Karlyn Borysenko Exposes How the Far-Left Uses Capitalism as Their Target for Revolution
Karlyn Borysenko reveals what four years of undercover work inside far-left networks taught her about their true goals. Drawing from thousands of hours of socialist training sessions, conferences, and organizing meetings, she explains how activists use attacks on capitalism to dismantle everything from the nuclear family to parental rights. This isn't about economics alone, it's about transforming American culture through schools, libraries, and institutions. Borysenko demonstrates how terms like "whiteness," "gender," and "racism" all connect back to one target: private property ownership. She shares recordings from inside the Socialism Conference, teacher union organizing calls, and taxpayer-funded university events where abolishing the family and overthrowing the government are discussed openly. For anyone confused by social justice language or wondering what activists really mean, this presentation decodes the far-left's actual beliefs and strategies.
Understanding the Far-Left Through Years of Undercover Investigation
Karlyn Borysenko brings a unique perspective to analyzing the far-left in America. As an industrial organizational psychologist turned investigative journalist, she spent over four years going undercover inside socialist networks, watching approximately 5,000 hours of far-left training sessions, conferences, and organizing meetings. Her approach differs from typical commentary because she studies actual leftist education and communication rather than relying on out-of-context clips or mainstream media coverage.
Borysenko has attended events in person, including the Collective Power Conference at Hampshire College, where she witnessed an abortion training that included worship at an actual abortion shrine. She infiltrated the 2023 Socialism Conference in Chicago, wearing a disguise and recording presentations with a USB device. She captured Emily Drabinski, then-president of the American Library Association, stating that "libraries need to be on the agenda of socialist organizing." She also recorded Seattle high school teacher Jesse Hagopian describing how teachers in Florida were secretly zooming him into classrooms to teach banned curriculum through what he called "fugitive pedagogy."
These undercover experiences revealed a level of organization and focus that most Americans never see. The far-left coordinates extensively through virtual events, making their strategies accessible to anyone willing to watch. Most of their organizing happens online, allowing them to reach more people without the costs of physical gatherings. This digital organizing creates a massive archive of their actual beliefs, tactics, and goals.
The Four Goals Driving Every Far-Left Action
According to Borysenko, every tactic employed by the far-left serves one or more of four core goals:
- Gain as much power as possible
- Destabilize the system
- Attack capitalism
- Usher in their Marxist utopia
The left gained power starting in the 1930s when the Frankfurt School intellectuals established themselves at Columbia University. They secured positions of institutional power in academia, eventually controlling most faculty positions across higher education. Unlike political power, which depends on winning elections, institutional power provides long-term control. Tenure-track faculty positions, teaching jobs, and government roles are difficult to lose, giving the left permanent influence within these institutions.
Once in power, they work to destabilize the system. They make decisions and enact policies that create chaos and dysfunction. This destabilization is intentional—they believe you cannot overthrow the current system without fully destabilizing it first. When average people experience pain from this chaos, the left exploits that pain by blaming capitalism for all problems. This leads to their ultimate goal: replacing capitalism with what they call a Marxist utopia.
Capitalism Defined: What the Left Really Means
When the far-left says "capitalism," they define it specifically as private property ownership. This differs significantly from how most Americans understand the term. They distinguish between personal property (computers, phones, cars, pets) and what they call bourgeois property—property that creates generational and privatized wealth.
The left wants to eliminate:
- Home ownership
- Land ownership
- Private businesses of any size
- Rental properties and landlords
- Parental rights over children
- Individual liberties
- Private healthcare, insurance, and doctors
- Private schooling and homeschooling
- Private energy and gas providers
- Private farms and food production
They consider parental rights a form of private property because parents can pass generational wealth to children. They want to collectivize food production, eliminate private kitchens, and have everyone eat at community canteens. These aren't exaggerations—Borysenko has video evidence of leftist trainers explicitly stating these goals.
Mary Bowman, a nursing professor at DePaul University who spoke at the Socialism Conference, stated clearly: "We cannot be free under capitalism. We cannot be free in this society as long as any person is in prison. As long as any person is denied health care for something necessary. We cannot be free until everyone is free."
Capitalism as Cultural Model: Why Everything Connects Back
The far-left views capitalism not just as an economic model but as a cultural model. This is where most people get confused. They see the left attacking "whiteness" and assume it's about race. They see attacks on gender and assume it's about sexuality. In reality, these are all attacks on different aspects of capitalism.
Capitalism is supported by cultural norms like individualism, meritocracy, work ethic, the scientific method, nuclear families, and time management. The left calls these norms "whiteness" or "white supremacy" not because they're exclusive to people with white skin, but because they uphold capitalist structures. This explains why they can say things like "black people can be white too" or describe Larry Elder as "the black face of white supremacy."
Cheryl Harris, who wrote the influential paper "Whiteness as Property" published in Harvard Law Review in 1993, stated explicitly: "Whiteness is not a skin color or even a racial type. It is a social relation constructed on exclusion, structural privilege, and its valorization." She added that "post-racial whiteness is conditionally available to persons of any racial group, even some blacks."
The famous Smithsonian document listing "aspects of white culture" included things like rugged individualism, family structure, employing the scientific method, work ethic, and time. None of these are inherently related to skin color. They're all characteristics that uphold capitalist society.
Racism and Slavery: The Connection to Private Property
The left believes capitalism created slavery because slavery involves owning people as private property. Slavery then created systemic racism, which they define as the system that upholds racism in society. When they say "systemic racism" or "institutional racism," they're not talking about skin color—they're talking about capitalism as the institution that upholds racism.
This is why they believe abolishing capitalism is the only way to eliminate racism. Angela Davis, a patron saint of the far-left, stated: "Racism cannot be separated from capitalism." A recent book presented at the 2025 Socialism Conference makes this even clearer with its title: "What is Anti-Racism and Why It Means Anti-Capitalism."
Teacher educator Dena Simmons, who was paid tens of thousands of dollars by the Cambridge, Massachusetts School District for consulting services, said in a training: "Abolition is anti-capitalist by nature. This country was built off of stolen black labor. And all those folks who are in positions of power who have that money, you got it because you stole it. Being an abolitionist is anti-capitalism because there's a connection between capitalism and slavery in this country."
Defunding Police: Managers of Private Property
The Black Lives Matter movement's primary goal was defunding and abolishing police. The left views police as managers of private property, believing American police originated as slave catchers who returned escaped slaves (private property) to their owners. They teach students that police evolved from slave masters to slave catchers to the KKK to sheriffs to modern police.
This belief drives their hatred of law enforcement and the prison system. They want to abolish all prisons and free all criminals, believing crime will largely disappear in a post-capitalist society. To them, police represent the armed protection of capitalist property relations.
Gender and the Nuclear Family: Capitalism's Reproduction Mechanism
The term "queer" doesn't mean gay or transgender to the far-left. As explained in the Discovery Channel show "The Book of Queer," queer means "whatever is at odds with the normal, the legitimate, the dominant." It's a political position against the norms that uphold capitalism.
The left believes capitalism created the social constructs of "men" and "women"—what they call the gender binary. According to their theory, capitalism created these categories by putting men in the workplace (where they access power and money) and women in the home (doing unpaid labor raising the next generation of workers).
Their primary goal is abolishing the gender binary entirely. They don't hate men or hate women specifically—they hate all gender because gender is a binary. Non-binary identities literally mean "no binary." Drag Queen Story Hour isn't about sexualizing children or creating drag queens—it's about teaching children that gender doesn't exist and is easily changed, like changing clothes.
The nuclear family is targeted because the left views it as capitalism's literal means of production. Social reproduction theory says social systems reproduce themselves until disrupted or abolished. Women have children within nuclear families, performing unpaid reproductive labor. These children become future workers under capitalism, raised with capitalist values about getting jobs and working hard.
Additionally, children are considered private property under parental rights. The left believes children should be raised collectively by the community rather than by individual parents passing down generational wealth.
Abolishing the Family: Not Hyperbole
Sophie Lewis and Amy O'Brien are prominent family abolition activists who have written multiple books on this topic. Lewis's book is titled "Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation." O'Brien wrote "Family Abolition: Capitalism and the Communizing of Care."
In a presentation, Sophie Lewis stated: "Yes, it's true what the far right says. Feminism wants to abolish the family. To hell with family values and all capitalist value for that matter. And fuck parents' rights."
Mary Bowman said at a presentation: "Destroying the nuclear family through sexual liberation and queer relationship anarchy sounds pretty great."
A Denver Communist explicitly stated in a training: "Karl Marx's goal was the replacement of capitalism by communism, not the superficial modification of capitalism. His critique of capitalism was extremely radical, covering gender and sexual relations, the relations of people to the environment, the overcoming of all forms of oppression, the radical democratization of all social relations, the abolition of all states, the elimination of private productive property, and the private ownership of children."
At a Seattle Revolutionary Socialists meeting on queer liberation, organizers discussed how "the existence and acceptance in society of queer and trans people is a threat to the social narrative that the ruling class uses to uphold the structure of the nuclear family. Abolition of the nuclear family is part of liberation for women, liberation for queer people, liberation for trans people."
Reproductive Justice and Abortion
The left's extreme position on abortion stems from viewing it as liberation from reproductive roles forced on women by capitalism within the gender binary. At the Collective Power Conference at Hampshire College, Borysenko attended an abortion training that taught self-managed abortion procedures and concluded with worship at an abortion shrine that featured a plate reading "loving yourself is the greatest revolution."
The far-left connects abortion rights directly to escaping the nuclear family structure and the gender binary. Women's ability to control reproduction means they aren't trapped in the role capitalism assigned them within the traditional family structure.
Teacher Unions and Education
Teacher unions play a major role in far-left organizing. The Mayday Strong Organization, led by the National Education Association, organizes protests nationwide. At one of their organizing calls, a speaker said: "Any semblance of transphobia, patriarchy, white supremacy, capitalism are ingredients and recipe for fascism. We cannot allow these systems of oppression to exist. They are incompatible with our visions of freedom and our visions of liberation. Our enemy is pro-war. They are pro-profit. They are anti-people and anti-planet. We must be clear. The way that we can ensure that we don't wind up in the same situation 50 years later is for us to be the ones to fundamentally transform society."
Teacher educator Jesse Hagopian described how Florida teachers were circumventing curriculum restrictions by zooming him into their classrooms to teach materials about systemic racism, giving teachers plausible deniability while delivering banned content through what he called "fugitive pedagogy" or "smuggler pedagogy."
Taxpayer-Funded Indoctrination
Borysenko has documented numerous taxpayer-funded trainings promoting far-left ideology. A federal government training in Orange County, California taught teachers that if a student writes "there are only two genders" on a chalkboard, that constitutes harassment requiring intervention.
A Washington DC mayor's office-funded training discussed "dismantling gender spaces." A California community college system conference featured presentations on "queering the nuclear family" that explicitly connected the nuclear family structure to capitalism, patriarchy, heteronormativity, and white supremacy.
The University of Colorado at Boulder hosted a conference where dissociative identity disorder (multiple personality disorder) was presented as a legitimate gender identity called "system gender." The university distanced itself from the conference only after Borysenko exposed it publicly.
The Trans School and Transforming Gender
New York City has a school exclusively for trans and non-binary students called Transformative Schools. The name is significant because when the left uses "trans," they often mean transform or transcend gender, not just transition from one gender to another. The school serves students ages 9-15 and has expanded from an after-school program with aspirations to become a full middle school.
In promotional materials, staff members describe themselves as "possibility models" for trans youth and emphasize the importance of visibility. One staff member stated: "Trans kids deserve trans schools." This represents the left's approach to abolishing gender through education—creating environments where the gender binary is completely rejected from childhood.
Parental Rights Under Attack
Attacks on parental rights stem directly from viewing children as private property. Washington state passed laws protecting trans minors from parents. An article in The Atlantic titled "Children Are Not Property" attacked the concept of parental rights. The author openly identified as a socialist at the end of the article.
The Communist Manifesto explicitly calls for eliminating the "private ownership of children." The Denver Communist stated this openly, saying Marx foresaw "the elimination of private productive property, and the private ownership of children."
Emily O'Brien and Sophie Lewis advocate for communal child-rearing rather than the "privatized model" of the nuclear family. They argue children should be raised by the entire community, eliminating the ability of parents to pass down generational wealth and capitalist values.
Intersectionality: All Roads Lead to Capitalism
The term "intersectionality" is commonly understood as referring to overlapping forms of oppression. But Borysenko argues it more accurately describes all the different ways people are oppressed by capitalism. Every issue the left champions—racism, gender, Palestine, climate change, settler colonialism—connects back to attacking capitalism from different vectors.
Racism relates to capitalism through private property ownership (slavery). Gender and patriarchy relate to capitalism through the nuclear family's role in reproducing workers. Settler colonialism relates to capitalism through stealing indigenous land and privatizing it. Palestine represents an oppressed group rising against capitalist oppressors. Climate change was caused by capitalism's profit motive. Each issue represents a different aspect of capitalism that must be attacked.
