1/ 1n 1989, The New York Times ran an article explaining that:
-Marxism was mainstreaming in U.S, colleges. (pic 1)
-Marxism was mixing with feminism, deconstruction and race theory (pics 2+3)
-The Marxists were surprised at how easy it was for them in Universities.(pic 4)
2/ Here is a link to the entire article.
Keep in mind this article was published on October 25th 1989, just 16 days before the fall of the Berlin wall on November 9th, 1989 and a little more than 2 years before the USSR dissolved on December 25, 1991. nytimes.com/1989/10/25/us/…
3/ You see, in the late 80's the academic left in America wasted no time in rehabilitating the political philosophy that created both the Gulag concentration camps and the Holodomor (the intentional starving of at least 3 Million Ukrainians by the Soviet Union)...
4/ For example, in 1993 Victor Villenueva spoke at the Annual Meeting of the National Council of Teachers of English (pic 1) and gave a talk (which he said aimed at those who thought the failure of the Soviet Union did not prove Marxism was unworkable) about how to read Marxism.
5/ you might wonder "Why is someone lecturing about how to read Marxism at a conference for teachers of english?"
The answer as that even as the bodies left behind by communism were still being counted, Marxists were trying to spread their evil philosophy through the academy...
6/ This is like if someone had said the philosophy of Hitler still had merit and wanted to teach it to public school teachers...while the concentration camps were still being freed.
Yes, it's that bad.
Communism is, without doubt, the deadliest ideology in human history...
7/ According to David Satter writing in the Washington Post, the ideology of Communism killed over 100 Million people.
This was not an accident. Martyn Latsis, an official of the Cheka, Lenin’s secret police, in a 1918 instruction to interrogators wrote: wsj.com/articles/100-y…
8/ “We are not waging war against individuals. We are exterminating the bourgeoisie as a class...Do not look for evidence that the accused acted in word or deed against Soviet power. The first question should be to what class does he belong...that should determine his fate.”
9/ The historian Tony Judt, Writing in the New York Times wrote that "Those very features of Nazism that we find most repellent have now been proved endemic to Communism from its inception."
10/ And yet the genocidal ideology of Marxism continues to be treated respectably. Rather than being shunned as the repugnant evil it is, in academic circles it is seen as a mark of sophistication to think Marx philosophy had nothing to do with the evil committed in its name
11/ Make no mistake, Marxism is an ideology of power, vengeance, and resentment that covers it's resentment under a veneer of empathy for the poor, hides it's lust for power behind a facade of seeking equality, and launders it's lust for vengeance as a quest for justice.
12/ Just because Satan Masquerades as an angel of light doesn't mean we give him the keys to the kingdom of heaven, and just because Marxists act as though they are doing philosophy doesn't mean we pretend we don't know where the path they seek to go down will end.
13/ Stop cowering before the watered down credentials, ridiculous academic jargon, and dishonest rhetorical tactics of people who want to intellectually humiliate you so they can demoralize you until you comply with their ridiculous demands.
Enough.
14/ Time to stand up, push back, and run this evil genocidal ideology out of our institutions.

2/ Woke activists operate through reputational destruction. Their strategy is to accuse you of being violent and doing harm while tarring you as a "racist," "sexist," "bigot," "homophobe," or "white supremacist."
They have no good arguments, so they attack your character.
3/ Another tactic is to have a double standard in regards to judging a protest.
They insist woke protests be judged by the best intentions of the most articulate protestor, and non-woke protests be judged by the actions of the worst person who happens to show up at the protest.
1/ Woke education activists have decided that during math class *5th graders* should learn to, and I quote: "challenge the hegemonic structure of marriage."
It's not just Critical Race Theory, they're bringing woke gender theory into k-12
Gender theory in k-12:
a thread🧵
2/ This comes from a paper by Christopher Dubbs, education professor at East Stroudsburg University.
Dubbs wants k-12 teachers to use queer pedagogy (teaching methods) and to engage in "Queering Mathematics."
The key words for the paper are, of course, "equity" and "diversity"
3/ I will explain everything going on here so you can understand exactly what's happening.
Most people think the goal of a math teacher in k-12 is to teach math: to teach students how to do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
1/ I know most of you aren't Christians but in this argument between @DennyBurk and @bethallisonbarr, beth provides a perfect example of "linguistic sleight of hand."
Beth goes after @DennyBurk for saying she denied "inerrancy" (the idea the Bible contains no errors of any kind)
2/ @bethallisonbarr claimed @DennyBurk was not being honest (pic 1) so Denny came with receipts and explained why he said she denies inerrancy.
This is where the *sleight of hand* comes in.
NOTE THAT THE DISAGREEMENT IS ABOUT **INERRANCY**
That word *INERRANCY* matters here...
3/ Because look what she says next:
-commitment to biblical authority
-the bible is divinely inspired
-it's is God-breathed
-it's useful for teaching, correction, and training in righteousness
- she beleives it
- she affirms the gospel.
2/ "Critical Social Justice" (CSJ) was clearly defined in the book "Is Everyone Really Equal?" by Ozlom Sensoy and Robin Diangelo. That definition, and it's explanation, are in the screenshot below.
saying CSJ a "made-up term" that "doesn't mean much" is simply false.
3/ The authors of that book are not unheard of either. Robin Diangelo is a tremendously influential scholar whose book "White Fragility" spent at least **97WEEKS ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER LIST**, and her work has been cited thousands of times by academics:
Hi Matthew, since you follow me, I know you'll see this.
I have a few questions about the thread quoted below where you claim "the anti-CRT propaganda machine" attacked city Grove college over a 6 minute video.
This appears to be, how shall we say, not the whole story...
The Parent of mixed race student was upset that the Dean, Justin Rose, apparantly spent the RA training time talking about white guilt and, says thebstudent, his wife admitted she was a racist and said others should do the same...
Another parent says there is a "Diversity Council" pushing the book "Reading While Black."
While a third parent is concerned about making Irbam Kendi's book "How To Be Anti-Racist," central to an education class.
My problem Matthew, is that you didn't tell the whole story...
Further, we need to bring blowback against the woman who is trying to get the Pilots Fired.
It is not enough for the pilots to keep their job, this cancellation attempt needs to blow up in the face of the woman who tried it.
It needs to backfire so she doesn't do it again...
These people need to learn that this will cost them something. It can cost their reputation, goodwill, getting ratio'd. Anything (so long as we don't get them fired...we can't just cancel back cause that makes cancel culture worse) what matters is that it blows up in her face...
