00:15:19.900I want you to think how we organize plants and animals when we study them.
00:15:24.460They're species, but above species, they're the genus of the animals.
00:15:28.560So you think like the cats, all the cats, but you have tigers, you have lions, you have house cats, you have whatever, leopards, many different kinds of cats.
00:15:38.860If we think of Marxism as a genus of ideological thought, then classical economic Marxism is a species.
00:15:49.000Radical feminism is a species in this same genus.
00:15:53.440Critical race theory is a genus, or sorry, a species in this genus.0.77
00:15:58.560So queer theory is a species in this genus. Postcolonial theory that's plaguing Europe is0.95
00:16:06.160a species in this genus. And they have something that binds them together called intersectionality
00:16:12.020that makes them treated as if they are all one thing. But the logic is Marxist. And I want to
00:16:17.420convince you of that because Marx had a very simple proposition, but we get lost. We think
00:16:22.980that Marx was talking about economics because he often talked about economics. He wrote a book
00:16:28.720called Capital. It's a very famous book. And we think, well, this is about economic theory,
00:16:33.960but this isn't true. It's only true on the surface. If we go below the surface,
00:16:40.400what Marx was talking about was something different. We know what Marx's hypothesis was,
00:16:45.300was that we must seize the means of production if we're going to bring socialism to the nations,
00:16:50.620to the world. We have to seize the means of production. So we have to ask, what does he
00:16:56.320mean? And if we think that it's about capital, then we miss what he means. If you think it's
00:17:01.720about the means of production in the factory with a hammer, and the means of production in the field
00:17:06.060with a sickle, then you miss what it means. Because Marx explained what makes human beings
00:17:12.220special in his earlier writings. And what makes human beings special is that man is a being that
00:17:19.360is incomplete and knows that he is incomplete. He is a man whose true nature has been forgotten to
00:17:25.360him, which is social being. He is a socialist at heart who doesn't realize it. And the reason he
00:17:33.420doesn't realize it is because of the economic conditions operating as a means of construction
00:17:38.200or production, not just of the economy, but of him, but of man, of society, and particularly
00:17:46.920of history. Marx said that he had the first scientific study of history. How is history
00:17:52.660produced? By man, doing man's activity. And man's key activity was economic activity,
00:17:57.440as he saw it. And so economic production doesn't just produce the goods and services of the
00:18:04.320economy, it produces society itself. And society, in turn, produces man. He called this the
00:18:10.860inversion of praxis. And so when he says we must seize the means of production, and he's talking
00:18:18.020about factories and fields, he's actually talking about how we construct who we are as human beings
00:18:23.080so that we might complete ourselves, so that we might complete history. And at the end of history,
00:18:29.220mankind will remember that he is a social being, and we will have a socialist society,
00:18:34.960A perfect communism that transcends private property, is how he put it.
00:18:40.300He said, in fact, that communism is the transcendence of private property as human self-estrangement.
00:18:47.040That's a quote from the Economic Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844.
00:18:52.800So Marx was interested in controlling, or understanding and controlling, how man produces himself.
00:19:01.000He writes about this exclusively in the 1840s.
00:19:04.960very deeply. How do we do this? And he looks at the economic conditions and he says, this is
00:19:09.960where it is. And that's why we get economic Marxism. And that's why we think Marx was an
00:19:13.620economist. But Marx was never an economist. He was a theologian. He wanted to produce a religion
00:19:20.140for mankind that would supersede all of the religions of mankind and bring him back to his0.96
00:19:25.060true social nature. And this is the true fact of Marx. And what the goal was, like I said,0.86
00:19:30.520is to complete man. So what he said is, well, how are we building man currently? All of his
00:19:34.900economic analysis is about how are we building man at present through what he called material
00:19:40.900determinism. And he said, well, what we have is a special form of private property in our society.
00:19:47.680Our society is organized around private property. And so all of our thoughts organize around private
00:19:52.680property. In other words, there's a special kind of property that the bourgeois elite class has
00:19:59.240access to, and then they organize society to exclude everybody else from access to that
00:20:05.180property through exploitation, through alienation, through estrangement, through oppression.
00:20:11.600And so what Karl Marx was proposing is that economics becomes a vehicle to separate society
00:20:17.920into a bourgeois class that has access to a special form of property. The people who have
00:20:23.100access wish to retain that, so they oppress people and keep other people out of that special form of
00:20:28.840property. They erect a system of classism to do that. It's enforced by an ideology called
00:20:35.100capitalism that believes that this is the right way to engage in the world. And what we have to
00:20:40.820do is awaken the underclass, the proletariat, to the real conditions and the fact that they are0.98
00:20:46.100historical agents of change and bring them to do a revolution and transform society so that we would
00:20:53.620have equity or socialism, whichever word you want. They have the same definition.
