The most important moment of the debate was the stark contrast between Trump wanting to stay open and Biden wanting another shutdown

The American system is a mixture of ochlocracy (mob rule) and oligarchy

Wall Street gives 5x more to Biden than to Trump

“Neoliberalism” is a useless term for describing the current ruling system, and so is “cultural marxism.” Gramscian socialism is slightly more accurate

Class struggle failed because Marx’s economic predictions didn’t come true. Working class experienced major gains from 50s to 70s in the West, rejected the marxoid left, voted for Nixon. Left felt betrayed & abandoned workers

The global oligarchy, the occupational class, is New Left in orientation. New Left vs Old Left is Tony Blair, Ibram Kendi and woke corporations vs Stalin, or Foucault vs Marx

You cannot be a leftist and be anti-establishment because all shades of the left are tolerated by the establishment, while the hard right is actively purged and suppressed.

There has been an attempt to redefine the frog revolt in leftist terms. Immigration & race are the key issues that reveal the fakers & usurpers. Marx’s prediction about the pauperization of the working class is coming true bc of immigration, but the new left won’t touch it

The left's reversal on immigration

The new left is a superior historical understanding of Marxism because Marxism was never about justice for workers and the poor, it has always been about inversion. Transfer of wealth to the global south

Marxism is a desire to replace one civilization with another - James Burnham

Continuity between Marxism and modern identity politics: F. Roger Devlin book on Alexandre Kojève. Kojève replaced desire for material equality with desire for universal recognition, this is what informs new left identity politics

Convergence of marxism & capitalism not accident. They are at bottom same thing, reduction of man to mere economic & material being. Both Marxism & capitalism r driven by similar desire 2 reduce human to a walking stomach & reduce world to global tenement of economic calculators

The hidden impulse of Marxism is the revolt of the chandala, the outcast, the biologically ill-formed, the low, against the high, the healthy, the beautiful. Primary targets: the family and the white race

Ethnicity always trumps class identification, the left learned this from experience such as in Africa and Asia

Nietzsche quotation from Twilight (38 my concept of freedom)
gutenberg.org/files/52263/52…

When you coddle what is weak and deformed, you stifle what is strong and beautiful. It is so inside you and also within a society

Desire to fight, also compassion for the weak & the poor are noble motivations that are perverted by the left. Leftism is pseudo-rebellion & false compassion which does not actually help ppl it claims to care about, what Buddhism calls “idiot compassion”

“Capitalism or communism” is a false dichotomy. Join The Caesarist party of healthy and honest demagogues!