The left cannot simply use the term "capitalism" for everything because they're attacking specific aspects of the capitalist cultural model. Whiteness is one specific aspect. The gender binary is another. Settler colonialism is another. But dig into any of these issues deeply enough, and they all connect back to abolishing private property ownership.
The Core Framework
Borysenko emphasizes this framework as essential to understanding the far-left: Capitalism (defined as private property ownership) created the gender binary. The gender binary created the nuclear family. The nuclear family upholds capitalism. This circular relationship explains why attacking gender and family are central to their revolution.
Understanding this framework reveals the logic behind seemingly disconnected leftist positions. It's not random chaos or mental illness—it's a coherent ideology with clear goals and strategies. They believe capitalism created all oppression, and abolishing capitalism will solve all problems.
Liberation Through Revolution
The left uses the term "liberation" constantly. It always means liberation from capitalism. A slide from a California community college conference defined liberation as "working collectively to guarantee housing is a human right, food is a right, movement is a right, universal health care, universal child care." This means seizing all resources and property, then distributing them according to need rather than private ownership.
Mary Bowman stated: "We cannot be free until everyone is free." This means no one is free while capitalism exists. The only path to freedom, in their view, is complete abolition of the capitalist system and establishment of their Marxist utopia.
The Level of Organization
What Borysenko finds most alarming is how organized the far-left actually is. They hold countless events, trainings, and organizing meetings. They coordinate across multiple groups. They have clear goals and strategies. They're focused and disciplined in ways that don't match the stereotype of disorganized protesters.
While most anti-communists rely on out-of-context clips or surface-level analysis, the far-left is conducting extensive education within their networks. They're training thousands of activists in their ideology, tactics, and language. They're placing people in positions of institutional power across education, government, libraries, and unions.
The virtual nature of most organizing means they can coordinate nationally with minimal resources. A single training can reach hundreds or thousands of people. They record and archive their content, creating a self-replicating education system.
Why They're Allowed to Participate in Capitalism
A common criticism of socialists is that they participate in capitalism while claiming to oppose it. They buy laptops, sell books, rent homes, and engage in commerce. However, the Communist Manifesto explicitly permits this. It acknowledges that socialists live in a capitalist world and must participate in capitalism to survive. As long as they're working to overthrow the system, participating in capitalism is acceptable.
Very few of the socialists Borysenko follows own homes. Most are proud renters because they don't believe landlords should exist. They view themselves as the proletariat, not the bourgeoisie. They would never consider themselves part of the property-owning class because that contradicts their identity as revolutionaries.
Why They Won't Move to Socialist Countries
Another common question is why socialists don't move to existing socialist countries like Venezuela or Cuba. The answer is they want to enact socialism in the United States. They believe America must fall to socialism for global socialism to succeed. Since they don't believe in borders (borders protect private property), they want socialism everywhere. The United States is the primary target because it's the world's leading capitalist power.
Guns and the Left
Contrary to popular belief, the far-left is not currently focused on gun control. In fact, socialist gun clubs exist, including the Socialist Rifle Association, John Brown Gun Club, and Redneck Revolt. Leftists do own guns and train with weapons. They are preparing for violent revolution. Anyone who believes only conservatives own guns is fundamentally mistaken about the reality of far-left organizing.
What This Means for America
Borysenko believes the left is winning and that it's not even close. They control academia, dominate many unions, influence education at all levels, and have successfully pushed their ideology into corporate America, government agencies, and cultural institutions. Their decades-long march through the institutions has been remarkably successful.
Most Americans don't understand what the left actually believes because they rely on strawman arguments or surface-level analysis. The left speaks a specific language with precise meanings that differ from common understanding. Terms like "whiteness," "racism," "gender," "queer," "liberation," and "justice" all have specific definitions rooted in Marxist theory.
The left believes they're in an existential fight against capitalism, which they view as literally trying to kill them. This explains the intensity of their activism. They're not fighting for policy preferences—they're fighting for survival against what they perceive as an oppressive system that causes all human suffering.
Understanding their actual beliefs, rather than caricatures, is essential to effectively countering their influence. Calling them mentally ill or dismissing them as crazy misses the point. They have a coherent ideology, clear goals, and sophisticated strategies. They're organized, focused, and making measurable progress toward their objectives.
Borysenko's Methodology
Borysenko's approach differs from typical anti-communist commentary. She doesn't focus on dead philosophers like Marx, Engels, Hegel, or Gramsci unless absolutely necessary. While these thinkers established foundational ideas, the modern American far-left has evolved those ideas into what she calls "gain of function Marxism"—a mutated version adapted to current circumstances.
Instead of reading academic philosophy papers, she watches what the left actually teaches each other in real-world trainings. If the left isn't teaching something to their own activists, it's probably not relevant to their current strategy. This methodology reveals what they actually believe and do rather than what scholars wrote decades or centuries ago.
She studies their language, their tactics, their organizing methods, and their goals as expressed in their own words. She archives thousands of hours of their content and analyzes it systematically. This creates a more accurate picture of the real far-left than speculation based on historical texts.
Resources for Further Learning
Borysenko offers additional resources for those wanting to learn more. Her longer "How to Speak Socialist" class (4 hours) is available on-demand at her Substack (karlynborysenko.substack.com). This extended version covers additional topics like Palestine, borders, and settler colonialism in greater depth.
She streams Monday through Friday at 5 PM Eastern on YouTube, Rumble, Kick, and X. She also does "Socialism Saturday" every Saturday at 6 PM Eastern, dedicated specifically to covering the radical revolutionary far-left. These streams often feature live infiltration of leftist organizing meetings and trainings.
Her work is 100% funded by supporters through Substack memberships ($8/month or $80/year) and one-time donations through decodetheft.com/support. She's launching a nonprofit soon that will allow tax-deductible contributions.
She's also available to present this material via Zoom to local groups, Republican clubs, conservative organizations, parent groups, or any gathering interested in understanding the far-left. Those interested can reach out through her website to schedule a presentation.
Video Transcript
All right, welcome everyone. This is
Re-education, an anti-communist
introduction to the far-left. My name is
Carl Borisenko. For those of you who
might be new to me, I am an industrial
organizational psychologist who has gone
on a little bit of a journey to become
an investigative journalist and an
undercover journalist following the
radical revolutionary far-left in
America. Now, why is that important that
I'm an industrial organizational
psychologist? Well, I do think that one
of the things that I bring to the far
left that a lot of people that are
analyzing the left don't bring is I
understand how to analyze social
systems. I understand how to analyze
group dynamics. I was one of those
people that would go into organizations
and do training about corporate
communication and team building and
things like that. that I've analyzed a
lot of teams at a very high level to
understand the psychological dynamics of
the team. And so that is very well
applied to the far-left in a way that I
don't think many people are doing
because I don't look at the far left and
just go these are a crazy bunch of
cooks. I don't look at the far left and
call them mentally ill because quite
frankly they're not. I know people don't
like to hear that but that is the truth.
I don't look at the far left and
instantly scream narcissist. And by the
way, I studied narcissism in the
workplace and workplace bullying for
about 10 years. And so if anyone was
going to be screaming narcissist about
the left, it probably would be me. But
I'm not because the real far left is
actually much more complicated than
that. And the advantage of looking at
work like I'm trying to do it and
engaging in this type of analysis is
that I do tend to take a much more
nuanced approach to how I analyze the
group. And I'm doing this based on four
years, over four years now, going
undercover inside their networks, inside
their subcultures. I have watched
probably at least 5,000 hours of video
of far-left training and activism and
education and events over the last
several years. I don't work based off of
clickbait content that's taken out of
context that makes its way around the
internet or that usually makes its way
onto the news media. I work based on
what do the full training say? What does
the full scope of evidence say? I
analyze information across many
different groups on the far left. And so
I believe the analysis that I've
developed about the far left that we're
dealing with in the country right now is
unique. I think it's the ro most robust
analysis on the market. And what we're
going to be doing here today is I'm
going to be walking you through just
some of my experiences with the far
left. And I'm going to articulate to you
assuming that everyone here is kind of a
beginner. And maybe you might have some
notion that communists and socialists do
exist in America because you've seen
people on Fox News or you've seen Donald
Trump talk about it. I'm going to bring
you inside the real far left and I'm
going to show you what's actually going
on. My position on this is that I do
believe the far-left is a very big
problem. And I believe it's a bigger
problem than most people understand
because I don't think that people are
looking past the surface level of what's
going on on the far left. A lot of the
times they're not going into their
meetings. They're not listening to how
they're organizing. And when I've been
doing these things, one thing jumps out
at me every single time, which is it is
terrifying how organized they are. It is
terrifying how focused they are. It is
terrifying how many events they have,
what they're actually teaching each
other. These are things that you never
see on the mainstream media. These are
things that you never see
anti-communists actually cover. And we
go into them. I go undercover in person,
but we also do deep dives into the
far-left on my channel almost every
single day during the week. And so, I
hope this pies people's appetite for
people who are new to the far-left and
socialism. I'm going to give you a
little taste today of what you need to
know about the far left to understand
their language. And I'm going to tell
you a little bit about some of my
experiences. And just to make sure
people know my bonafides, because again,
there might be a lot of new people
watching this. I have actually gone
undercover with the far-left in person.
multiple times. I'm going to show you a
couple examples of those. The first time
I ever went undercover with the
far-left, it was at a conference called
the Collective Power Conference at
Hampshire College in Western
Massachusetts. And basically, this was a
far-left socialist reproductive justice
conference. What you're seeing here are
actually photos that I took at the
conference inside an abortion tour where
they taught me how to have a
self-managed abortion, bleed my unborn
child into a toilet with the help of an
abortion doula, and then at the end, I
got to go and worship at the actual
abortion shrine. Sometimes, you know,
you hear right-wingers talk about how
the left worships at the altar of
abortion. Well, guess what? I've
actually seen an abortion shrine. I'
I've seen it in person. This was my
first ever experience. And the question
I got asked when I, you know, went
undercover at this event was, Carlin,
was the shrine about worshiping the soul
of the baby? And I had to say no because
if you look closely at some of the
elements on the shrine, and you can see
in this image here on the right, there
is actually an image of a of a a like a
person with it looks like her hands over
her eyes. And what it says on the
outside of that image, it's very very
small. I bet you guys can't see it, but
what it says on the outside of this
plate is loving yourself is the greatest
revolution.
So, that was my first ever experience
undercover with the far left. I have to
say I am a pro-choice individual um
personally, but I have to say this
almost made me pro-life because of how
blatant and how aggressive the left was
about abortion. How they really have no
it doesn't seem like they have any
semblance of humanity and abortion and
reproductive justice is at the focal
point of their strategies around
abolishing the gender binary which we
are going to get into a little bit
later. Well, that wasn't enough for me.
And several months after that, I decided
to go undercover at the biggest far-left
event of the year, and that is the
Socialism Conference. Now, for those of
you who are new, uh, obviously this
recording is happening in July 2025, but
um, when we actually just finished
covering the 2025 socialism conference,
so if you missed that over on my YouTube
channel, we actually did three full days
of coverage of the Socialism Conference.
The Socialism Conference is one of the
biggest far-left activist events of the
year. far-left socialists from all over
the country fly into Chicago and they
basically spend several days meeting
with each other and planning and
organizing and stuff like that. I went
undercover at the event two years ago
and you know when you're in undercover
at socialist events they do make you
wear a mask. I did have to wear a
disguise. I even wore a chest binder. I
got brand new glasses for the occasion
because apparently the only thing that
you have to do to make sure people don't
recognize you in the real world if you
have a YouTube channel on the internet
is just get a different pair of glasses
and no one knows who you are. It is
actually a pro tip. It does actually
work. Um, which is crazy in and of
itself. But I want to share with you
just to give you an idea of some of the
things that uh come out when I go
undercover at these events. I want to
share with you a couple of recordings
that I took just with a little USB stick
in my pocket. And the first recording is
of the then president of the American
Library Association. Her name was Emily
Drabinsky. She is no longer the
president of the American Library
Association. She has now been uh
succeeded by other non-binary people.
The American Library Association is
basically the professional organization
for all librarians across the country.
Um and Emily is a a confessed Marxist.
and she went around saying right after
she got elected to be the head of the
American Library Association that she
couldn't believe a Marxist lesbian had,
you know, been elected to this role and
everything. Well, I happened to run into
Emily at the Socialism 2023 conference.
It was actually a little bit of an
accident. And what happened was I was in
a session listening to other people talk
and Emily came up to the microphone
during the Q&A session and I want to
play you just a recording of what Emily
said. Now, it is a little bit hard to
hear because this was on a USB device in
my pocket, but you will be able to see
the uh the words on the screen. Let me
just play this video real quick.
>> So, this camera will be followed by the
camera in the green followed by the
camera here.
