Let's talk about @KamalaHarris saying "to see what can be, unburdened by what has been." This phrase, which she repeats all the time, is not mysterious. It's esoteric. That is, it's occult. It's a Marxist and Luciferian incantation, and that's easily seen.
What "esoteric" means here is that it has a hidden meaning. It looks and sounds like goofy nonsense, but it isn't. People who know, know. That is, it's coded and Gnostic in its formulation and the principle she's articulating is ultimately Luciferian/Hermetic, a la Marx.
We can set aside the hand gesture she typically makes while uttering this incantation, although we shouldn't. It's blatantly up on the right (what can be, a worldly utopia) and down on the left (unburdened by, or liberated/emancipated from the mundane status quo). Image
Let's have a look at Karl Marx issuing the same idea. Here he is at the punchline of the Communist Manifesto explaining that when the proletariat organizes itself and executes a revolution, it can move forward into what can be (Communism) unburdened by class antagonisms. Image
Here's how Marx opens the Communist Manifesto, though: "The history of all hitherto existing society" [what has been] "is the history of class struggles." That's precisely what he says a Communist revolution would emancipate [unburden] Man from in the punchline, though. Image
In other words, Marxism itself, in its own manifest declaration, identifies it as being able to move into "what can be, unburdened by what has been," and socialist/Marxist consciousness is a Gnostic awakening to "see what can be, unburdened by what has been." Straight Communism.
A few years earlier in his Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts (1844), Marx expresses the same idea, comparing "crude Communism" to true, transcendent Communism. It's [becoming unburdened by] private property "as human self-estrangement" through "positive transcendence." Image
The general theory (theology) of Marxism is that Man is burdened by what has been, which is called his "historical conditions," but can awaken to his true (socio-spiritual) self, which is socialist, so that it can be transcended. "To see what can be, unburdened by what has been."
Here, earlier in EPM, Marx is explaining that awakening to a social(ist) consciousness (that is, man's true nature) has a transformative capacity to unburden/emancipate the senses to "see what can be, unburdened by what has been," rather literally. This is what it's really about.
Image
Image
Marx characterizes "what has been" as an "exoteric revelation of man's essential powers" to build a future for himself emancipated from his own historical conditions. That is, "to see what can be, unburdened by what has been" is an ESOTERIC incantation making this meaning visible Image
Exactly the same mentality appears in Queer Theory (Queer Marxism, so no surprise). "Queerness is not yet here. Queerness is an ideality." It's a "horizon imbued with potentiality." Being "Queer" means being able "to see what can be, unburdened by what has been." Image
How clearly does it have to be written to see it?
"Queerness is a structuring and educated mode of desiring that allows us to see and feel beyond the quagmire of the present. The here and now is a prison house."
The goal is to reach "what can be, unburdened by what has been."
Exactly the same sentiment is expressed in CRT through "antiracism." An "antiracist" society is one that can see or imagine "what can be, unburdened by what has been," meaning the history of racism and racial antagonism and injustice, which are our "historical conditions."
The sentiment Kamala Harris repeats endlessly, seemingly weirdly, is an esoteric incantation of societal and human rebirth (that is, a cult) that has manifested in such human paroxysms as the French Revolution, all Communist revolutions, and Lucifer's revolt against Heaven.
Lucifer sought "to see what can be, unburdened by what has been." God had created the perfect order in perfect Plenitude, but the angels had no free will beyond their first choice to accept or reject. Lucifer, in his pride, rejected, "to see what can be unburdened by" Heaven.
In the French Revolution, the goal was to establish a wholly new society that would have a new calendar, new government, new everything, starting at Year One. They were going to see what could be for the French people unburdened by what has been in French society. Disaster.
The French Revolution was actually modeled after Oliver Cromwell's Glorious Revolution in which the radical Puritan faction in England would aim "to see what can be, unburdened by" the chain of royal succession and divine right of kings in England. Murderous disaster.
It's worth knowing that Cromwell called his great experiment "The Great Protectorate," so that we can reflect on how much Kamala Harris's "what can be" is predicated on "safety" in our own day. Of course, the French called it the Committee for Public Safety too.
While every Communist revolution, like Marx indicates, is a revolt against what has been in the hopes of achieving a utopia only the cult can "see" (or "imagine"), is also a complete social rebirth, it's most obvious in Pol Pot's Cambodian Revolution with its "Year Zero."
Cromwell, the French, the Bolsheviks, Pol Pot, Mao, and the rest were all leading people to see "what 'can be,' unburdened by what has been." The death and rebirth of self and society is precisely the goal, and that's what Kamala Harris routinely channels (incants).
Today, we have the Great Reset. That is, a Great [What Can Be, Unburdened By What Has Been]. That's how a reset works. You unburden yourself from what "has been" and start over. It's the same exact program in essence, though not in mechanisms and details.
Though this thread is already very long, it's worth pointing out that Klaus Schwab's (WEF) most recent book is essentially a long manifesto of how we can move into a new world by "[seeing] what can be, unburdened by what has been" (here: shareholder capitalism and GDP growth). Image
The objective of the so-called New World Order is precisely that: a new circular economy focused on "wellbeing" that's managed by "enlightened" stakeholders (what can be) unburdened by shareholder fiduciary responsibility, profit, and individual achievement (what has been).
I'll sum up here, though so much more could be said. We're undergoing a global French (or Communist) Revolution, which will have disastrous results. Kamala Harris chants the Marxist/Luciferian incantation of that evil agenda: "to see what can be, unburdened by what has been."

