my vocabulary to describe that. The Woke deny that talent and genius even exist, as true collective Marxists who believe in average gray mass as opposed to individual geniuses. I wonder what talented Black people have to say to that but never mind.
There's another very interesting issue. Let's say that our classics is over represented only with white authors and musicians - though if we live in white civilization, it looks quite natural to me and I would think it weird if we studied mostly African or Chinese authors. It's just more relevant for Africans and Chinese to study THEIR past, it's more relevant for us to study ours. However, let's give a little concession to the Woke to prove that they don't in truth care of other cultures and races even there. Because if Woke really don't like the 'white dominance' in our classics, what would be the natural way to get rid of it? Right, add to the curriculum more of the timeless masterpieces by AUTHORS OF COLOR of all times. Thanks to history, there's plenty of those. Why not to read Rubaiyat of Persian poet Omar Khayyam in addition to our classic poems? Why not to read Chinese Taoist philosophy (as a Taoist follower myself, I would certainly approve of that!) of Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu in addition to Greek one of Aristotle and Plato? Why not to read Japanese Samurai moral code Bushido? Why not to study the texts of Islamic Sufi mystic Rumi? (I'm appalled by extremism of Islam usually but I really love Sufism with its mysticism though). There are plenty of options from other cultures to enrich our curriculum and erudition.
But what the Woke propose to do instead? To cancel all our classic texts and to replace it...nope, not with Rubaiyat or Buddhist texts but with the Woke purely political and ideological crap on gender, race and so on written by modern Woke ideologues who aren't geniuses but just Marxist zombies. What this crap would teach our kids, to hate themselves for being born white? Or to 'disrupt and cancel everything'? I shudder even to think what happens if our classics is replaced with the Woke crap. However, this example shows one more time that the Woke don't really give a shit of other cultures and races (otherwise they would have included their writings in our curriculum!) but merely of 'disrupting' our culture and pushing their own ideological crap.
Same actually goes to the movies. If the Woke were really concerned with under representation of PoCs in our movie industry (though I don't believe it since again it's natural to see more white actors in white majority society - it's statistics and not 'oppression' - but let's make one more compromise to the Woke for argument sake), they would have been making movies about for example African or Chinese cultures to highlight many interesting moments there. Instead, the Woke keep making period movies about European history but make Black actors play historically white figures (like Anne Boleyn most notably) which is historically non accurate, morally wrong and literally a blackface. Again, the Woke want to disrupt our history, not to represent other cultures' history.
The Woke attack not only our history and classics, they attack our science as well. They claim that our math upholds 'white supremacy' (which is utterly ridiculous since many cultures historically contributed to its development) and go as far as to doubt the math objectivity and claim that 2+2 might actually equal 5 in 'some other non-European centric cultures' (however, if you ask the Woke in WHICH culture actually 2+2=5 ever, they won't be able to answer you).
The Woke attack our democracy and our freedoms and our major institutions. The Woke claim that freedom of speech is a tool to uphold white supremacy and to oppress and insult PocS and other 'marginalized minorities'. The Woke claim that our democracy is not equal opportunities for everyone but an 'oppression system' to keep the people of color down all the time (Asians and Jews are more successful in that system than whites and hence fell from the Woke grace and deemed 'privileged' as well, and attacked as much as whites by the Woke).
What's about the whole Defund the Police toxic agenda? To claim that all our police is essentially racist based on few extreme examples is a huge stretch and big generalization from few examples. Yet it's what the Woke are doing. Why? Well because police again is one of the major pillars of our social and governmental institutions. If the Woke want to upend our system, police is a good place to start with for them. The Woke 'systemic racism' concept which is very vague and impossible to prove with data allows the Woke to attack literally every institution or organization by accusing it of 'systemic racism', and providing just couple of extreme examples to prove their accusation. And someone's reputation is forever stained, just great. It's very dirty and dangerous technique which allows the Woke to accuse and condemn innocent based on few extreme examples and vague concepts.
So, what are the Woke main goals then? First, nihilistic goal - to destroy and disrupt literally EVERYTHING and to perform a literal cultural revolution similar to what Bolsheviks had done in Russia and Maoists in China one century ago. I don't think I need to tell you how bad and dangerous this is. And I clearly see Bolshevik agenda in the Woke one - just replace words 'race and gender' in Wokeism with 'class' and you get pure and accurate Marxism. And yeah this is second main Woke goal - to rebrand and revive Marxism in new disguise of race and gender. Old Marxism had failed miserably along with USSR. The collapse of USSR came as a huge tragedy to all the Marxists worldwide. So they began to work on rebranding their ideology and to make another power grip in new disguise. Now, the time for it had come.
Collapse of USSR also explains why the Woke were able to gain such a tremendous power in US. When USSR existed, FBI and CIA paid close attention to all Communist organizations and individuals in the country, and monitored all Marxist and Communist activities very closely. So, the rise of Woke Hydra would have been impossible in US when USSR existed. However, when USSR collapsed, US had relaxed too early and thought they had won Communist monster already and there's no need to worry anymore. So FBI and CIA dropped its guard on Communist organizations inside the country, and Marxist agenda flourished underground unchecked. Marxist professors rebranded their Communist and nihilist agenda with race and gender, embroidered it with identity politics and were able to push it along. The Marxist professors had silently and secretly overtaken all American universities, taking all key positions of power there and chasing any conservative or liberal professors away. From academia, brainwashed by Marxist ideology students went to work to media and major corporations to spread this toxic ideology even further. And finally, when it was spread far and wide already, Democratic political establishment and major entertainment industries had picked up the line as well, and Marxist overtake of American society was complete.
Now, the dead Communist monster had risen again. The Woke Hydra had come in place of old USSR Leviathan. The world is doomed yet again. I wonder is it even possible to kill the Marxist monster for good once and for all or would it keep rising in new disguises and threaten all our order, all our freedom, human rights, culture and civilization yet again.
I don’t know if Marxism can ever truly be destroyed…it’s like anything bad or negative…we cannot have the positive without the negative (yin and yang) or we REALLY would be just a bunch of grey zombies and all the same basically…there wouldn’t be the Greats of music and writing etc…we would all just be mediocre…I guess we always have to have battles of good and evil…it seems Nature in general is always having this kind of battle in and of itself and we are all a part of nature! 🤷♀️
Great as usual Alex…making me use MY grey matter!! 😘 Now I need a rest from all this thinking 😁
