The Midwestern Marxists: Debunking Lyin' James Lindsay
https://www.youtube.com/live/-jTAL29w5-o
"Carlos, Eddie, and Noah explain how, contrary to the Olympian effort of Lyin' James Lindsay to twist basic facts into complicated pretzels, modern bourgeois ideology is not, in fact, Marxism, shocking no one."
"Whether it's through explicit racist false consciousness or through woke false consciousness, it all serves to divide the people." - Carlos L. Garrido
James Lindsay's tactics:
1. Make up a bunch of crazy stuff about Marxism
2. Cherry pick a few quotes and throw them out of context
3. Criticize what you made up - tell everyone that Marxism is Wokeism and call Queer Theory "Marxism"
4. Label anything you don't like as "cultural Marxism"
Main points from Dr. Garrido's previous talks:
🟥Marxism is anti POMO
🟥Marxism and Post Modernism are antithetical
🟥Foucault stands in the way of a real structural analysis
🟥 Socialism is not simply redistributing all resources so that everyone is equal
🟥Queer Theory was created to destroy any movement that was truly radical or revolutionary
🟥A materialist understanding of human nature recognizes that there is no ‘gender identity’ separate the our physical body
🟥 An individuals’ gender consciousness and his physical selves must be seen as a totality
🟥Marxism particular is a universal particular - a common understanding of universal humanity
🟥 Wokeism is a complete divorce of the particular from the universal. The idea of universality is completely
destroyed in favor of shear tribalism
🟥Marxism came from the Enlightenment. It is a belief in human capability to understand the world
🟥Marxism came from the Enlightenment. It is a belief in human capability to understand the world.
🟥Queer Theory is a turn away from reason, a fetishization an ideology where reason isn't universally accepted.
🟥 Queer Theory is rooted in Nazi philosophers and anti-enlightenment thinkers. Marxism is the complete opposite of that
🟥Wokeism is enforced from the top down in order to maintain the Capitalist mode of production
🟥The CIA is pushing Wokeism. The CIA does not promote Marxism.
🟥Wokeism began in Corporate Boardrooms
🟥The Frankfort school is fake Marxism
🟥The Frankfort School and the cultural Marxists became wokeism - from the beginning that was a bourgeois project
🟥Ford foundation and Rockefeller foundation are spreading Wokeism word of Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer
🟥Intersectionality is a bourgeois theory and not a Marxist one. Intersectionality considers all forms of
oppression cut off from each other. Marxism has a deeper material view
🟥The internal logic of Marxism and Intersectionality are inconsistent
🟥 Intersectionality is bourgeois. It doesn't challenge Capital
🟥 CRT isn't Marxism. CRT is antagonistic to Marxism. Once you stop seeing class as the primary contradiction in society, it's no longer Marxism.
🟥Marxism already addresses the struggle of racialized peoples as a class struggle.
🟥 Wokeism: all the hip liberal bourgeois theories: anti-racism, anti-sexism and all these pseudo-progressive ideologies that are used to proliferate the interests of Capitalism and Imperialism
🟥Right wing men distort Marxism out of a fear that people might look into Marxism and accept it
