Great information. It gives a perspective on everything going on in this crazy world. It shows us where this nonsense will lead. It is scary when one thinks of the perimeters of this type of authoritarian, communist state. Yet, I keep faith in my beliefs and the goodness of humanity. I also know fighting is a likely option. When called upon I will stand my ground.
He cautions against over reacting in the identity politics phase. However I assume if it moves beyond that phase it is because the maoist marxism has provoked us to violence. That should be avoided as that is their goal. However think on this I've never seen so many young people in church. I hope it is that way in your faith too. Who knows the cultural revolution may lead entirely opposite to what they intend.
Lisa, I totally agree with what you are saying. It is best to use the best logic and rational to counter their requests. It is not about blindly following. If they are forcing you to make a quick decisions, there is a problem. If the requests are not clear in nature, there is a problem. If they are shouting emergency, it is prudent to understand as much as possible about the emergency. If the resolution to emergency is unclear or very restrictive, or has no clear timeliness say no.
A belief is so important at this time. It does not need to be formal. It needs to be a supportive community.
The vile Che Guevara, for all those rhinestone leftists who stupidly think they will skate thru this:
"I know the campesinos support us now; but when we come to power, they too will have to be liquidated.""
The late Dr. RJ Rummel, Univ. of Hawaii (I know... TOUGH job. But SOMEONE has to do it, right?) said governments, mostly socialist, murdered possibly as high as 170mm last century. The Black Book of Communism, Courtois, et al, put the number by communists at ~100 mm.
When the crop yields fell and the death toll rose, the Maoist regime began a campaign of denial, doublespeak, torture, and mass murder. The secretary of the Xinyang district wrote: “The problem is not that food is lacking. There are sufficient quantities of grain, but 90 percent of the inhabitants are suffering from ideological difficulties.”
The more I listen to this, the more f-ing brilliant it becomes. I wrote in a Facebook post:
"'Woke' is Marxism on steroids. Marxism wants to equalize material & economic well-being. 'Woke' adds social & cultural capital to its redistributionist idiocy. Below." Below, where I linked it, I added: "LawyerLisa, where this is embedded, writes some great stuff. Yet another great Substack. But here it is (incredibly) on YouTube. And it's actually the best 30-minute explanation of 'Woke' I've ever heard." And then I added, "The more I listen to this, the more f-ing brilliant it becomes. This is a masterpiece."
I see why you suggested listening to it more than once and why it should be spread far and wide. Thank you, Lawyer Lisa.

Brilliant article and succinct video. Sadly EU and UK are executing the Kalergi plan to a tee
Yup 🎯