00:21:00.520Now, let's say that we step out. We step back from this species, this economic species,
00:21:06.980homo economicus, and we step back to the genus, and we look at this idea, a special form of0.98
00:21:12.900property that segregates society into people who have, the bourgeois and the people who do not have,
00:21:18.740who are in class conflict with an ideology that keeps this in place. And the Lunder class must0.95
00:21:23.580awaken with consciousness to fight back and to seize the means of production of that form of0.95
00:21:29.220deterministic property and now we say change out class put in race and watch we get critical race
00:21:37.120theory falls out of the hat just like that very simple in 1993 cheryl harris wrote a long article
00:21:45.180for the harvard law review called whiteness's property okay this is this is guys and i see all
00:21:51.280the comments in here and i feel as though i'm speaking to a class of children right now well
00:21:58.080you know how the teacher used to roll in the tv and they'd want to play a movie for you and then
00:22:01.920there'd be some people whispering in the background passing notes guys this is a very serious topic
00:22:10.400this is a video that you can play for people who are not understanding what's going on in
00:22:15.360the world around us all right now it's 28 minutes and like i said at the beginning this is going to
00:22:24.320be a special type of show we all need to pay attention to this it's very important it involves
00:22:33.080you know if you're mad about your kid's school trying to cancel mother's day he's going to
00:22:40.480explain why this is going on right now so please please it's important to me it's important to all
00:22:48.900of us that we all pay attention to the rest of this she explained that whiteness or white privilege
00:22:55.780constitutes a kind of cultural private property she says it must be abolished in order to have
00:23:01.980racial justice just like Karl Marx said that in the communist manifesto he wrote communism can
00:23:07.540be summarized in a single sentence, the abolition of private property. Well, this is why critical
00:23:12.340race theory calls to abolish whiteness, because whiteness is a form of private property. People0.62
00:23:18.220who have access to this property are whites or white adjacent, or they act white. These are words0.54
00:23:25.600out of the American lexicon that they've used to describe how people gain access to the private
00:23:31.840property. People without that are people of color, and they are oppressed by systemic racism,
00:23:37.280Systemic racism is enforced by an ideology of white supremacy instead of capitalism.
00:23:42.520If you think of whiteness as a form of cultural capital, white supremacy as they define it is identical to capitalism.0.58
00:23:49.720It's the belief, it's not believing that white people are superior.
00:23:53.060It's believing that white people have access to the control of society and should maintain that, even if you don't actually believe that.
00:24:00.220If you merely support that, you have adopted the ideology of white supremacy into your mind.0.55
00:24:08.500And so you have the exact same system.0.59
00:24:11.660And the goal is to awaken a racial consciousness in people so that they will band together as a class and seize the means of cultural production so that white cultural production is no longer the dominant mode.0.63
00:30:10.000So I developed the critical theory because it is not possible to articulate the vision
00:30:14.520of a good society on the terms of the existing society.
00:30:18.040So critical Marxism criticizes the entirety of the existing society. Everything is somehow needing to be subjected to Marxist conflict analysis. But how is that to be done?
00:30:32.100They sought an answer through the middle part of the 20th century, and World War II breaks out.
00:30:38.700The Frankfurt School comes to America, which in this metaphor is the Wuhan Institute of Virology,0.60
00:30:44.080because gain of function began to happen on the Marxist virus very quickly in America.0.72
00:30:49.860And American universities adopted these professors from Germany.
00:30:53.760And Herbert Marcuse, writing in the 1960s, said extremely clearly, this writing in 1969,
00:30:59.840not only did he say capitalism delivers the goods, gives people a good life, makes them wealthy and
00:31:06.980comfortable and happy, he also said that the working class is no longer going to be the base
00:31:12.140of the revolution because of these things. In other words, we don't have to be responsible
00:31:16.740to the working class anymore, which opens up the ability for Marxists who are seeking power to make
00:31:22.060friends with the corporations. The bosses are no longer the enemy, they're an opportunity
00:31:26.980because the working class is irrelevant he said the energy is somewhere else1.00
00:31:31.580he said it's in the racial minorities the sexual minorities the feminists the outsiders
00:31:37.280that's who he said have the energy for a marxist revolution in the west
00:31:42.060not the working class and so marxism was able to evolve to abandon the working class and so what
00:31:49.300did they do well all they had studied for 30 years was what they called the culture industry
00:31:53.940an industry that commodifies and packages culture and sells it back to people
00:31:59.620so supposedly stripped of what it actually is empty abstract now and so what of course did
00:32:06.560they do they seize the means of production of the culture industry because that's what they do
00:32:10.700and so they started to transform the culture industry to sell racial sexual gender sexuality
00:32:19.300based agitprop as though that were genuine culture. And so we get concepts like cultural
00:32:27.080appropriation. We get concepts like cultural relevance, cultural this, cultural that,
00:32:33.740cultural everything. And it's all provided in pastiche. It's all provided as a mockery
00:32:40.480of what's really going on. And this evolved in America's highly racialized context
00:32:48.580And we ended up with woke, a form of identity-based Marxism, a constellation of Marxist species that all work with the same operating premise but locate themselves in different, and I'll use the German term here for this, folk.