>> Hi, I'm Emily and I'm a librarian. I
just want to say thank you for
I just want to say thank you for
bringing up libraries and classroom
libraries but also school libraries of
all kinds public libraries and higher
education libraries who have been
attacked in similar ways. Uh but I think
your point that public education needs
to be a side of social organizing I
think libraries really do too and that
hasn't I haven't seen that for working
in libraries. So I think there's a real
opportunity here to both connect what's
happening in public education, what's
happening in the library, but also we
need some help in the in the library and
we need to be on the agenda of socialist
organizing. So
>> So libraries need to be on the agenda of
socialist organizing from the then
president of the American Library
Association. Emily wasn't the only
person I ran into at the socialism
conference. I also ran into a guy named
Jesse Higgopian. Jesse Higgopian is one
of our favorite teacher educators and we
follow him all the time. And here is
what Jesse Higgopian had to say. We'll
play his video next.
>> All right. Uh, thank you everybody. I'm
Jesse Higgopian. I'm a teacher in
Seattle and I work with Black Lives
Matter at school and the Zen Education
Project and rethinking schools. So, I've
actually got to zoom in and do meetings
with classrooms in Florida and with some
bold teachers who invited us into the
classroom in in the tradition of
fugitive pedagogy. Uh, you know,
smuggling in contraband curriculum, you
know, showing the film uh the rebellious
life of Mrs. Rosa Parks and then having
us come and discuss systemic racism in a
state where it's illegal. Um, and so
that that uh rebellion is is inspiring
to me and telling teachers in my state
to do this work if they can do it in
those conditions.
>> So what you heard Jesse Higgopian saying
just then was essentially Jesse
Higgopian is a high school teacher in
Seattle or he was a high school teacher
in Seattle. He seems to be a full-time
socialist teacher uh activist now. But
uh but at the time he was a high school
teacher in Seattle and what was going on
was teachers in Florida where you might
think woke curriculum is banned because
that's what Rhonda Santis tells you. But
there were teachers in Florida working
with Jesse Haggopian to actually zoom
Jesse into their classrooms and have
Jesse teach the curriculum that was
banned in Florida. So the teachers had
plausible deniability to say, "Oh no,
it's not us that's teaching it. We're
not teaching these things." But they
were zooming in someone from across the
country to teach the materials that they
couldn't teach. This is called fugitive
pedigogy or smuggler pedigogy. And this
was talked about openly at socialist
events that I went undercover at.
Another event that I went under
undercover at was at the University of
Colorado at Boulder. And this was a
really crazy event because this was an
event where I went to a presentation
about how dissociative disorder or some
people might know this colloquially as
multiple personality disorder. They they
did a whole presentation about how
dissociative disorder is a literal
gender identity. It's called system
gender in which you have multiple beings
or entities inside of you and they all
have different genders and apparently
they all have different gender
therapists as well. and that person was
the um the the system gendered person
presenting at the conference. You might
think that looks like one person, but
that was actually two different people
in the presentation. So, two different
of the alt uh identities actually
presented this presentation. So, they
switched back and forth between them.
There were a lot of people with multiple
personality disorder in the room with
me. I was I basically felt like I was
surrounded. It was a very interesting
experience. This was of course all
taxpayer funded at the University of
Colorado. But the good news is that a
week after I showed this presentation to
the world because I recorded the whole
presentation, you can actually find it
on my Substack. You can find it on my
YouTube channel. The University of
Colorado decided to uh dissociate from
this particular conference. It was
called the uh transforming gender
conference after this. So I guess that
was a little bit of win for the
undercover work, but that was definitely
a crazy event. And what I want people to
know about this is events like this are
not unusual. Events like this happen all
over the country all the time. And we
are actually very lucky in that most of
the time I don't even have to get on a
plane and fly to these events because
the vast majority of the events that we
go undercover at or I I'll use
undercover rather colloquially. They are
actually just virtual events because it
makes sense for the left to use the
internet to organize. It's it's cheaper.
It's more effective. You can reach more
people. You can do events over and over
and over again. You can have as many
people as you want in a room. You don't
have to pay rental fees. You don't have
to organize, you know, food and drink
and coffee and all that stuff that you
might have to do with an inerson event.
So, the vast majority of leftist
organizing actually does take place
online to a to a really great degree.
Now, that doesn't mean they don't do
things in the real world. Of course, we
see things like the Zoran Mandami
campaign in New York City. They're out
knocking on doors and making phone calls
just like any other political campaign
does. In fact, they're knocking on a lot
of doors and making a lot of phone
calls. So, I don't want to make it seem
like the left doesn't do anything in the
real world. They do do a lot of things
in the real world, and certainly those
are events we want to cover. But in
terms of understanding what the left
believes, in terms of understanding what
they're doing, how they think, how they
operate, how they're communicating with
each other, how they're organizing, we
have access to so much information on
the internet. We have access to more
information than we can ever watch. And
so most of the work that I do is just
spent watching the presentations,
listening to the language they're using,
listening to the tactics they're talking
about using. Because when the left puts
presentations online, they're not doing
it to market to a mass audience. They're
doing it to communicate with each other.
But people like us that are vehemently
against what the left is trying to do,
we can watch those presentations and we
can learn from those presentations and
we can use that to try to get ahead of
the left or outsmart them or try to
basically throw sand in their gear so
that they at least are slowed down a
little bit. I do believe the left is
winning. People don't like to hear this,
but I absolutely believe the left is
winning. I believe they're winning big
time. I believe it's not even close. And
if we don't get smart about how we're
fighting them and how we're learning
about them, I don't think that we
actually have a chance. So, what I want
to go over today is I want to give you
some highlevel information that you need
to know. And we're going to watch some
clips and stuff as well, but I want to
give you some highle information. If you
are brand new to following the left with
me, you're going to need to unlearn
everything you think you know. And we're
going to go back to the beginning
because there is so much disinformation
out there that is simply unhinged from
what the real far-left is doing in the
real world. So the very first thing I
want people to understand is what are
the goals of the left? What is the left
actually trying to do? Well, there are
four things that the left is always
trying to do. And every single tactic
that you see the left doing in the real
world, from protesting to organizing to
yelling in the streets to taking over
public schools to taking over media to
propaganda. Every single thing that you
see the left doing in the real world
does come back to one or more of these
four goals at all times. They are gain
as much power as possible, destabilize
the system, attack capitalism, usher in
their Marxist utopia. That is what
they're doing. That is what they're
doing at all times. There is nothing
that the left does that does not meet
one or more of those four goals. So, let
me go through those quickly and then
we're going to dig into the main one
that we want to pay attention to today,
which is goal number three, attacking
capitalism. So, the left starts out by
trying to gain as much power as
possible. Essentially, the far left in
America has been here for about a
hundred years. A little bit before that,
but really kind of the start of the
far-left takeover of America happened in
the 1930s when the Frankfurt School came
over from Columbia University, a group
of mostly Jewish intellectuals, and then
set up shop at Colombia. They came over
from Germany. They set up shop at
Columbia University in the 1930s. Um,
they came over much more much stronger
after World War II. There were there
were more people that came over and
joined them. And essentially, this is
why Colombia is like the home base for
all of the encampment protests you see,
for all of the social justice protests
that you see. Colombia is always very
prominent because Colombia is very
literally the epicenter of the left and
it has been for about a hundred years.
Once they took over Colombia, they
started kind of branching out and taking
over other higher education institutions
as well. Of course, starting with the
Ivy League schools and then trickling
down into, you know, your lesser private
schools and your state funded schools
and all that. Currently, the left pretty
much controls the academic side of
higher education. They are the faculty.
There are very few faculty members
across all colleges and universities
with rare exception that are not radical
leftists. So, what was the what was the
Frankfurt School trying to do? What what
were they trying to do by taking over
the university systems? They were trying
to gain as much power as possible by
putting themselves into positions of
institutional power that they could not
be fired from. It is very important that
people understand the difference between
institutional power and political power
because people think that you gain power
by winning elections and sure you do
gain some power by winning elections.
But political power is fleeting in that
you have to keep winning elections to
keep maintaining that political power.
you can be replaced literally at any
given time and you're always at the whim
of what the voters want you to do which
uh Trump is finding out right now may or
may not be aligned with what you
actually want to do as a leader. So
positions of political power are fine,
but what the left understands is that
you have to gain positions of
institutional power to have long-term
impact. Because when you get into a
faculty role, especially a tenure
faculty role at a university, it is very
difficult to get fired from that role.
Once you get a teaching job at a public
school, it is very difficult to get
fired from that role. Once you get a
government job, as as Trump is, you
know, has been finding out, it is very
difficult to get fired from a government
job, even if you're not even doing
anything. So, what the left does is they
get themselves into these positions of
institutional power across all major
institutions, and then they just own
that position. That gives them power to
make decisions within the realm of that
institution. So, once they have that
power, what do they do then? Then they
work on destabilizing the system. So
they make decisions and they enact
policies that are fundamentally
detrimental to to the American dream, to
what we're trying to accomplish, to even
just being a functional country. People
often look at the left and they say, you
know, why are they causing so much
chaos? Why does it seem like they always
veer towards chaos? Chaos is the goal.
Destabilization is the goal. Ultimately,
what the far-left wants to do is they do
want to have a revolution in this
country. They want to overthrow the
federal government. They want to abolish
the Constitution. They believe the
federal government and the Constitution
are capitalist documents. You're going
to be hearing the word capitalism a lot
tonight. And because they are capitalist
documents and capitalist institutions,
you need to abolish them to get where
they want to go. And so, they don't see
destabilization as a bad thing. They in
fact see destabilization as a feature of
uh of what they're actually trying to
achieve because you cannot overthrow the
current system unless you fully
destabilize it. Once they cause
destabilization, what happens? Average
people start experiencing pain. People
don't like running into protests. They
don't like having the roads blocked by
the protests. They don't like, you know,
riots and setting fires to things. They
don't like that people are shouting in
the streets. They don't like that, you
know, inflation. and they don't like DEI
training. They don't like any of these
things. The left starts to cause people
pain until people start saying, "Hey,
you know what? Things really suck." The
Zor and Mandami campaign in New York
City, by the way, is doing an amazing
job of exploiting this pain to get
people to vote for socialists, like
literal socialists. What they're doing
is they're saying, "Listen, things
really suck right now. Do you know why
they suck? Capitalism moving into goal
number three. Do you know why things are
so bad? It's not because we got in and
took over institutions and then just
started screwing everything up and
destabilizing everything. Things are so
bad because of capitalism. Because
capitalism causes all of our problems.
Capitalism is causing all your pain. And
you know what we need to do? We need to
get rid of capitalism and replace it
with something else. And that something
else, of course, is the Marxist utopia.
So those are the four goals that the
left is working on at all times. And you
might say, Carl, what about this? What
about that? What about that other thing?
No, these are the four things that
they're trying to do at all times. And
every single tactic the left does
achieves one or more of these four
goals. So again, this is gain as much
power as possible, destabilize the
system, attack capitalism, usher in
their Marxist utopia, and capitalism is
always the target. This is a meme that
went around Twitter. And actually, I
have to give Reagan a shout out.
Reagan's in the chat. This meme actually
didn't originally look like this because
this meme actually used to have
Palestine at the at the center of the
issue. However, when we saw this meme,
we were like, "Oh, no, no, no. You've
got it. You've got it messed up a little
bit." And Reagan actually took the time
to make the meme more accurate. So, if
you've seen this meme running around
Twitter where Palestine is at the center
of it, that's not accurate. That's
they're they're so close. Some people
are so close. But what we're really
going to talk a lot about tonight is how
capitalism bleeds into everything. And
this is the piece that most people don't
understand. When we're talking about
racism, that's a function of capitalism.
When we're talking about the patriarchy
or gender, that's a function of
capitalism. When we're talking about
masculinity, white supremacy, that's a
function of capitalism. Palestine is
even a function of capitalism, the
environmental stuff, climate change,
that is a function of capitalism.
Settler colonialism, which is why the
left doesn't like Israel, that is a
function of capitalism. All of these
issues are fundamentally connected
because the left believes that
capitalism which they define very very
very specifically
causes every single problem. So this
slide is a slide and you can see this is
actually a DSA image and this slide was
a slide that I got out of a conference
that was sponsored by the community
college system in California where
they're flat out laying it out and this
person's talking about what do I mean by
liberation? Liberation means working
collectively to guarantee us all housing
is a human right, food is a right,
movement is a right, universal health
care, universal child care. The left
believes that if we can just take all
the resources, all of the private
property, all of the money in society
right now and we use that to, you know,
just like we're going to buy all the
houses or we're going to procure all the
houses and we're going to distribute the
houses so that everyone has a place to
live. We're going to distribute all the
food. What could go wrong with having
the left in control of the food supply?
We're going to make sure we manage all
health care, universal health care for
all, no private doctors, no private
insurance, universal child care, no
parental rights for everyone. We're
going to talk about that. The left
believes that literally all the problems
we have in society are caused by
capitalism. And they believe that if we
can just get rid of capitalism, all of
these problems will be solved. And when
you hear them say the term liberation,
liberation is always, always, always,
always, always the goal with the
far-left. And they will say this flat
out. Now, I want to play you a video.
