00:14:16.780Hey, I'm not going to sit here and say you're wrong.
00:14:19.400but the fact of the matter is that he is calling out trudeau and his minions as marxists
00:14:26.200in a video he didn't know was being recorded and didn't know was going to be released which was
00:14:33.620used by the marxists thinking that they have oh look he's calling his names now
00:14:38.620it backfired on that big time is what i'm saying but let's get back to this
00:14:42.180well they're both marxists going door to door in this video a citizen appears to be criticizing
00:14:49.280Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his father Pierre to opposition leader Pierre Polyev,
00:14:54.920in which the Tory responds back by calling both men a Marxist.
00:14:58.920The viral video has sparked many comments online, including from Liberal MP Mark...
00:15:03.500Homer Simpson says, say what you will about our political leaders,
00:15:07.400but to refer to any Canadian Prime Minister as a Marxist not only shows a massive misunderstanding of the term,
00:15:13.820no it doesn't, but indeed is an insult to all those who have been subject to the political ideology
00:15:19.260Now, I want to be absolutely clear here.
00:15:22.940Both Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh, when Fidel Castro died, put out tweets that suggested that Fidel Castro was a revolutionary and a great man.
00:15:33.880He was a Marxist, totalitarian dictator who killed, the latest count, 11,000 of his own people.
00:30:39.620Or you could be written up as a denialist for citing the rare instances of students
00:30:43.540who had positive experiences at residential school, which was absolutely not the norm,
00:30:48.800it did happen something else the truth and reconciliation report does mention
00:30:53.220okay you can't even say that was far from the norm you can't say that you cannot say that
00:31:03.880because you don't know you haven't got the figures in front of you all you've got are people yelling
00:31:10.100and screaming that they were abused at residential schools but you do not hear the positive voices
00:31:16.080So how could he ever make a statement like that? Well, I agree with him in principle.0.98
00:31:22.200I don't agree with his summation at the end. It couldn't be true because he hasn't got
00:31:28.680the statistics to back it up. All right, let's get back to this here. Black Lives Matter. This
00:31:34.500is Patrice Coulor. She is one of the founders of Black Lives Matter, which was an organization
00:31:40.080that was funded publicly in the United States, but also by groups funded by George Soros.
00:31:47.500Listen to her talk in this interview about being a trained Marxist.
00:31:52.900He was concerned or is concerned that there's a lack of perhaps ideological direction in Black Lives Matter
00:32:00.560that would allow it to fizzle out, as he said, in comparison to Occupy Wall Street.
00:32:07.880As you are advanced in your own organization, as you all are headed to Cleveland to participate in this Black Lives Movement conference, how do you respond to that particular critique?
00:32:21.540Again, a loving critique from an elder of the struggle that some others share, that I've even shared as well, to be frank, is a concern about, in part because of the cooptation and the appropriation, that a more clear ideological structuring might be of some value here.
00:32:39.300But how do you respond to those kinds of, again, loving criticisms?
00:32:44.880I think that the criticism is helpful.
00:33:51.420You may not hear as much now about Black Lives Matter as you did in the fateful year 2020.
00:33:57.040But rest assured, it's still deeply affecting key aspects of our lives today.0.66
00:34:02.020The divisive critical race theory conflicts, conflicts flaring across the country are a legacy of BLM.
00:34:09.580So is the crime wave that blights our cities, as are the race conscious policies that Joe Biden is signing into law.
00:34:17.740Not bad for organizations founded by Marxists who set out explicitly to dismantle the foundations of American society.
00:34:26.200As he explains in his book, BLM, The Making of a New Marxist Revolution.