00:42:25.120If you want to know what the future of Europe and America
00:42:27.740and the Five Eyes or whatever the country's,0.95
00:42:31.000It's China. That's the model. So we have to fight back against woke. But to fight back against woke, we have to understand it. And I will close by restating my thesis. Woke is Marxism evolved to take on the West. And it's been very successful so far because we haven't known our enemy. We cannot name our enemy. And I've come here to name our enemy. So thank you for your time and attention and letting me do that.0.95
00:42:53.640hey guys that's dr james lindsey you can find him on twitter at conceptual james if you are on
00:43:02.560twitter follow him at conceptual james the video exists on his page there and i will be posting
00:43:10.120this on facebook after the show is over tonight so i'm just going to leave that up for now 28 minutes
00:43:15.720so did you learn anything from that i mean i did i went yeah okay this is exactly what i have been
00:43:25.120saying but i couldn't quite piece piece it all together up until seeing this video marxism
00:43:32.100we're sorry woke is marxism evolved to take out the west and the west means europe
00:50:51.140Or misinformation and disinformation through various propaganda tools.
00:50:56.240So what we have here is a hostile foreign state actor, on the one hand, actively instrumentalizing communities here for its political purpose.
00:51:05.360And on the other hand, a state actor that is doing so to advance interests that run fundamentally counter to the democratic values in Canada, including those of freedom of expression.
00:51:23.040That's where the work that we're doing to consult with Canadians and make sure that as we move forward with more tools to keep us safer from interference, we are not adding to the pressures and the unacceptable challenges already faced by diaspora communities.1.00
00:51:43.380This guy should just shut up. I believe, and this is what I was saying at the beginning of the show, that China's working both sides of the street here.0.99
00:51:51.200Are they a member of the BRICS? Absolutely, they're a member of the BRICS. They want a new fiat currency for the world, and they want it to be their own. They're working with Russia on this, and India on this, South Africa, Brazil, and other nations wanting to join that group now. They want to be the new United States dollar.
00:52:08.640so de-dollarization de-dollarization is happening in the world right now how would china make this0.56
00:52:16.760happen unless somehow miraculously the united states became weaker how do you take a country
00:52:25.060apart and make them weaker without actually going to war you take them apart from the inside and so
00:52:32.160the chinese in my opinion are working with the world economic forum the world health organization
00:52:38.240the united nations and all of the large corporate entities that exist in america and worldwide for
00:52:44.720that matter to make this happen that's what's going on now there are other elements in play
00:52:51.220here obviously what i just told you is a very very simple explanation and i'll sit down and
00:52:57.380try and piece the pieces together again at some point in the next day or two but china
00:53:03.080is having their cake and eating it too right now they influence canada and the united states0.74
00:53:10.340like there is no tomorrow look at this china now this is i understand from left-wing corporate0.89
00:53:15.220media but nonetheless china working to get canadians at each other's throats from some0.79
00:53:23.480researcher the managing director of a non-profit that tracks chinese attempts to influence
00:53:29.820democracies around the world says beijing wants to sow discord in western countries david salvo
00:53:35.860says the alliance for securing democracy has been mapping and cataloging russian and chinese
00:53:40.440interference since 2000 salvo was speaking i don't know about russian i think russian is is a myth
00:53:46.060like they may be trying every now and again but it's china china china china china china is the
00:53:54.600big threat here russia is not a big threat not even a little bit compared to china0.54
00:53:59.740salvo was speaking to the procedure of house affairs committee which is studying foreign
00:54:04.900interference in response to allegations that china tried to meddle in the last two federal
00:54:09.840elections he says his group's work also tracks incidents in canada and that the tactics also
00:54:15.540include targeting think tanks and student associations to shape discourse or promote
00:54:20.300censorship the committee also heard from former conservative member of parliament kenny chu who
00:54:25.120has previously claimed he was the target of a misinformation campaign on Chinese language
00:54:30.280social media during the 2021 election.
00:54:33.080Chu told the committee he did not experience foreign interference in either of the 2015
00:54:37.320or 2019 elections, but the most recent vote was different.
00:54:41.380He says the level of organization he witnessed leads him to believe he was the target of