This video, I just want people to get a
sense of like how ridiculous it is
sometimes to hear the left talk about
these things. And and it always makes me
laugh because people on the right used
to always tell me, "Carlin, the left
never talks about capitalism. Why are
you always talking about capitalism? The
left never talks about capitalism. Well,
guess what? If you actually listen to
the left, they talk about capitalism
literally all the time. And I promise
you, we're going to play you so many
clips tonight where you're going to hear
them talk about this, once you start
hearing it and once you start noticing
the pattern where this is the thing that
is at the focal point of what they're
doing all the time, you will never hear
things the same again. So, this is
actually a training that I infiltrated
uh not too long ago, a couple weeks ago.
And this was actually an organizing call
for the Mayday Strong Organization,
which is an organization that is led by
the National Education Association, the
teachers unions. And these are some of
the people that are organizing protests
all over the country right now. Um
actually, there's there was a protest
today called the Good Trouble Protest.
They weren't really involved in that,
but you are going to see other protests
that the Mayday Strong Coalition is
organizing. And predominantly, these are
the protests you're going to see the
teachers unions involved in. Like the
Chicago teachers union is very involved
with this group. This was an organizing
call they had a couple weeks ago. And I
want to play you the video of this lady
talking on the call and you guys are
going to freak out. And it was so great.
Okay, here she is.
Thank you for having me. And greetings
comrades. I greet you as comrades
because I am coming to you with
optimism, seriousness as well as a
revolutionary spirit. And I want to talk
to you about revolutionary spirit and
both the moment of revolution. This is a
moment where we have to be willing to
imagine big, to imagine bold, and to
think beyond this current moment.
A sobering a sobering reality is that we
got here because the thing right before
it led us to it. We cannot wish for the
society of two years ago, of three years
ago, of five years ago. We have to be
willing to imagine something radically
different because here is the truth. Any
semblance of transphobia, patriarchy,
white supremacy, capitalism are
ingredients and recipe for fascism. If
you don't get there quickly, you'll get
there eventually. And that is what
happened in front of us. We cannot allow
these systems of oppression to exist.
They are incompatible with our visions
of freedom and our visions of
liberation. And we have to be bold
enough, courageous enough to imagine a
different world and be willing and be
willing to to stake our very lives on
it. And I am saying that to you very
seriously and not in a dramatic term.
Our lives are at stake. Our enemy is
pro-war.
They are pro-profit. They are anti-
people and anti-planlet.
We are pro people, pro- planet, pro
peace. Right? These are our enemies.
They intend to destroy us, our bodies,
our lives, the planet, and we must be
clear. And the way that we can ensure
that we not only defeat the far right,
which is absolutely our objective right
now, but the way that we can ensure that
we don't wind up in the same situation
50 years later, because what I know to
be true is that we the people can defeat
a thing. I come from a people that have
defeated child enslavement on this very
earth. I come from a people that have
defeated Jim Crow as an institution. I
come from a people currently battling
the prison industrial complex and we
will defeat that. So I am confident in
our ability to defeat a thing. What I am
agitating and challenging us on is to
not only to show up to defeat the thing,
but for us to be the ones to
fundamentally transform society so that
20 years from now another generation of
us isn't facing fascism again. Again, we
cannot look for the world of five.
>> So I'm just going to pause it there. I
think you you kind of get the idea about
that. But listen, this person is talking
about fundamentally changing society.
That means a revolution against
capitalism. That's what they mean when
they say that. This person is talking
about how capitalism is the epicenter of
what they're doing. This person is
talking about how capitalism is
literally trying to kill them. And I
really want people to understand this
because this is not a small thing. And
we're going to talk specifically about
what the left means by capitalism in a
moment here. But it's really not a small
thing because think about what happens
when you have an enemy that you very
literally believe is going to kill you
and is going to kill every member of
your family. That is what they believe
capitalism is doing. And so we're going
to get into the introduction of what
what does capitalism actually mean. And
I do want to remind people that uh that
if you have questions at any point
during this presentation, please feel
free to put them in the Q&A tab. You can
find the Q&A tab at the top of the
webinar module here. You can distinguish
between chat and Q&A. Please put all
questions in the Q&A tab. I will take
questions at the end. So, it's better to
just put the questions in when you have
them rather than wait until the end. But
let's get into a definition. So, what
explicitly does the left mean when they
say capitalism? And I want to make sure
people understand this. My argument is
not that capitalism is a perfect model.
I think that capitalism there are many
critiques that you can make of it. But
we have to have those conversations on a
different day because part of the
problem is is that your definition of
capitalism as a non-leftist, as an
anti-communist, it is probably different
than what the left's definition of
capitalism is. So you can come and say,
I can critique capitalism too for reason
X, Y, B, and Z. Good for you. That has
nothing to do with what the far left
believes and it has nothing to do with
what the far left is doing. So you got
to step outside of your feelings on this
one. You got to step outside of your
lived experience because our goal here
is to understand what the left actually
believes because their behaviors happen
based on what they believe is true. When
the left says capitalism, they are
explicitly defining it as private
property ownership. That is what they
are defining it as. Now when they say
private property, they are referencing
bgeois property or property that can be
used to create generational and
privatized wealth. Wealth that is
exclusive to you. Wealth that is
exclusive to your family. What they are
not talking about are things like your
computer or your phone or your car or
your pets or things like that. This is a
trick that the left tries to play with
people because one of the things that
the left will do is they'll say, "Don't
worry. We're not going to take your
stuff. We're not going to take your
personal property. We're just going to
take your private property. Don't worry
about that." Like, you can still have
all your stuff. We're just going to take
the private property. And then that's
going to or the boogeois property, they
might say. And so what they're trying to
do is to trick people into believing
that it's really not as bad as you think
it is, but it is that bad. When the left
is talking about bgeoa property, they're
talking about basically anything that
you can use to amass a large amount of
individual wealth. So, here are the
things that the left is going to do. And
I have them on video saying every single
one of these things. We are not going to
be able to watch all the clips tonight,
but I you have to trust me that I do
have this on video and you can find it
either on my Substack on my YouTube
channel, stuff like that. If you're
looking for a specific video, you can
always ask and I can try to get that
information to you. When the left says
private property ownership here, here
are the things that the left is going to
eliminate if they ever get into power,
they're going to take away your ability
to own a home. They're going to take
away your ability to own land. They're
going to take away your ability to own a
private business, whether or not that
private business is big or small.
They're going to take away your rental
properties that you might use as a
landlord or an Airbnb because they don't
believe landlords should exist. They are
going to take away your parental rights
over your kids. If if you don't
understand that one yet, just put that
one in your back pocket. We're going to
talk about that one. But they do
consider parental rights over children
to be a form of private property because
they believe that if you can pass
generational wealth from parent to
child, that is a form of private
property ownership. There are other
reasons too. And yes, they do consider
individual liberties to be a form of
private property that of course you
would not have once you move over to a
more collectivized society. Other things
the left is going to do is they want to
get rid of all private health care. No
private health care, no private
insurance, no private doctors. They want
to get rid of all private schooling and
homeschooling. Public schooling only
that's available to everyone. They want
to get rid of all private energy and gas
providers. So essentially, they're the
ones that are going to tell you where
you can go, how much gas you can have,
what traveling you can do, stuff like
that. And yes, they do actually want to
control the food supply. They want to
get rid of all private farms. They
believe that farmers are some of the
original capitalists because farmers
were some of the original people who
privatized land in order to make
personal wealth on it by having farms.
So they believe in collectivizing all
food production which of course has gone
just really really well all throughout
history. That has never been problematic
at all. Um, they also have an idea about
getting rid of private kitchens within
households so that you would get all
your food at the community canteen and
you would always eat with the community.
And yes, I have them uh on video saying
this. But what the biggest thing that
people need to understand is
to the left, capitalism is not just an
economic model. Capitalism is also a
cultural model. And this is what trips
most people up when it comes to the far
left is you think of capitalism and you
think, "Oh, I go into the store and buy
stuff. That's capitalism." Or there's
price gouging and that's capitalism. Or,
you know, they want to control the means
of production, whatever that means
today. I mean, I I don't even know how
people still buy into this uh means of
production thing because quite frankly,
we don't live in a factory-based society
anymore. Yes, factories do still exist,
but we live in a time where you can
create things very very simply with very
few resources. And so the whole means of
production argument of the the left
controlling the factories, it's kind of
an outdated model based on the
industrial revolution. But a lot of
people think that that's still the goal.
What most people don't understand is is
that capitalism is also a cultural model
with things that uphold the cult the the
capitalist nature of our society. And
when I say capitalist nature, I mean
things like individualism and
meritocracy.
And we're going to look at a few things
later where that I'm going to
demonstrate this. Um, but I do just want
to make sure that people really
understand this. We're going to watch
this this clip uh from one of our
favorite socialists. Her name is Mary
Bowman. Mary Bowman is actually a
professor of nursing at Depal University
in where where is that? Minneapolis. I'm
pretty sure Mary Bowman spoke at the
socialism conference a couple uh a
couple weeks ago or a couple years ago.
She spoke a couple weeks ago too,
actually. And I want you to hear what
Mary Bowman says is the ultimate goal of
what the socialists are trying to do
because it is actually very serious and
they are very serious about it. Let me
just get up her video. Here we go.
And yes, ultimately, and if that wasn't
clear from the end of my talk, that will
require a revolution. We cannot be free
under capitalism. We cannot be free in
this society as long as any person is in
prison. As long as any person is denied
health care for something necessary. No,
that will never be free.
So we cannot be free until everyone is
free. What Mary is saying there is that
we as a society will never be free until
we are liberated from the oppressive
nature of capitalism or private property
ownership. Now in order to understand
capitalism as a cultural model because
yes I is is the abolition of capitalism
and the the far-left's goals for the
economy are those dangerous? Yeah,
absolutely they are. But far more
dangerous to me is how the left views
capitalism as part of the cultural
model. And so I want to start to bring
some of this into focus. What does
capitalism have to do with racism? What
does capitalism have to do with gender?
What does capitalism have to do with the
nuclear family? If you learn these three
things, you will understand more about
what the far-left believes and what
they're trying to do than pretty much
anyone else on the internet. And the
biggest thing that gives people the most
trouble when they start understanding
the far-left is that when the left says
things like whiteness or white
supremacy, they are not talking about
skin color.
Now, I'm not going to argue that there
aren't trickle down impacts that create
what some people call a so-called
anti-white society or anti-white people
who are against white people. I'm not
going to argue that doesn't happen.
However, what I want you to understand
is we can't take the trickle down
notions of quite frankly retarded people
in society who believe this is about
skin color and and apply that to the
larger group because I have watched
again I have watched literally thousands
of hours of leftist training. I have
almost never or very very rarely heard
them talk about white people. In fact,
I've heard the opposite. I I it's much
more common that I hear that black
people can be considered white, that
whiteness is about who owns the pro the
uh the power structure, that whiteness
is related to property ownership. And
I'm going to show you some examples of
that. And what you're seeing is that
they have equated whiteness with the
idea of productivity, individualism,
meritocracy, all of the things that
uphold our society that is more about,
you know, creating an individual
experience rather than being a part of
the collective. So, let me break this
down. Here is what the left believes.
And when I tell you what the left
believes, I'm not saying you have to
agree with them. But I'm saying that our
goal here is to understand them so that
we can actually learn how to speak their
language. And whether or not you agree
with them or whether or not what they
believe pisses you off or you have a
debunk for it, it doesn't really matter
because your feelings are not going to
change what the left actually believes
and the and the premise that they're
operating from.
So what the left believes is is that
capitalism which is defined as private
property ownership created slavery in
the United States because slavery is the
ownership of people as private property.
Okay, everyone understand that
capitalism private property ownership
created the institution of slavery which
is the ownership of people as private
property. Slavery then created something
called systemic racism, which is the
system that upholds racism if we just
break it down. You might also hear it
referred to as institutional racism, the
institution that upholds racism. And
when they are talking about systemic
racism or institutional racism, they're
not talking about your skin color. They
are talking about capitalism as the
system or the institution that upholds
racism in our society. And finally, they
believe that abolishing capitalism is
literally the only way to get rid of
racism. We will not solve racism in this
country until capitalism is abolished.
And and by the way, this is actually in
the dictionary. They changed the
definition of racism in 2020 during the
BLM riots to specifically reflect
systemic racism or institutional racism.
And even more than that, I actually
wrote a book earlier this year. You can
find it on Amazon. It's called A Brief
History of Racism where I actually laid
out the the development and the
invention of the word racism. And I
followed the evolution of the definition
of the term racism since it was invented
in 1902 in America. And I'll tell you
what, the term racism has a long and
storied history of being about the
system or the structure. I have major
activists, civil rights leaders, social
justice people for for decades and
decades and decades explicitly saying
that racism means capitalism and
capitalism means racism. And so we see
this over and over and over again. And
I'm going to show you some examples in
this. One of the most famous examples
that most people are familiar with is
this is a document that appeared in the
Smithsonian Museum in 2020 called the
aspects and assumptions of white culture
in the United States. Now, I just want
to read some of the things that are on
this flyer and I know it's a little bit
blurry. I apologize for that, but it is
what I have. And I just want to read
some of the attributes here so that you
can understand this is not related to
individual skin color. This is all
related to the aspects of the left
considers to be part of a capitalist
society. So number one, we have rugged
individualism.
