Found this amazing book review in the fourth issue of National Review (1957), “Integration is Communisation” by Richard M Weaver—he saw gay race communism’s for what it was, from the very beginning.

Thread 🧵

“The Supreme Court's extraordinary dictate to the public schools promises to keep race relations inflamed for an indefinite period. It is therefore to be expected that there will be a continuing spate of books from "liberal" sources, filled with self-righteousness and preaching the funeral of what is pejoratively called "discrimination."

“In his discussion of race relations in South Africa, he notes that Communism is there being progressively redefined in racial terms. That is to say, Communism is coming to be identified in racial integration.”

“The Communist attitude toward race stems from Communism's positivistic representation of man, which has always had as one of its cardinal tenets the dogma that there are no real differences between people except economic differences.”

“Remove the economic differences and all the others -racial, cultural, social, and moral. disappear. Thus the collectivizing of the economy can be depended on to obliterate the various differences that keep people from being "socialized."”

“…the Communist tactic most aggressively used in this country now is the one hinted at by Mr. Kuper--the approach through the idea of "racial collectivism."

“This phase of the levelling or obliterating process can now be presented with a great deal of moral unction. Moreover, it has the tactical advantage of undermining our historic constitutional structure.”

“The common people often perceive elemental things which the over-educated cannot see. That they have been right in identifying this as the opening tactic of Communism in this country now seems beyond question.”

“We can observe in a number of areas how "racial collectivism" is being used as a crowbar to pry loose rights over private property.“