00:34:29.700um alicia garza one of the main blm founders made her goals clear in maine in 2019 when she told a
00:34:38.520group of eager new england leftists we're talking about changing how we've organized this country
00:34:44.020so that we actually can achieve the justice that we're fighting for i believe we all have work to
00:34:50.300do to keep dismantling the organizing principle of this society which creates inequities for
00:34:55.340everyone, even white people. Notice she didn't say inequalities, she said inequities, D-E-I,
00:35:02.480diversity, equity, inclusion, which is all part of the critical race theory mantra, the ideology,
00:35:08.220which is Marxist. Ripping out the foundations of American society is exactly what these
00:35:16.500indoctrinating school or those indoctrinating school children and putting American workers
00:35:21.040through re-education sessions or struggle sessions, as we saw a couple of weeks ago
00:35:25.660in that Alberta MLA's struggle session. School teachers now proudly and openly explain on social
00:35:34.720media they bring critical race theory to the classroom to challenge a broken system. Meanwhile,
00:35:39.660beleaguered employees are having to resort to lawsuits to stop their companies from trying
00:35:44.960to re-educate them through critical race theory. America proudly and rightly proclaims itself the
00:35:50.780land of the free. So how did we get here? Black Lives Matter brought us here. Every Child Matters
00:36:00.140brought us here. Critical race theory is the belief that America, Canada, pretty much any
00:36:08.700western country, is systematically racist and oppressive and has been so since its founding
00:36:14.660and that all racial disparities are the result of that. The only way to solve those problems is
00:36:19.720through re-educating people into those beliefs and through category-based redistribution which0.61
00:36:26.440will require discriminating legally against whites and men. Not for nothing is Biden now
00:36:33.420signing into law bills that openly and explicitly discriminate against whites. We've seen that in
00:36:38.160Canada also. We're still seeing it in Canada. Critical race theory founders are Marxists
00:36:42.980like Garza who also question the very foundations of the liberal order including equality theory.
00:36:49.420All right, let's take this off the screen for a second. You guys have heard me talk about Dr. James Lindsay before. Here he is discussing Marxism.
00:36:57.640The question of the whole conference, which is a three-meeting session that I was at the first one, was what is woke and what does it mean for Europe?
00:37:07.700And so I tried to give, in a sense, a genealogy of woke.
00:37:12.100And actually, a taxonomy is more accurate.
00:37:14.680I started off by saying, well, I think that woke is, in fact, Marxism that's evolved to attack the West.
00:37:20.700And the techniques it's using are reminiscent of Mao's cultural revolution.
00:37:25.080And so you can say that it's Marxist or Maoist.
00:37:27.620But then I said, we can't understand that unless we understand Marxism in a bigger way.
00:37:32.500If we focus on his economic analysis and capital, we miss the entire picture.
00:37:37.440If we take a step back and say that he outlined an entire theory of man and the world and our behavior in it and the meaning of life and purpose, telos for our being, which is to transform the world into the socialist utopia, to advance history to its intended end.
00:37:53.880then you can see that the particular mode of analysis becomes fungible.
00:37:59.520If it's economic analysis for Marx, then you get classical Marxism.
00:38:03.940If it's race analysis for the critical race theorists, it's almost—you have to massage around the edges,
00:38:09.020but it's almost the exact same architecture.
00:38:10.560Well, that's certainly what it seemed to me to be.
00:38:12.700One of the things that's been disturbing, I suppose, on the gaslighting front is
00:38:17.040whenever I draw a relationship between postmodernism and neo-Marxism,
00:38:21.980first of all, people say two things that I don't know what I'm talking about, which, by the way,
00:38:26.100is rarely the case. And second, that, you know, that's a conspiratorial misreading of the
00:38:31.920relationship, that there's nothing, that most postmodernism has nothing to do with Marxism.
00:38:36.060And, you know, I've taken that criticism seriously, because it happens a lot. I think, well,
00:38:40.740you know, is there some manner in which I have this wrong? And then I go back as much as I can
00:38:45.560to the source documents, including Foucault, and I think, and Derrida, and I think, well,
00:38:50.680they said they were Marxists. That seems like, you know, proof. And the entire intellectual
00:38:57.480milieu at that time in France was Marxist, including people who should have known better
00:39:01.860like Jean-Paul Sartre. So, it's like that was the water in which those particular fish swam.