Why would individualism be specific to
people with white skin color? We have
family structure. That is a reference to
the nuclear family. We're going to talk
about that in a little bit. Employ
scientific method. Are you are you
telling me that black people can't
employ the scientific method? Of course
they can. It's not related to skin
color. It's related to upholding the
capitalist system. We've got things like
work ethic. I mean, that's pretty on the
nose for capitalism. We've got things
like status and peer authority. That's
all about capitalism. It's all about
status. Bajgeois. Things like time.
They're not saying that black people
can't tell time. They're saying time,
holding a schedule, punk punching it on
a time clock that upholds the capitalist
structure. Every single thing on this
chart is about capitalism. It's not
about skin color. And once you
understand this, you can start to look
at this information in a new way to say,
"Oh, they're attacking something
different than what I thought they
were." You can also look at just the
articles that they write on their
websites. This was on NPR. This was back
in 2021.
Understanding multi-racial whiteness and
Trump supporters, what the f is
multi-racial whiteness? Are you telling
me that any race can actually be white?
Well, that's not true if whiteness is
about skin color. It's only true if
whiteness is about capitalism. We can
also look at this headline from the Los
Angeles Times, and I think this was back
in 2020 as well. Larry Elder is the
black face of white supremacy.
How can someone be the black face of
white supremacy? He's literally black
while Larry Elder is a capitalist. Larry
Elder is part of the bgeoa, part of the
the uh the property ownership class. And
that is why Larry Elder can be the black
base of white supremacy. Now, I don't
want you to take my word for it. As
always, I want you to listen to Cheryl
Harris. Cheryl Harris wrote the seminal
paper called whiteness's property. This
is a very famous paper on the far left.
She published it in Harvard Law Review
in 1993.
This is a speech that Cheryl Harris gave
20 years after the publication of her
paper. I have the full speech on my
YouTube channel if you want to go and
watch it. Is it is also just available
on YouTube in general. She gave this
speech in October of 2014. And I have
two clips from this speech that I want
to play for you to demonstrate this
point that whiteness is not about skin
color. It's really about capitalism. And
uh we're just going to get into this
first clip here. Let me just skip the
video.
And this first clip is literally going
to say that whiteness is not about skin
color. Listen,
>> whiteness is not a skin color or even a
racial type. It is a social relation
constructed on exclusion, structural
privilege, and its valorization.
Whit whiteness is not a skin color, or
even a racial type. That's a little bit
on the nose, isn't it? But but Cheryl
Harris got even more on the nose. And in
this clip, you're going to hear her say,
"Wait a second. Black people can be
white, too." Listen.
Secondly, um post-racialism's commitment
to protect some value in whiteness,
however relative, what Derek Bell called
the promise not to be the face at the
bottom of the well. It coexists with
expanding whiteness to encompass
non-whites. And I think uh Chuck was
alluding to this a little bit um
yesterday. Post-racial whiteness is
conditionally available to persons of
any racial group, even some blacks.
>> Postracial whiteness is available to
anyone of any racial group, including
some blacks. I know this might be
information that people don't want to to
acknowledge, but the fact is they are
not talking about skin color. They are
talking about the system. That's why
it's available to some blacks because
black people can start businesses, too.
This is a poster that I got in a
socialist magazine. I actually got this
magazine at the socialism conference in
2023 in person. And it is a quote from
Angela Davis. Angela Davis is one of the
patron saints of the far left. Racism
cannot be separated from capitalism. I
don't know how it could be more clear,
but but actually they did make it more
clear because this year and this book
actually just got presented at the
socialism conference a couple weeks ago.
This is a book by uh Arun and it
literally the title of the book is what
is anti-racism and why it means anti-
capitalism and the the thumbnail beside
it that was actually a video from the
launch of the book anti-racism must mean
anti- capitalism. The left is very very
clear when you start listening to what
they're saying. This is an example of
when you're going to see oftentimes what
you see the left doing is when they talk
about slavery, when they talk about
racism, they intermix it with capitalism
over and over and over again. This is
one of my favorite videos. This is a
video of a teacher education trainer
named Dena Simmons. Dena Simmons made
tens of thousands of dollars providing
consulting services to the Cambridge,
Massachusetts School District. You can
see the Cambridge, Massachusetts School
District actually uh publicized her on
their Twitter feed. This was back in
2022. I wanted to play you this video of
Dena where you hear her talk about
capitalism and slavery, capitalism and
racism and whiteness. They she talks
about it interchangeably almost as
though they are the exact same thing.
based on the people that we're citing
here, Angela Davis, Ruth Wilson,
Gilmore, and others, that a lot of their
work is inseparable from anti-
capitalism. Is abolitionist teaching
anti- capitalist by nature.
Abolition is anti- capitalist by nature.
You know, we know right now that
capitalism is the structure that we are
under. And so we're going to use this
structure to our best ability. But what
we also know is that capitalism will not
free us.
>> And you got to remember that this this
country was built off of stolen black
labor. And that all those folks who are
positions of power who have that money,
you got it because you stole it,
>> you know. And I think, you know, it's
always so funny. Can I throw money at
that? I'm like, yo, that money is mine.
Like that money is mine. Actually, you
just you stole it, you know. And I think
of course, you know, being, you know, an
abolitionist is anti- capitalism, right?
Because there's a connection between
capitalism and slavery in this country.
There's a capitalism um between, you
know, how communities like redlinining
were built to disenfranchise people,
how, you know, the hierarchy of
structures in organizations, who gets
paid and who has the power to say this,
that's all capitalism. And honestly, to
me, that's whiteness. And we have to
eradicate whiteness. We have to abolish
whiteness as well.
>> Last word, goalie.
>> So, could not be more clear talking
about anti- capitalism, anti-
capitalism. To me, this is capitalism
and to me that's whiteness and we have
to abolish whiteness. They are using the
terms completely interchangeably because
to the far left they are
interchangeable. Now, you might say,
Carlin, is are they referring to skin
color in this instance? Are they
referring to skin color in that
instance? There are almost no instances
where the left is referring to skin
color. I mean it like again it does
happen every once in a blue moon where
they actually are talking about skin
color. When you recently saw the uh the
South African president get called out
by Donald Trump in the Oval Office for
specifically targeting white people for
murder. That was actually about skin
color. South Africa is a completely
different thing. And so I don't want
people to be confused because people see
this footage from South Africa that is
legitimately about skin color. But we
are not South Africa. We are America. We
have different problems. We have
different activists. We have different
They have different philosophies. And so
just because something is happening in
South Africa doesn't mean the far-left
in America is following South Africa. I
promise you they're not. They never even
talk about South Africa. So another
example of this that people might be
familiar with is of course you look at
things like the Black Lives Matter
movement. What was the Black Lives
Matter movement actually about? What did
they actually want? Well, they wanted
the abolition of the police, defunding
the police, abolishing the police. That
was their main argument. They set fire
to a police station in Minneapolis. They
they they commandeered police a police
station in Seattle. It was all about
defunding the police. Defunding the
police, abolishing the police. Why do
they want to get rid of the police?
Well, the police are one of the primary
targets. They are enemies of the left.
They hate the cops. They hate the prison
industrial complex. They very literally
want to abolish all prisons and free all
criminals because they believe that uh
that there will be no crime or very
reduced crime in a post capitalist
society or the Marxist utopia. And the
reason they hate the police so much is
because they actually believe the police
are the managers or the upholders of
private property. And they believe the
start of the police in this country
going back to capitalism creating
slavery. They believe the start of the
police in this country was to apprehend
runaway slaves by the property owners.
So the start of the police was to
apprehend the runaway private property
and return it to the owners. Okay. And
this is an example of a a tweet that was
sent I think back in 2020 where they're
actually giving eth graders in schools
assignments to teach them that the
police are the same as the KKK. And you
can actually see it demonstrated here
where you've got the police are the
slave the slave masters and they're
selling the slaves and they're the slave
catchers and then they're they're the
KKK and then they became the sheriffs
and then they became the police. This is
the evolution that the left sees for the
police. So that is why they don't like
them. They believe they are the managers
of private property. Again, we're
looking at capitalism not just as an
economic model but also as a cultural
model. Capitalism upholds all of the
norms. Now, we're going to move into the
part of the presentation on gender and
the nuclear family because you want to
talk about capitalism as a as a cultural
model. Your your your head is going to
explode when you see some of the videos
that I'm going to show you around gender
and around the nuclear family. So, um so
I want everyone to just to we're going
to watch this video first. Okay.
So, you might think that the term queer
is related to being gay, or you might
think the term queer is related to being
trans. It is neither of those things.
Queer is a positional term that is
defined based on its opposition to
normativity. Normativity is a word that
you hear on the left an awful lot.
Normativity essentially means the norms
that uphold capitalism, the norms that
uphold our society. And in the case of
of gender and the nuclear family, gender
and the nuclear family are the two
primary norms that the left is attacking
all the time, specifically within queer
ideology to try to undermine capitalist
society. So the first thing I want you
to do is I want you to hear from the
left themselves. This is actually a clip
from a show on the Discovery Channel
called The Book of Queer. So, it's a
very like, you know, I mean, it's out
there in pop culture and they're
explicitly going to tell you that queer
is about being against the normal, the
legitimate, the dominant. It's not about
being gay or trans. It's about being
against the norms that uphold society.
So, listen to the video.
>> Howdy, I'm Eric Cervini, the Book of
Queer's resident homoistorian.
Welcome to the footnotes. You may have
noticed that we haven't labeled Abe gay
because that wouldn't make too much
sense. Why?
Because sexuality, just like race and
gender, is what we call a social
construct or a concept that we as a
society just came up with. And during
Lincoln's time, the idea of a homosexual
hadn't yet been conceived or constructed
in the English language. For hundreds of
years, people didn't agree on a word for
men who loved men. And given all of
these changes in language throughout
history, that's why we love the word
queer. All it means, in the words of
queer theorist David Hprin, is whatever
is at odds with the normal, the
legitimate, the dominant. And hey, we
may even come up with newer social
constructs to describe ourselves in the
future. After all, they're really just
figments of our collective imagination.
Social constructs are just figments of
our collective imagination.
Well, that includes gender.
Because the reason you see so much fuss
about trans ideology in school, queer
ideology in school, it's not actually
about getting the kids to transition
their gender, although that is something
that they're doing. And you know,
thankfully the Trump administration is
now issuing orders to try to put a stop
to that because of course that is going
to that is going to go down. kids
cutting off body parts and getting on
hormones is going to go down as one of
the greatest atrocities like inflicted
on humanity when they look back on this
in the future of this. I'm absolutely
sure. But what I want you to hear is
although that is abhorrent and we
definitely want to stop that, that's
actually not the goal of what queer
ideology is doing.
When when when the left is pushing
things like drag queen story hour, the
left is not actually trying to like
sexualize your kids. They're not trying
to turn your kids into drag queens. When
the left is pushing these ideas, what
they're trying to do is to teach your
children that gender does not exist.
They're trying to teach your kids that
gender is a social construct. That it
was a social construct that was created
by capitalism. So again, this is what
the left believes. They believe that
capitalism created the social constructs
of men and women. The social constructs
are what you call the gender binary.
Gender binary just means men and women
and there are two and you are one of the
one or the other. The left believes that
capitalism, private property ownership,
created these social constructs when
they put men in the workplace where they
had access to all the power and all the
money and women in the home doing the
unpaid labor of raising the next
generation of proletarian workers in the
nuclear family. We'll talk about that in
a sec.
The goal of the left, the primary goal
is to abolish the gender binary because
they believe that these are just fake
categories that were created by
capitalism. They want to abolish the
idea of men and they want to abolish the
idea of women. And this is really
important for people to understand.
People think the left hates women. They
want they want men in women's sports or
the left hates men because they're doing
all this toxic masculinity stuff. The
left doesn't hate men over women. They
don't hate women over men. They hate
gender.
They hate all gender. They don't want
men to exist. They don't want women to
exist because that is a binary. So, when
you're seeing things like these crazy
pronouns that are being introduced or
you're seeing things like nonbinary,
what does a non-binary they them
identity mean? Non-binary literally
means no binary. Because the left
believes that in order to abolish
capitalism, they need to attack the
gender binary because the gender binary
is one of the things that upholds the
nuclear family, which we'll talk about
in a second. The nuclear family being
the reproduction mechanism of
capitalism. We talked about abortion
when I went told you I went undercover
at an abortion conference earlier in the
presentation. The reason that the left
is shout your abortion up until birth
and all that stuff is because they
believe that abortion liberates women
from the reproductive roles forced on
them by capitalism within the gender
binary. And they're not they're not
overt about this. You know, I've covered
stories that no one else has covered on
the internet, like the story of Tus
University studying non-binary
three-year-olds to try to reverse
engineer how to convince people to be
non-binary. I've actually covered there
is a do you guys know there's a specific
groomer middle school in New York City
that is exclusive for trans and
non-binary students. I covered that a
couple years ago and actually since I
covered that and I'll play you this
video. The the trans non-binary school
in New York City has actually grown.
