1. Ask liberals to explain the difference between Marxism and slavery.

   Remind them that slaves have free health care.

2. Can’t read the link…so of what use is it?

   1. You can sign up with your e-mail like I just did. My parents just got a free copy of their newspaper. Lots of good stuff and they hate Chicoms just like me!

      My Dad hates them too, having been on the receiving end of some of their shrapnel on a cold February day in 1951.

      **** China.

      1. Sorry. I don’t give out my email and that’s just how I roll.
         My loss I guess.

         1. It’s a great paper.
            Make up a garbage email and…

            I subscribe so I get a paper copy that I can leave laying around.

            Canada post had people refuse to deliver it and CBC just hates it so it’s got that going for it, which is nice.

   2. That’s weird. I thought it was a garden variety web page? Anyone else having trouble?

      1. Same experience as burton, here.

      2. No problem opening it here. I don’t have a membership and didn’t have to supply any personal info. Running Brave browser with script blocking on, so I’m just getting text and embedded images.

         Stigall understands that Marxism divides people according to their economic status: the wealthy people are oppressive, and the poor people are oppressed. Similarly, CRT is the racial version of Marxism. “It’s a deconstruction. That oppressed, oppressor dynamic is exactly the same as Marxism. [CRT] is just a different angle of looking at it,” he said.

         I prefer the version that says “You’re either a loser or an a-hole because of your race, and you can’t help it.” Then asking the supporter of CRT which kind they are. If they won’t be limited to those types, then why should we?

3. Not going to work, Marxism is not as unpopular as conservatives think. And most people don’t think in dialectic, which is what that term is, you have to think about it to understanding the meaning.

   Also, having spoken with a lot of the beneficiaries of affirmative action, they don’t care if they deserve their place. All they care about it getting what they want.

   A far better term is “anti-white” which is the same term as Tucker uses. Everyone knows exactly what you mean when you say it.

   1. Here are a couple of ideas that Marx perhaps thought were the most important to erase;

      Eighth Commandment

      “Thou shall not steal.”.

      and, especially, this one;

      Tenth Commandment

      “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house; thy shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey , nor anything that is your neighbour’s”.

      Totally explains to me why Marx wanted to get rid of religion (of course, from his perspective, Judeo/Christian). If the morality inherent in the 10th Commandment tells people that respecting one’s neighbour’s property is “Good” and taking one’s neighbour’s property is “Evil”, that is something that clearly that stands in the way of your (Marx’s) vision.

      I have interesting discussions with our social network about this. Most are Catholic (I’m not, but truly have faith), so, on the surface, they agree with both the 8th and 10th Commandments. However, when I pose this in the context of voters choosing to elect politicians that will go and take their neighbour’s property for them (i.e. “re-distribution of wealth”), they are a bit set back, but somehow, ultimately, rationalize that the are okay with that. End of convo.

4. There’s a good primer on CRT from James Lindsay here.

   1. Good link, thanks.

      From the link: “We all can recognize the distinction between the claims “I am Black” and the claim “I am a person who happens to be Black.” “I am Black” takes the socially imposed identity and empowers it as an anchor of subjectivity. “I am Black” becomes not simply a statement of resistance but also a positive discourse of self-identification, intimately linked to celebratory statements like the Black nationalist “Black is beautiful.” “I am a person who happens to be Black,” on the other hand, achieves self-identification by straining for a certain universality (in effect, “I am first a person”)

      The above excerpt from the link reminded me of an interview by Nightline’s Ted Koppel and Clinton’s nominee for head of the DOJ’s Civil Right’s Division: Lani Guinier. Guineer was lamenting the lack of Black representation at the higher levels of government. Koppel rejoined “Yes, but what about Clarence Thomas?” Guinier responded by saying that Thomas didn’t qualify because he was only “descriptively black.”

      This remark, for me, represented an epiphany. The difference between Guinier and Thomas was that the former was a Black person while Thomas was a black Person. Ever since then, I differentiate between upper case Blacks and lower case blacks. The former, like Guinier, embrace blackness as an ideology although they will go great lengths to disguise this. This is how ideologues like Guinier skate around any criticism of their politics as being nothing more than overt racism.

      Of course, to this day, Guinier is still a widely respected member of the Harvard faculty.

5. Losers or Assholes theory. Based on skin colour.

   That’s probably the best way to describe it so that people understand its meaning.

   I’m drawing a blank, but the comic writer who came up with this description says that calling CRT Marxist will have little effect because so many people like Marxism or don’t understand what it means.
