Let's do a little homework on the group, Red Nation, platformed here at the University of Minnesota. "Revolutionary socialism is the primary political ideology of the Red Nation." therednation.org/revolutionary-…
“I firmly believe that the philosophy of my ancestors lines up quite tidily with the philosophy of communism. I make no apology for my principles.”
Looks like they're explicitly Marxist and openly seditious.
"Marxism is a tool for making revolution, first and foremost. But it is a useless tool unless wielded properly by the oppressed."
Destroy, destroy, destroy.
"Socialism is the natural state of humanity, to live and work towards peace and justice."
This is the theology of Marxism, which is ultimately Gnostic-Hermetic. It is a spiritual ambition to elevate ourselves so we can remember who we really are (God).
They're even more tedious in writing than on stage. But they really hate the United States.
They're so stupid.
"Marxism is not European. Socialism is Indigenous.
"Marxism is founded on the expropriated knowledges of non-capitalist Indigenous societies."
"Even for Indigenous peoples in the Americas, the concepts and theories of decolonization explicitly derive from Marxist revolutionary movements."
Well, there you have it.
"Like our ancestors we must be forward-thinking..., not to make Indigenous traditions relevant to Marxism or socialism but to make socialism and Marxism relevant to our struggle as Indigenous peoples."
This is the dumbest paragraph I've ever read.
They're really selling it!
"The United States is not a “nation of immigrants” but a nation of colonizers."
They really hate the United States. Of course, they openly say themselves that decolonizing is violence, so we know what to expect from them. Again, this is at the University of Minnesota.
"Immigrants don’t come in chains; you can’t immigrate to a land you already belong to; and refugees fleeing imperialist violence are not immigrants."
There's a lot going on here.
"Today, because we adopt revolutionary socialism as our struggle and vision for a free society, we are the second coming of the “Red Scare.”"
When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
"Yet, in alliance with other colonized and oppressed peoples, we can take state power, not to become the new rulers of a capitalist society, but to use the mechanisms of the state to wage our rightful struggle against our class enemies—the rich."
Oh, ok.
I wonder what they're suggesting here. Anyone over there at @UMNews want to take a guess?
@UMNews The rich and powerful are almost the only people pushing these things. They're so stupid. Probably operating on a Rockefeller grant or something. LOL
@UMNews "Indigenous liberation is the tip of the spear."
No, I think I'm the tip of the spear.
@UMNews "Only through creating a revolutionary organization can we hope to facilitate decolonization on the path towards socialism."
This part looks very serious and seditious.
@UMNews "We do, however, support policies and office-holders (even our own members if elected) that work against the interests of colonialism, capitalism, and the ruling classes, while maintaining socialist revolution as the only solution."
Ilhan?
But socialist revolution is sedition.

Why is there an active measure being played on the term to assign its definition in the opposite direction to what it originally was meant to point to? Because the targets need to get it off of them before it sticks.
There are at least three things to which "Woke Right" could possibly refer, and the activism is in the ambiguity. Best not to trust people who aren't trying to be clear in their terms in such cases, of course. 1) Proto-fascist Right 2) Classical Liberals 3) RINOs
Tbf, none of these terms is particularly clear in itself, and none of them covers the idea of a conservative managerial type who supports an administrative bureaucracy, though I think RINO comes closest on that point. None quite captures the "you hurt my feelings" vibe either.
The theoretical concerns laid out by Marx simply couldn't be actualized. They were cult-religious nonsense that simply wasn't practicable and was based in all these ideas of history inevitably moving in particular directions. It's the foundation, though.
Communism 2.0:
Lenin (et al.?) develop the Vanguard model (or stagist model) of implementing Communism by having a purposed bourgeois-but-Communist Party seize the means of production to transform society through the forced inversion of praxis (a Marxist concept).
I did this thread on critical constructivism (the right name for "Woke") last night, and I'm grateful it has received over half a million views so far. One thing I didn't detail is how hostile to science critical constructivism is. The sciences weren't ready for its attack.
I don't think any of us are under particular illusions (except the Very Smart People, maybe) that science is being attacked by Woke very successfully, but I suspect most people don't have any idea how it works conceptually or practically. We should talk about these factors.
For those interested in or concerned about this, or really if you're anyone at all, I strongly recommend this four-part podcast series I did about the conquering and retooling of the university, particularly the sciences, by what amounts to this ideology. newdiscourses.com/2022/10/strang…
Idk who needs to hear this, but "Christ consciousness" is not Christian, it is occult. It is most prominently a part of what is called New Thought, which is a Gnostic-Hermetic "New Age" cult of theosophy that has been mainstreamed in American/Western pop-culture by Oprah, et al.
"Christ consciousness" does not refer to being conscious of Christ, or having a felt experience of Christ, as a part of a Christian faith. It refers to having the same enlightened consciousness New Thought ascribes to Christ as just another of its claimed historical masters.
Jesus, according to New Thought, was a historical man with Christ consciousness. So was Buddha. So are the Dalai Lamas. So are many others. "Christ consciousness" refers to the Hermetic principle of renouncing the world and attaining awakening in the second person of God yourself
There's a right name for the "Woke" ideology, and it's critical constructivism. Critical constructivist ideology is what you "wake up" to when you go Woke. Reading this book, which originally codified it in 2005, is like reading a confession of Woke ideology. Let's talk about it.
The guy whose name is on the cover of that book is credited with codifying critical constructivism, or as it would be better to call it, critical constructivist ideology (or ideologies). His name is Joe Kincheloe, he was at Magill University, and he was a critical pedagogue.
Just to remind you, critical pedagogy is a form of brainwashing posing as education that is the application of critical theory to educational theory and praxis as well as teaching and practice of critical theories in schools. It comes from Paulo Freire. newdiscourses.com/2023/12/critic…
I recently went on a deep-dive exploration of the term "gender" and its history as it pertains to Woke so I could figure out what it really means. What I found out actually surprised me.
It doesn't mean anything at all. It's a completely ideological contrivance.
Historically, for over a century, people have used the term "gender" to mean "sex," a kind of polite synonym for that particular biological status that doesn't happen to be exactly the same word as the activity people do when they're getting down with one another.
The term seems to have been an import from grammar, where certain words are said to have a gender (masculine, feminine, and sometimes neuter), which is not really much of a feature of the English language but is common in others like Latin, French, Spanish, Italian, and German.