They've released marketing materials and
uh let me just show you what is going on
with the kids and the trans school in
New York City.
Hang on. Hang on. Here it goes.
[Music]
Transformative Schools is a visionary
after school program serving trans kids
here in New York City.
>> We're a team of trans and career
teachers trying to start a trans school.
As far as we know, we're the only
program serving LGBTQ youth in New York
City under the age of 12. And the dream
is to grow from an afterchool program
and be a middle school for trans kids, a
home away from home. Um, here in New
York City, the space that we're creating
is one where kids feel safe and seen and
understood.
>> We've been working with students ages 9
to 15, doing classes, everything from
engineering to yoga to computer coding
to art. We also do a bunch of policy and
advocacy work. We've gotten involved
with the community education council,
which is New York City's version of a
school board. And we're showing up at
those schoolboard meetings and
protecting trans kids and building
community. And I feel very proud of that
work. And also seeing the parents
feeling the support of having a space
that often times these kids don't have
in their schools is really important for
us. Visibility matters so much. When
kids see you, they understand that your
existence is enough because you're here.
And them being able to see you means
that they get to exist and they get to
see themselves become doctors, become
teachers, become activists, become
whatever it is that they want to. If
they don't have anyone that they can see
doing this work and being alive and
doing this work, then they don't know
that their futures are possibilities.
And so we are their possibility models.
>> I think we live in a scary time in the
world right now in that trans people,
particularly trans kids, are under
attack. And I am incredibly proud to be
able to do all this work to try and
stand up for them and try and make their
lives easier.
>> Trans kids deserve trans schools.
[Music]
>> So I do think it's significant that they
called the schools transformative
schools because when the left uses the
term trans, they don't necessarily mean
transition your gender from man to woman
or woman to man. What they actually mean
is transform gender or transcend gender.
So you'll see the left talking a lot
about transforming gender, which means
abolishing the gender binary, moving
beyond the gender binary. And we see
this stuff like this show up in just
everyday trainings that take place in
workplaces. This is a a training that
was funded by the Washington DC mayor's
office uh a couple years ago. And you
can see in this training um just on this
slide here, they're talking about
dismantling gender spaces. What can we
do to dismantle gender spaces? They're
talking about dismantling the idea of
there being two genders. I also covered
this uh federal government training a
couple years ago where we this was a
federally funded government training
that literally taught that if you go
into a a school classroom and you write
there are only two genders on the
chalkboard, that is a form of
harassment. And I'm going to play you a
video of that clip so you can hear that.
Here
it is.
>> And then we're required to intervene if
we witness discrimination, harassment,
right? I know at school sometimes when
we say the word bullying, we kind of
just our brain just shuts off like don't
talk to me anymore about bullying. But
if we're talking about on that one, what
the law says in intimidation, that's
kind of like the lowest bar right there,
the lowest hanging fruit. Intimidation.
What does that look like? You know, if a
student walks into a classroom and says,
"There's only two genders," and writes
it on the board,
as I've been getting calls about when we
start school again, right? Kids come
back from the summer and they've got a
lot to say.
That's intimidation.
That's harassment. We have a duty to
intervene. But how do we do it? How does
our staff know how to do it? Right? We
have to give them those tools. They,
most of our staff have not been trained.
Um, even you all here today who found
out about this because you're in this
work, you're looking for it. Like o like
like 75% of you, this is your first
gender identity training right on the
>> So, you can see how these ideas go from
being crazy ideas on the far left of
gender is a social construct of
capitalism. Well, who's ever going to
buy into those ideas? Well, apparently
the federal government bought into those
ideas, at least during the Biden
administration because this was a
literal teachers training that took
place in Orange County, California in
September of 2023, and we found it live
on the internet with only a couple of
views on it. So, uh, so this is how this
stuff makes its way into the real world.
All of a sudden, you've got teachers
that are telling students in schools,
you can't say there are only two
genders. And the reason that's happening
is because they want to abolish the
gender binary. They want to abolish the
idea of men and women. They want kids to
believe that gender is fluid, that you
can change your gender as easy as
changing an outfit. That's what Drag
Queen Story Hour is all about. Showing
these cartoon-like characters that dress
up in frilly dresses and sparkles and
all of a sudden they can change their
gender. And that is why they're teaching
kids this ideology. You don't abolish
gender by issuing a law. You abolish
gender by getting into the public
schools and teaching kids when they are
very very very young that gender does
not exist. So why do they want to
abolish gender? What is going on there?
What what is the goal of abolishing
gender? Well, in order to understand
that, you have to understand the nuclear
family. Now, most people know the
nuclear family is is absolutely a target
on the far left, and we're going to
watch a lot of clips to that effect. But
you have to understand why it's a
target. Because it's not just that they
hate their parents. That's not what it
is. It's not just that they have mommy
and daddy issues. It's not just that,
you know, they believe the nuclear
family is like a norm a normative thing.
Although they do. The big reason the
left wants to abolish the nuclear family
is because they believe the nuclear
family is the literal means of
production of capitalism. So talk about
the means of production. talking about
controlling the means of production. I
mentioned earlier it's kind of absurd to
think of the means of production today
as the factories because although
factories do exist, there are a lot of
things that are produced in society
outside of the factory model, right? How
is capitalism produced? How is
capitalism reproduced? How is capitalism
fed? How is capitalism perpetuated? The
left believes this is all because of the
nuclear family. This is something called
social reproduction theory. Social
reproduction theory says there that
social systems will reproduce themselves
until they are abolished or until they
are disrupted. The left believes
that the nuclear family is the literal
means of production of capitalism
because women who are oppressed by the
patriarchy have kids. They do the unpaid
labor to have children within the
nuclear family. those new those children
are going to be the future oppressed
workers of the uh the capitalist model.
So basically the nuclear family is going
to raise these kids with capitalist
values like you have to go out and get a
job and that teaches the worker that
teaches the children that they're going
to be the future workers under
capitalism. They're primed for this when
they're kids and so that's one of the
ways the capitalist model is being uh
perpetuated. But they also believe that
children are considered to be a form of
private property when parental rights
exist. They believe that children should
be raised by everyone in the community
rather than in the privatized model
because this is about passing
generational wealth from parent to
child. And this is quite literally where
all of the attacks on parental rights
comes from. It comes from this idea. We
know that parental rights are under
attack all over the country. There are
all sorts of states passing laws that
give the schools more power over the
kids than parents do. Um, most of this
is related to trans surgery, transing
kids, queering kids, stuff like that.
Trans minors protected from parents
under Washington state law. This is an
article that appeared in the Atlantic
says children are not property. The idea
that underlies the right-wing campaign
for parental rights. It was funny
because when I was reading this article
originally, I was reading this article.
I'm like, this was written by a
socialist. was obviously written by a
socialist and only a socialist could
write this article. Well, guess what? At
the end of the article, the author's
like, "I'm a socialist." Like, flat out
in the article. I was like, "Yeah, of
course you're a socialist." Like, this
is this is a socialist mentality. And
you can see when you get over to the far
left and you start looking at their
books, these are two of our favorite
abolish the family activists. We've got
Emmy O'Brien and Sophie Lewis. Emmy
O'Brien very literally wrote a book
called uh Family Abolition, Capitalism,
and the Communizing of Care. Sophie
Lewis has written multiple books about
abolish the family, including the
manifesto for Care and Liberation. If
you come to my streams on YouTube or
Rumble, we watch Emmy O'Brien and Sophie
Lewis an awful lot. These ideas are
very, very pronounced on the far left.
And I do just want to play you several
videos of different uh leftist trainings
that I've uh that I've been in um to to
demonstrate this fact. So, the first uh
video that we're going to watch is
actually Sophie. Sophie is our queen.
Sophie is our ginger dragon. We love
watching Sophie because Sophie just says
the quiet part out loud literally all
the time. And so I want to play you uh
this clip of Sophie talking about
parental rights.
Yes, it's true what the far right says.
Feminism wants to abolish the family
to hell with family values and all
capitalist value for that matter.
And fuck parents rights.
My hunch is that just beyond the horizon
beckoning to those of us who want to
hear it. There is a world of
relationship
no longer strangled by scarcity and no
longer held hostage by economics.
Thank you. No longer held hostage by
economics. That kind of seems like a
reference to uh capitalism to me,
doesn't it? The next video I want to
show you is again of our one of our
favorite socialists, Mary Bowman. Um,
this is again in uh Mary's talk at the
socialism conference in uh 2023 where
Mary is going to flat out telling tell
you that she thinks uh destroying the
nuclear family is a pretty good idea.
But some of their fears may be legit
legitimate cuz destroying the nuclear
family through sexual liberation and
queer relationship anarchy sounds pretty
great.
Destroying the nuclear family through
sexual liberation and a queer
relationship anarchy sounds uh pretty
great to Mary. I also love this clip
that we're going to show from the uh the
Denver Communist. The Denver Communist
flat out said uh that children are a
form of private property. Let me get
this clip up real quick. Listen to this.
It's important to get the politics
straight.
So to understand the transition period,
we must first of all understand what the
goal is. So just briefly, Karl Marx was
a revolutionary. His goal was the
replacement of capitalism by communism,
not the superficial modification of
capitalism. His critique of capitalism
was extremely radical, covering gender
and sexual relations, the relations of
people to the environment, the
overcoming of all forms of oppression,
the radical democratization of all
social relations,
the abolition of all states, the
elimination of private productive
property, and the private ownership of
children. He foresaw an international
society with no
>> Hang on. Hang on. What was that?
What did he just say?
Not only the elimination of private
productive property,
but also
the private ownership of children.
Did everyone catch that? Don't worry,
we're going to watch it again. Hang on.
Hang on. We're going to go back a little
bit. Yep. Private ownership. I keep
telling you guys when they say private
property, they mean parental rights.
This is why there are so many attacks on
parental rights. All of the attacks on
parental rights are coming from this
idea. It is literally in the communist
manifesto. Everyone owes me a $2 super
chat.
Let's get this clip.
>> That was like 20 seconds into the video.
20 seconds.
>> Get the politics straight.
So to understand the transition period,
we must first of all understand what the
goal is. So just briefly, Karl Marx was
a revolutionary. His goal was the
replacement of capitalism by communism,
not the superficial modification of
capitalism. His critique of capitalism
was extremely radical, covering gender
and sexual relations, the relations of
people to the environment, the
overcoming of all forms of oppression,
the radical democratization of all
social relations,
the abolition of all states, the
elimination of private productive
property, and the private ownership of
children. He foresaw an international
society with no money, no prisons, no
oppression, no exploitation, no economic
classes, and no borders. All this was
connected at its core to the seizure of
economic and political power by the
working class, those who worked for a
wage.
>> All right,
is everyone clear? Everyone clear? I
said a lot of the quiet parts out loud
in uh in that one, didn't they? not only
about the nuclear family, but also about
all the other things that they consider
to be problems under capitalism,
including borders. Of course, you can't
have private property without having
borders. That is why the left is
attacking ICE currently and trying to
sabotage everything they're doing. But
let's focus back on the nuclear family.
We can talk about borders another day.
That's just another little aspect of uh
of what the left believes. We're not
going to cover that today. As a
reminder, guys, if you have questions,
please make sure you put them in the Q&A
tab. I will be taking all questions. We
are almost through our full
presentation. So I will be taking as
many questions as you guys have in the
Q&A tab at the very end. I do have a
couple more clips I want to show you.
This is a clip again from this is a
conference that was hosted by the
community colleges of California. So
this was a taxpayer funded conference in
California where they are explicitly
talking about queering the nuclear
family and how problematic uh the
nuclear family is to them.
The nuclear family is that restrictive
family model that consists of two
differently gendered adults in a fertile
monogous relationship living together
and raising their biological children.
So in other words, a monogous
heterosexual couple and their offspring
living together. And that nuclear family
vision was constructed to fit the needs
of a capitalist heteronormative
patriarchal and white supremacist
society. It was built in the 19th and
20th century for an industrialized
capitalist system. One person stays at
home to do the unpaid labor so the other
can work as many paid hours as possible.
In sociology, we call this the the
breadwinner homemaker model. Uh it's
patriarchal because women are expected
to stay home, work for free, and be
economically dependent on men. It
naturalizes a version of femininity as
fixed and satisfied with this nurturing
role and a version of masculinity that
is fixed and that rejects care work in
favor of taking care of business. Um,
it's heteronormative because it
naturalizes that differently gendered
division of labor plus other pillars of
heterosexuality like monogamy and
separation of friendship and romantic
relationships. Uh, it's part of white
supremacy because it centers a family
structure that's most common in white
families and stigmatizes other types of
families, whether they be extended or
dispersed or single parent households or
matriarchal structures, etc. that are
more common in bipok and immigrant
communities. These traditions have deep
cultural and emotional significance, but
are too often viewed as pathological
because they deviate from this nuclear
model. So, as we can see from that
leaked Roe v. Wade decision, like
they're coming for all of our rights.
They're trying to force everybody back
into a heteronormative patriarchal box,
but the model they're trying to force us
all into has been unraveling for
decades. Even straight people are
bailing on it. Next slide, please, Rob.
