Neo-Marxism combined with Intersectionality makes the US discriminatory, incompetent, and unjust.
The nice thing about being an American citizen used to be the peace of mind that came with knowing that the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights would ensure that everyone was supposed to be treated under the law with equal protection and due process.
Throughout the 20th century, Americans fought against totalitarian Nazi, militaristic and Marxist regimes in Europe and Asia to defend and restore freedom and democracy to the oppressed.
Old-line Marxism applied by Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Ho and Pol Pot sought economic justice for the “proletariat” (poor factory workers, destitute peasants) by making them owners and bosses in theory. In reality, the real bosses were the Communist Party members who managed to wreck the economy while spreading the misery of poverty to everyone but the Communist cadre themselves.
Learning from the failure of the economic justice farce which led to the collapse of the Soviet Union, Marxists avoided extinction by evolving their ideology into various forms of Neo-Marxism from Red Capitalism in China to the Neo-Marxism seeking “environmental justice” in Western Europe. In the US, the Neo-Marxists found “social justice” as their cause célèbre because, in a pluralistic society, one can always exploit identity politics to find some people in some minority groups who somehow feel they are being mistreated or oppressed. The American Neo-Marxists create aggrieved proletarian type classes out of them to demand “social justice” and further advance a totalitarian political agenda.
Identity politics practitioners in the US currently divide Americans into different groups-or- sections- based on race, gender, religious practice, and sexual orientation and treat each group differently according to the group’s perceived level of being oppressed as a minority (or a particular section of society.) Groups are ranked from being the minority most oppressed to being the worst oppressor of their respected section, such as:
On Race: Black, Native American, Hispanic, Asian, White.
On Gender: Transgender Male to Female, Transgender Female to Male, Female, Male.
Religious Practice: Atheist, Non-Christian other than Jew, Jew, Christian.
Sexual Orientation: Homosexual/ Bisexual, Heterosexual.
Intersectionality is a term that is being used to indicate an individual’s level of oppression by combining that person’s ranking on a scale of sections listed above. By these subjective criteria, a Transgender M to F, Homosexual, Black Atheist is supposed to be the most oppressed person in the USA today and therefore deserves multiple concessions from others in order to receive “equity” for “social justice”.
American Neo-Marxists conveniently employ identity politics and intersectionality to identify their purported proletariat in need of “social justice reparation”.
Unlike the old Marxist demand of economic justice, America’s Wall Street and corporate boardrooms don’t feel threatened by social justice demands; furthermore, some businesses see opportunities to make money by “restoring environmental justice” (as has happened at the European Union) and/or getting good public relations from promoting “social justice” in the US. Neo-Marxist activists, with support from Big Business, have gradually taken much control of the Democrat Party, the US Government, academia, and the media. These areas of society have inserted the “Woke” practice of DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) in everyday hiring and firing at the above-mentioned institutions to achieve “social justice” for the intersectional oppressed proletariats while disregarding and/or violating the people’s protections under the Bill of Rights.
DEI requirements disregard individual talent and achievement, abandoning many crucial job requirements to employ and promote people based on their intersectional standing. Over the last few years, the USA has become a discriminatory, incompetent, and unjust country to many of its citizens as a result of those insidious standards.
The following two cases epitomize how unjust our system has become:
1- Claudine Gay, a black female professor. She was chosen to lead Harvard University with much less stellar track record on academic productivity and leadership skills compared to her predecessors. She recently resigned after having given insensitive and inept answers regarding potential violent anti-Semite demonstrations and threats against Jewish students on Harvard’s campus. She was pressured to resign only after multiple examples of academic plagiarism were made public. One can’t help but suspect that her race and gender helped get her selected per identity intersectional politics.
2- Donald J. Trump, a white male, former President of the United States, now the leading candidate for President in the Republican primary contests. He is the only American citizen who is beset with litigation in City Court, District Court, State Court, and Federal Court for various so-called criminal transgressions during the same election cycle. Clearly, Mr. Trump is at the very bottom of the identity intersectional political scale. One can sense that the legal system is being misused against Mr. Trump in a blatant example of election interference. Just as Martin Luther King once proclaimed: “Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere”.
Unlike Rev. King, who wanted people to be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin, the American neo-Marxists have made a mockery out of the Bill of Rights, turning the US into a discriminatory and unjust society.
This November, all American citizens should use their ballots to banish the Democrat Neo-Marxists from power to make the USA once a gain a free, fair and righteous country.
