If you want to understand the present moment, especially how similar Wokeness seems to Mao’s Cultural Revolution, you have to understand the Italian communist Antonio Gramsci. Gramsci wrote a series of essays and books while imprisoned by the Italian fascists in the 1920s and 1930s that are referred to as his Prison Notebooks. These are the birthplace of Cultural Marxism, which James Lindsay argues has evolved into “Identity Marxism” since. Once you understand Gramsci, you can easily understand what is going on with our society at present and understand more clearly than ever why it must be resisted.
Though he didn’t coin the term, the idea fellow communist Rudi Dutschke would name “the long march through the institutions” in 1967 is ultimately Gramsci’s roadmap to getting communism to take hold in the West. Gramsci identifies that the “cultural hegemony” of Western cultures prevented communism from having any chance of taking root, so he recommended a strategy that seeks to tear apart and capture major cultural institutions, including religion, family, education, media, and law. Mao understood this clearly and used it to devastating effect. The same thing is happening throughout the West today. Join James Lindsay as he explains the thought and relevance of Antonio Gramsci in today’s Woke movement, which he aptly brands “Leninism 4.0.”

Wind back your timeline to the 1920s. After the consolidation of Russia by the (Jewish) Bolsheviks into the Soviet Union, plans were made and implemented to infiltrate US institutions. When FDR was elected in 1932, and took the Oath in 1933, a very large portion of his cabinet were Communist sympathizers and many were Soviet agents. Check out names such as Harry Hopkins, Alger Hiss, William Dodd, Harry Dexter White, just to name a few. They populated the bureaucracy with their people, which begat more hiring of leftists or useful idiots. This took place in all American institutions. The press, public education from kindergarten up through university, and the Catholic Church were top targets.
Read the Venona Papers, and listen to the testimony of Bella Dodd before HUAC in 1952, and you begin to realize the scope of the problem and how Marxist/Communist ideology is dug in tighter than a tick in the populace of the former Republic of the US today. It is endemic, and is going to be a painful, possibly terminal, operation to remove it.

People really need to understand and accept the evidence that Bolshevism, Marxism, and Communism came out of New York.
I recommend reading World Hoax, a very old book by Ernest Elmhurst proving all this is a jewish construct.
Here’s where you can download the pdf.

Hitler was financed by the same people. I think of Marxism as a Jewish crusade against Christianity. I told a Jewish friend of mine that his people were a people in rebellion against God, and had been so since Christ’s crucifixion.

You didn’t sell this video much NC but with about 5 minutes left, I can honestly say it is one of the most important pieces of information I have come across. Damn every fucking cud chewer should be made to watch this by themselves with no distractions, and yes there will be a test. If you don’t get it after watching this, you really are part of the problem.
I find it interesting that in 20s and 30s China, you had “Han Privilege”. I have no idea what Han Chinese are but am guessing it is an ethnicity of sorts. It seems since the 1900’s every major large scale atrocity can be attached to a grievance industry of some kind. I suspect it goes back before Marx and Gramsci. This socio-economic platform they want to institute defies Natural Law/God/Light or whatever you want to call it. It’s a complete affront to critical thinking and common sense but that’s exactly it’s purpose.
In a best case scenario of societal collapse and we do fall into small cells/communities as talked about not sure how long we can really last. Some no doubt will but not enough to stave off the next big Centralized Authority (CCP comes to mind). So perhaps the new platform will be exactly what we need to reach the masses. Especially the people who protect the oligarchy and political scum responsible for this facade against their fellow Americans. Great video thanks for posting.

The Han would go on to live in Hong Kong and Taiwan. I know several. Interesting how a Maoist insurgency there uses the same language of a Maoist insurgency here.

DJT’s kids tried buying up several social media companies of the years. Asking for ridiculously selfish portions of control in the companies just to give DJT exclusive authorship on the site. It sounds like a clear cut case of “Capture and Kill” to me. Any of these sites, no matter what they say, will be full of disinformation operations.