So across sexualities and gender
identities, people are increasingly
seeking relationships of love and
intimacy and care that exist beyond
these heteronormative family structures.
Uh this is what uh Judith Stacy and
others have called queering the family.
So this nuclear family model is not able
to meet people's economic, cultural or
emotional needs. It was never intended
to. Uh, capitalism has turned that bread
winner homemaker model into the dual
earner model. All adults work outside
the home to pay the rent, buy groceries.
Women are expected to work the second
shift for free, cooking and cleaning,
bathing kids, etc. And you're expected
to pay for child care because you're
gone all the
>> Okay, so you can see them talking there
about again this is pretty overt. They
see capitalism and the nuclear family to
be directly related. The last clip I
want to show you just to beat this dead
horse. This is actually a very recent
clip that I just got a couple weeks ago.
I infiltrated an organizing meeting of
the Seattle Revolutionary Socialist
where they were talking about queer
liberation. And wouldn't you know it,
but the abolition of the nuclear family
was at the center of queer liberation.
So again, when they say queer, they're
not talking about being gay or trans.
They're talking about an anti-
capitalist far-left political ideology
that is designed to fundamentally
destabilize normativity. You just heard
in the previous clip, they're talking
about cis heteronormativity, it
basically means the same thing. These
mean the cultural norms that uphold
capitalism. So, anytime you're talking
about abolishing gender, anytime you're
talking about abolishing the nuclear
family, what they're trying to get at is
the cultural model of capitalism. And
you're going to see the uh Seattle
revolutionary socialists say this
overtly in their talk about queer
liberation.
The existence and acceptance in society
of queer and trans people is a threat to
the social narrative that the ruling
class uses to uphold the structure of
the nuclear family. An exploitative
structure they created for their own
ends. They attempt to uphold that
structure by propagating narratives that
women and men are inherently different
from each other by nature, that sex and
gender are the same thing, and that
people who transgress these fabricated
boundaries are at best sick and at worst
predatory.
In a word, bullshit.
>> Where it is that the origin of like
oppression of queer people, both trans
and also gay people. You know there's a
common origin and you know in terms of
the nuclear family being a very useful
tool for reproducing new workers and
having a system in which to train them
through specifically women's oppression
in the form of making them handle like
the term you used was reproductive labor
which is a term that we Marxists use to
describe just like everything that it
takes to train and raise and otherwise
uh prepare the next generation of
workers after they're born.
I hear a lot of rhetoric online and
especially like, you know, in right-wing
circles of like abolition of the nuclear
family and they want to come after
traditional gender roles and traditional
nuclear family and like one man, one
woman and the kids and the dogs and the
two and a half fences or whatever it is.
And they kind of paint it as if that uh
husband, wife, two and a half kids and a
golden retriever is like how it how it
is, how it's always been, and how like
it's just human nature. It's just the
way it is. Um but when I first kind of
started you know exploring Marxism and
read Angel's book um on the origin of
the family it really is you think about
the nuclear family and it was yes it was
essentially created to send men to work
in factories for low wages and high
output and then was meant to keep women
home um isolated so that they can't
independently organize and then also you
know raising the next generation of
workers so that they basically have a
complete endless flow. And when you look
at the nuclear family like that in an
honest lens, um abolition of the nuclear
family doesn't sound so big and scary.
And it's just it's these little pieces
and these little, you know, uh specific
phrases that get taken out of context to
make Marxism seem like this kind of evil
scary thing. But in reality, like, yeah,
abolition of the nuclear family is part
of uh liberation for women, liberation
for queer people, liberation for trans
people. Um so yeah, I think that's a
really interesting topic. Thanks y'all.
>> So, the reason I wanted to play that
clip in particular was, you know, you
just hear once you hear these clips back
to back over and over and over and
again, I have a massive archive of these
clips. I have the some of them archived
on my Substack. We have a lot of them on
the YouTube channel. I have thousands of
hours of this stuff documented via
Socialism Saturday, spy streams, things
like that. But once you hear the clips
back to back to back, you really start
to understand this is not about anything
other than a constant and perpetual
attack on capitalism. And going back to
uh to a slide I showed you at the
beginning of the presentation, let me
just get it up real quick. What I want
people to understand because a common
question I get is, "Well, Carllin, if
everything means capitalism, if
everything relates back to capitalism,
then why don't they just say the word
capitalism?" And you know that might be
a fair question, but what you have to
remember is, and I think this chart or
this meme kind of shows it pretty
nicely. It's not just one aspect of
capitalism. Capitalism has many aspects
that influence society. And what they're
trying to do and what the term
intersectionality means, if you guys
have heard that term before, a very
popular term on the left,
intersectionality is kind of known to
mean all the different ways that you are
oppressed. But I would say
intersectionality is all the different
ways you are oppressed by capitalism
because the left believes that
capitalism quite literally created all
oppression. And so when you're talking
about racism and whiteness meaning
capitalism, when you're talking about
the patriarchy, the gender binary
meaning capitalism, when you're talking
about settler colonialism, which we
didn't talk about today, or Palestine,
which we didn't talk about, these are
related to capitalism. When you're
talking about environmental social
justice, these are related to
capitalism. What they're doing is they
are attacking capitalism from multiple
different vectors. So it's not as though
they can just use the term capitalism
for all of this because whiteness is a
specific aspect of capitalism. The
patriarchy or the gender binary is a
different aspect of capitalism. Settler
colonialism is a different aspect of
capitalism. That's about stealing land
from indigenous people and privatizing
it for exclusive use of the capitalist
or the bgeoa. Palestine is related to
capitalism because it is a
decolonization effort. They don't care
that the far they don't care that that
Israel is Jewish. This is nothing to do
with anti-semitism or Jew hate. The
reason the left supports Palestine is
Palest Palestine are seen as the
oppressed people who are rising up
against their capitalist oppressors.
Environmental justice and climate
change. They believe that the constant
pursuit of the profit motive by
capitalism created environmental created
climate change. It created this
environmental emergency that is very
literally going to kill us all. So they
can't use the term capitalism for all of
these things. But yet every single one
of these things when you dig in deep
about what the left believes, every
single one of these things always comes
back to capitalism. Now we didn't get a
chance to cover all of these things
today because I am trying to do a
shorter introductory presentation for
people who are new to my work. Um but
there are places we can talk about all
of those issues. But what I want people
to really walk away with is this. If you
learn nothing else from the
presentation, I need you to wrap your
head around this idea. And then even
when we get into other areas like
environmental justice or like the
borders or like settler colonialism or
like what's going on in Palestine or
like reproductive justice, if you
understand this component of it, you
will understand what the left is doing.
What the left believes is is that
capitalism, whiteness in this case,
created the gender binary. The gender
binary created the nuclear family and
the nuclear family upholds capitalism.
And if you understand this, if you
understand that all of these ideas are
inextricably
linked, that all of these ideas come
back to the abolition of capitalism,
which they define as private property
ownership, you will understand the left.
Now, I know this might be a little
tricky for people to wrap their heads
around. And again, please make sure
you're putting questions in the Q&A tab.
If you're feeling confused, if you're
feeling like this is a lot of
information, I can completely understand
that. But if you can get down to this
core point, everything else about the
left will become clear at this point.
So, um, I hope I've done a good job of
making that case. We are relatively on
time. I will stay as long as I need to
to answer as many questions as I can. As
always, you guys will be getting a copy
of the recording after the presentation
if you have to take off. Just a couple
more quick things, though. Now, if you
want more information, I do actually
have a longer introductory class. So, if
you would like more information, you can
actually find the longer how to speak
socialist class, which has some of the
clips that we watched in this
presentation. It also has different
clips. It has information about
Palestine. It has information about
borders. It has information about a
couple other subjects that we didn't
touch on today. You can find the how to
speak socialist ondemand class over on
the Substack uh car kyn.substack.com
and just click on the how to speak
socialist link at the top of the
recording and you it will take you right
to this uh this presentation. It's right
at the top of the page. This is 4 hours
long. It goes much more in depth into
clips and stuff like that. I did see a
question come into the Q&A tab of if I
will be redoing the how to speak
socialist class live. Yes, at some
point. But for right now, just access
the on demand class and it's fine. I see
anonymous weirdo in the chat says,
"Sorry I'm late. Thank you, Carlin. I'm
glad you found Adam Green. I appreciate
your work and I hope I can find a
recording of this presentation." Yes,
every single person who is registered
for this presentation. If you're
listening right now in the live
presentation, you will be getting a copy
of the recording. I will also put the
recording up on the Substack. And please
share it, guys. Please share it. I want
to make this information as widely
available to as many people as possible
because once you learn how to speak the
language of the far-left, it's just
really impossible to not see what
they're doing in the world. Couple other
resources and I'm just going to leave
this up as I answer your questions. Here
are places you can find me. I stream on
YouTube, Rumble, Kick, and X Monday
through Friday at 5:00 p.m. Eastern
time. I also do socialism Saturdays on
Saturdays at 6 PM. Socialism Saturday is
a dedicated show to covering the radical
revolutionary far-left, but I do often
cover them during the week as well. The
the the the weekly show is kind of like
it's a mishmash of different types of
content. Oftentimes we do cover the far
left. Sometimes we might cover other
stuff as well. So, make sure you're
subscribed on whichever platform is your
favorite platform. YouTube tends to have
the best chat for my content, but you
can subscribe on whatever platform you
like. You can also find and support my
work over on my Substack and on
decodetheft.com.
I am 100% funded by people like you. And
I want to thank everyone who made a
donation when you signed up for this
webinar. Of course, I want to make my
content as free to as many people as
possible. The way that I'm able to keep
so much of my content for free is
because you guys voluntarily support
what I'm doing, which I really
appreciate. So, if you are in a position

And I will be soon launching a
nonprofit, so you're going to be able to
make taxdeductible gifts for my work.
It's not quite ready yet, but it will be
very soon. And so there'll be more
information about that. Um, but for
right now, if you want to support my
work, those are my best options. if you
would like to bring this presentation to
a group in your community and and I'm
willing to zoom in to different
community groups and kind of do this
stuff relatively low cost um or if if
you want me to travel somewhere of
course you're going to have to pay for
that but like if you just want me to
zoom into your meeting or your group
just reach out schedule a time I'm more
than happy to bring this presentation if
you have local Republican groups
conservative groups parent groups just a
a big group of friends that you all want
to see this presentation let me know I
will be doing more live presentations
that are open to the general public as
well. So, keep an eye on the Substack,
keep an eye on the website, and uh you
will find opportunities to sign up for
those. And with that, I'm going to leave
that up and I'm going to go ahead and
start going through the Q&A tab to take
questions. If you have questions, please
put them in the Q&A tab. It is the only
tab I'm going to be looking at for the
rest of the presentation. So, I'm just
going to go down. Let's see. We answered
Pete's question about the 4hour how to
speak socialist class. You can find that
on demand over on the Substack. Thank
you, Pete, for that question. Are they
going to take away my guns? Actually,
the left isn't really focused on taking
away your guns, Morgan. To be honest,
the left actually does buy guns. The the
left has a socialist gun club groups,
and so honestly, the left is not really
fighting the gun issue right now.
They're much more focused on other
things. I haven't even seen them talk
about guns in a long time. Will they try
to take them away? Yeah, probably. They
want to overthrow the government and the
Constitution, so they're probably going
to try. Um, but it's just not a big
issue for them, at least right now. Um,
that's not to say it hasn't been in the
past, but right now it's not something
that they're really thinking a lot
about.
T uh Tessa says, uh, private property
ownership, I think I remember you saying
that they consider themselves to be the
proletariat. Well, yes. Does that mean
none of them own their homes or have
small businesses? Would any of them
consider themselves to be part of the
bgeois? No. None of them would consider
themselves to be part of the bgeoa. You
have to understand that they are allowed
to engage in capitalism as long as
they're trying to overthrow it. So very
social, very few socialists I follow
actually own their homes. I know that
there's the big BLM scandal with them
using donation money to buy homes, but
you guys have got to understand that
really is the exception. It's not the
rule. It's kind of one of those things
that that muddies the water for
everything else because a lot of the
socialists that I track and follow are
very proud renters. Not that they
believe landlords should exist because
they don't. But all the tenant right
groups that you see all over the
country, tenant right groups are
socialists. They're radical leftists. Um
and so and that the reason for that is
is they don't really believe landlords
should exist. So a lot of them do rent.
They don't want to be private property
owners. That would kind of like that
would sit not sit well with them. Could
they do it? Yes. As long as they're
using their time and their resources to
to try to overthrow the capitalist
system, they are actually allowed to
engage in capitalism. They're allowed to
have businesses. They're allowed to sell
stuff. They're allowed to uh buy
property if they want to buy property.
But you have to understand that this is
all permissible based on the Communist
Manifesto. The Communist Manifesto
literally says we live in a capitalist
world. You have to survive in a
capitalist world. And in order to
survive, you have to engage in
capitalism. And as long as you're trying
to overthrow the system, that's totally
fine. So saying to a leftist like, "Oh,
you bought a capitalist computer or you
have a business or you're selling books.