00:39:09.120And the postmodernists, when they themselves say that their, what would you say, that their
00:39:16.900intellectual effort is tending in the Marxist direction or is an extension of Marxism,
00:39:21.900I'm pretty much inclined to believe them. And so, I don't understand how this notion that those two
00:39:28.380concepts are separate has come about. Do you have any idea about that?
00:39:35.520I do. I've thought tremendously on this question, and I believe I have an answer.
00:39:41.140And kind of like yourself, if I open my mouth, usually I've thought about something before I
00:39:44.960spout off. In this case, it's the nature of the way these theories evolve. They evolve through what
00:39:52.320technically is called dialectical critique. Each descendant theory, say if we use Marxism
00:39:58.080as the common ancestor, if you will, and that's what I did, by the way, in the EU, as I said,
00:40:02.800it's think of Marxism as a genus, and then you have all these species. Well, postmodernism is
00:40:08.160a species, but they evolve through dialectical critique. For each new derivative that comes
00:40:13.760out say postmodernism they have to create themselves by giving a critique of the thing
00:40:20.400that they were before so they start by saying here's where marxism is wrong and academics
00:40:26.160hyper focus on these distinctions and they say look i see they said that's what you think they
00:40:30.800say just like you say well they say that they're marxists that looks like proof they say well they
00:40:35.360said we're criticizing marx so that's proof that they're different and the neo-marxists are no
00:40:40.240exception. And you'll find literal Marxists today. So you think it's narcissism of small differences,
00:40:44.720to use the Freudian term. I do. I do. Yeah. So there's a level of analysis at which these,
00:40:48.800I think your genus and species metaphor is a good one. So there's a level of analysis at which these
00:40:55.600are all variations on a theme. And there's another level of analysis where, well, no,
00:40:59.600they're distinctly different, which is exactly what does happen in academic micro arguments.
00:41:04.880Right. So you think part of that's, well, I think part of it's just the attempt to sow
00:41:08.160confusion as well. Oh, probably. So, or, and then also ignorance on the part of the critics,
00:41:13.040because they just don't know enough about what they're talking about to even know that there's
00:41:16.200a relationship between postmodernism and new Marxism and Marxism. I guess the other issue
00:41:21.220too, is that in principle, the postmodernists were skeptical of metanarratives. And it does seem
00:41:30.560not unreasonable to point out that Marxism is a grand metanarrative. And so if you're skeptical
00:41:36.120about metanarratives, you know, you might start out by being skeptical about Marxism. And if you
00:41:40.980just focused on the postmodern critique of metanarrative, then you'd say, well, it couldn't
00:41:45.620be allied with Marxism because Marxism is a metanarrative. But my response to that would be,
00:41:50.240what makes you think that incoherence ever bothered a postmodernist? Right. In fact,
00:41:54.900they specialize in incoherence. And I think because it can sow discord and chaos most effectively.
00:42:00.980This is why this metaphor, the genus species is so important. And for me,
00:42:04.580this, you know, well, Marxism is a grand metanarrative, et cetera, this is almost like saying, imagine that the animal clade that we're talking about is something to do with cats, right?
00:42:14.420And so now we have cats, tigers, well, tigers have a tail, right? And then lions, and lions have a tail, and house cats, house cats have a tail.
00:42:23.880So cats have tails, right? Well, not bobcats, not lynxes.
00:42:26.580And so if we think of the tale as being a grand metanarrative, in fact, the broad historicism of classical Marxism, you find both neo-Marxism or critical Marxism and postmodernism are becoming skeptical of this kind of grand trajectory of history narrative that was kind of the early modern thought.
00:42:46.040And as we shift from modern thinking to postmodern thinking, away from the scientific and into
00:42:51.040the kind of blatantly mystical and romantic, which the postmodernists are wholly characterized
01:00:41.960Yeah, and he has the power to order companies like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube to boost or de-boost the algorithm to hide or promote media of his choice.