Why are you selling books?" It's not the
own you guys think it is because the
leftist is going to go, "Well, I live in
a capitalist society. I have to eat. I
have to have a a roof over my head. How
do you want me to do that? I live in a
capitalist society." So they are
actually allowed to do that. But I do
understand why you asked that question.
Chris says, "Once organizations have
declared that their goal is overthrowing
the US government, why are they not
immediately declared a domestic
terrorist organization and hunted down?"
Hey Chris, I think that's a great
question. It's not sadly a question that
I can answer because I am not in law
enforcement and I'm not in government
and no one listens to me. So I have been
showing videos of the far-left talking
about overthrowing the federal
government for literally years. Um they
have hundreds of thousands of views on
Twitter. They've gone viral on multiple
occasions. No one does anything about
it. So, I would love to be able to
answer your question, but your question
is best directed to Donald Trump and uh
the Department of Justice and the FBI
and whoever in the government is making
those decisions because that's not
something I have power to do. My only
job is to show up and to show you guys
what's going on. And if the government
wants to ignore all this because they're
focused on anti-semitism,
then uh then they're allowed to do that.
And so, I would direct your question
there. But I appreciate that you asked
it. Glow So Bright says, "Have you
conducted research on Marxist non-state
armed American factions? Most notable
that exist are John Brown Gun Club,
Socialist Rifle Association, Doll
Squad." Yeah. So those those um I
haven't done a ton of research into
those factions, but those you're right,
those factions do exist. They are
stockpiling weapons. They are training
with weapons. Anyone that believes that
the left does not own guns and that
conservatives has all the guns, that is
fundamentally unhinged from reality. the
the left is planning a violent overthrow
of the government people. I'm not joking
when I say that. So, yes, they have guns
and um yes, we do occasionally watch
them, but not all that much. John says,
"Listening to the linkage of economics
and culture seems to go beyond Marx's
view of cultural flowing from economic
superructures. Has Grampsy's thought
been a serious influence?" So, okay. So,
what you have to understand, John,
you're talking to me about what I call
the dead philosophers, and I appreciate
why you're talking about the dead
philosophers. Okay. So I think the
mistake that a lot of people make when
they're when they're trying to study the
far-left is you immediately go to Marx
or you originally you go to Hegel or you
go to Grahamshy or you go to even Fukco
if you want to get into queer theory and
stuff like that. You go to who I call
the dead philosophers. These are people
who wrote papers and manifestos you know
50 100 200 years ago. And what you have
to understand is the the far-left
activist based the far let me say that
again the far-left activist base in the
United States they are not going
directly based on the original
documents. What's happened is what I
call gain of function Marxism which is
that yes you have the original core
philosophy and yes they do tend to read
a lot of marks but just because Marx
wrote something doesn't mean that's
being applied on the far left today.
Just because Grahamshy wrote something
doesn't mean that's being applied on the
far left today. The reason I have the
methodology I do with only watching
leftist trainings, I don't actually read
any of the philosophy unless I
absolutely have to. The reason I only
watch leftist trainings is I have this
crazy idea that if the left is not
teaching something to each other in the
real world, then that thing is probably
not relevant. And this is what I think a
mistake that a lot of commentators make
is that they go back and they find a
random paper that was published in some
random academic journal 50 years ago
that says really crazy things. And that
paper might be crazy and it might be fun
to read. It doesn't mean that paper is
influential on the far left. Just
because Markx wrote something doesn't
mean it's influential on the far left. I
think today we're dealing with an
ideology that has mutated. Again, this
is why I call it gain of function
Marxism. it has mutated into a weird
mishmash that is not necessarily
directly stemming from people like Markx
and Grahamshy. So I can't answer your
question of like specific papers or
ideas that they have because that's not
how I study. I just look at the far-left
trainings in the real world. I look at
the documents they're publishing today
and I I base my ideas around what they
believe based on the content that
they're creating. Now any evidence of
Frankfurt school influences? Yeah, we
talked about that earlier in the
presentation. John Frankfurt School is
definitely one of the origins of this.
Um they set up shop at Columbia
University in the 1930s and that has
become one of the epicenters for social
justice uh activism and stuff like that.
Um but uh but we do focus on you know
what they're doing in the real world
today. And no problem about the typos. I
make typos all the time.
Bob wants to know, Carlin, would you
please explain concepts of settler
colonialism and decolonization in the
rhetoric of the left in the context of
higher education with demands to
decolonize the curriculum? Oh, Bob,
that's such an easy question. Thank
Thank you for that complicated question,
Bob. That has nothing to do with any of
the content I I presented tonight. Okay,
I'm being a little facicious, but okay.
So, the idea of settler colonialism,
settler colonialism. Okay, if we go back
to the left wanting to abolish
capitalism because they believe that
capitalism is defined as private
property ownership. Settler colonialism
is the idea of an external group coming
in and stealing indigenous land and
privatizing it for their excuse
exclusive use under capitalism or the
boogeoa. That external group almost
always tends to be European in nature.
So it's like it's like you know the UK
going in and and creating an empire. The
UK were the settler colonists in India.
The United States are considered to be
the settler colonist. We are considered
to be the settler colonists in the
United States because the settlers came
in and took the land from the Native
Americans and put the Native Americans
on reservations and we colonized the
land in the United States. That's one of
the reasons the left wants to overthrow
the government and the constitution is
the United States is considered to be a
settler colonial nation. Israel is
considered to be a settler colonial
nation. They consider Israel to be the
ones that came in and stole the land of
the Palestinian people, privatized it,
made it exclusively for Israeli use.
That is why the left is against what's
going on in with Israel. It's not
because they're Jewish. It's because
they stole the land from the
Palestinians. In the context of higher
education, this gets a little
complicated.
In the context of higher education
essentially the left believes so you got
to remember so the left does have a lot
of power within the university system
but their power is primarily on the
academic faculty side there is another
side of higher education and I worked in
higher education for about 10 years
there's another side of higher education
that um basically is the administration
side and the administration and the
faculty fight all the time and so when
we're talking about the colonization and
the decolonization of higher education.
What that tends to be is the faculty and
the students who are usually radical
revolutionary leftists fighting to
overthrow the capitalist demands of the
institution. An example of this might be
that the left is pissed off that
colleges perceive the job of uh the of
the college to produce future workers.
So if you go to do a college website and
they have something like, you know, 98%
of our students get a job within 6
months of graduation, what the left
would say is you're looking at college
as a way to prepare people for the
workforce. You're looking at college as
a way to prepare people to perpetuate
the capitalist model. That's what they
might mean when they're saying
decolonization. That it's removing
capitalism from the institution. They
may also say decolonize the curriculum
which is to only tell stories from the
perspective of the proletariat or the
the oppressed not from the oppressor
point of view. This is the basis of uh
Howard Zinn's people history of the
United States. So that's kind of what
they mean. I I will go into that more in
depth in another class or another
stream, but I do appreciate you uh
asking the question.
Brian says, "Saw your presentation on
animism." Well, that's different than
this topic. Have you researched the
origins of progressive social movements?
Um, so well, so, okay, I do not
recommend Tick History. I'm going to be
honest. So, Brian, I I see you
recommending Tick History in the
comments. I uh I do not recommend them.
Hang on one second. Hang on. Hang on.
Hang on. Getting a phone call. Giving a
presentation.
We'll call you right back. Hang on. So,
uh, so I don't recommend Take History. I
do I did watch one of Tick History's
videos and honestly I found it to be so
absurd and it sounds like it's the video
you are referencing in the in the
question which is the video
aboutnosticism. It was absurd. Maybe
Tick History has some really good videos
that I haven't seen but that one was not
hinged into reality at all. So no, I
don't recommend that one.
Reagan has a question. I have two quick
questions for that newbies might be
thinking about when they start learning
this. See Reagan's always so helpful.
Thank you, Reagan. And happy birthday
everyone in the chat. Wish Reagan a
happy birthday. Again, she is spending
her birthday here with us trying to
teach people about socialism. Reagan is
a tireless warrior to try to get this
content out there and I really just
appreciate her. Number one question, you
see socialists with expensive laptops
and engaging in capitalism. Why do they
do this when they hate capitalism? Oh,
and why can't they just move to a
socialist place? So, we kind of answered
this question earlier. Socialists are
allowed to have expensive laptops as
long as they are doing the business of
trying to overthrow the capitalist
institution. Why can't socialists just
move to a socialist country? Because
they want to enact socialism here in the
United States. They are never going to
move to Venezuela. They're never going
to move to Cuba. They believe that the
United States needs to fall to socialism
to get other countries to fall to
socialism. They do want a global
socialist uh world essentially.
Remember, the left doesn't believe in
borders. borders are private property.
So, uh, so they they don't believe in
borders. So, of course, they want
socialism to be everywhere because if
socialism is everywhere, they think it
has the most chance of success. So, they
are not going to leave to go to a new
country. Um, they want to do it in the
United States and that's part of what
they're doing. Number two, aren't we
dealing with a bunch of Oh, Reagan, I
love that you asked this question. Isn't
the left just a bunch of losers and
mentally insane people that don't have
jobs? Not only did the left have jobs,
the left controls all the unions. So the
unions are a very big part of socialist
organizing. It's not a subject we got
into tonight, but the unions are a
massive problem when it comes to
socialist organizing. Now, not everyone
in a union is a leftist, but everyone
who controls the unions are leftists,
and leftists utilize the unions all the
time for uh to recruit and radicalize
more people to their cause. So, I
appreciate uh you discussing that. Jane
says, "Can you discuss the unions? I
just did a little bit." Glow so bright
says, "What is the common slurs used
such as calling perceived enemies Nazis,
fascist, white supremacist, colonizers,
and variants of cryptonazi?" I mean,
those are kind of all the words that
they use. Um, but what you have to
understand glow so bright is literally
all of those words are references to
capitalism. So Nazis, fascists, white
supremacists, colonizers, cryptonazis,
literally all of those are references to
capitalism. So uh so I would just not
pay attention when anyone calls you a
name, honestly, because you just got to
learn how to deflect that stuff. It
doesn't matter.
Victory over symbol uh symbolism. Does
the confusion with CRT, critical uh race
theory, originate from the left? Um
well, no. Critical race theory is all
about studying systemic racism. So
systemic racism again is the system that
upholds racism. If you get into uh the
woman that we saw in the presentation,
Cheryl Harris, who wrote the paper
whiteness is property, she's a critical
race theorist. If you look at she
studied with Derek Bell, Derek Bell is
one of the original inventors of
critical race theory. And so when you're
talking about critical race theory,
critical race theory is all about
understanding systemic racism in this
country. systemic racism is a reference
to capitalism because systemic racism is
the institution that upholds racism. And
again, anytime they're talking about
whiteness within critical race theory,
they're talking about capitalism. If you
again read my book called A Brief
History of Racism, I actually go through
quotes from several critical race theory
scholars where they're flat out saying
it's capitalism, capitalism, capitalism,
capitalism, capitalism over again. So,
that's a good resource there. Who is
Grahamshy? Ramshy was the originator of
the idea of the long march through the
institutions. So the whole idea of
taking over the institutions bit by bit
over the course of decades, which is
exactly what the left has done. Um that
originated with Grahamshi, that's not a
topic I talk about a lot. And and by the
way guys, the reason I don't talk about
the philosophers, it's not that I don't
think the philosophers are important. I
do think they're important. It's just
that there are so many other people
covering that. So there are a million
people who have written about Grahamshy.
There are really millions of people
who've written about Marks and Angles
and Hegel and uh Dereda and Fuko and and
even Butler. Although we do cover Judith
Butler quite a bit. Um because Judith
Butler's alive and she's still speaking.
That's why we cover her essentially. But
because there are so many people who
cover the philosophy, I took a different
tactic with it, which is I want to cover
what the left is saying and doing in the
real world right now. And so that's the
tactic that I took. And um and you know
for better or worse
don't know if this got asked this is
Julian and answered yet but it seems to
be a common question. Are they going to
take away my toothbrush and my dog? So
yes it did get uh asked Julian. This is
the reference to personal property. So
when I reference that the left says I'm
not going to take away your car. I'm not
going to take away your toothbrush. I'm
not going to take away your dog. That is
the trick that they're playing between
personal property and private property
where um where they're going to tell
you, "We don't want your personal
property. We just want to take away the
bgeois property." Well, the bgeois
property means your ability to own a
home, your ability to own land, your
ability to own an apartment rental, your
parental rights over your kids, all that
stuff that we talked about earlier. So,
uh that does seem to be critical
resource theory. I don't know what
critical resource theory is. Victory
over symbolism. I've never heard the
left talk about that. Um, but uh but I
do know critical race theory, which is
how I frame that question. All right,
that's it, guys. That's all we have for
Q&A. Thank you again for coming out for
the live presentation. If I answered
your question too quickly or if you
didn't get you you didn't uh get a full

literally just the tip of the iceberg.
This is just an intro course. And so if
you're feeling a little bit overwhelmed,
that's perfectly normal. But just know
there's a lot more to learn and I will