Woke Right Lie of the Day

"Marxism is not Woke; Woke is not Marxist."

This is a pretty hilarious Woke Right lie that I've already partially addressed (linked in next post threaded below), but I want to get under the hood of it a little more because it's important (and funny).

First of all, yes it is. Marxism is an opportunistic parasitic ideology* that has only one agenda: to seize the means of production of man and society by any means necessary. It literally defines both truth and ethics in terms of this agenda.

Marxism is an operating system; a worldview; a way of viewing the world and behaving in it (theory and praxis). It is not a set of conclusions, a specific analysis, a set of analytic tools, a set of tactics, or really even just an ideology (see * above). It's a totalizing worldview based intrinsically on the conflict of contending classes as a means of reaching ultimate social, economic, cultural, and political synthesis and "return of man to himself as a social, i.e., human, being" bringing with him the benefits of "all the previous stages of development."

Woke is a manifestation of that parasitic worldview trying to make the leap to infect a new "species" of society, namely free, liberal societies running with individual liberties and free enterprise. Marxism was only successful before Woke at installing itself by force or by subverting feudal systems, not "capitalistic" liberal ones.

Think of it like a real virus like bird flu. Bird flu infects birds. It does not infect humans under normal conditions. It is evolved to attack weaknesses in bird biology and to exploit receptors on bird cells, but these don't readily cross over to other species. Sometimes, there's a trans-species leap from birds to people, and we end up with avian flu or bird flus that can infect humans, and they're usually pretty nasty. In fact, all flus originate from this species-jumping phenomenon, which designates them specifically as a kind of plague (a disease for non-human animals that evolves to infect humans). Plagues are usually really nasty and bad and can be far deadlier than typical human-borne diseases (like common colds).

Marxism is a plague ideology in this specific sense overall, but we're focusing on Woke. Though Marx didn't realize it as he outlined it, thinking he was talking about specific classes in capitalism (workers versus "bourgeois" management), his ideological virus was really only suited to infect feudal societies at scale, which Lenin ultimately discovered and/or proved. It couldn't infect capitalist, liberal, or free societies, to the great consternation of the Marxists.

(Incidentally, a side-effect of partial forced infection by Marxism in such societies was a rampant and psychotically deranged nationalism called Fascism, which was like a deformed hybrid of corporatist capitalism that adopted lots of Marxist RNA, in a sense.)

Marxism had to make a variety of evolutionary leaps to find receptors in free, liberal, capitalistic societies in order to infect it. Cultural Marxists like Antonio Gramsci indicated that infiltrating the cultural institutions and rotting them from within would soften a society up to going Marxist. The Neo-Marxists identified a need to abandon the working class specifically to focus on other more "vital" centers of revolutionary energy, like Marcuse's sexual and racial minorities. It's a lot to explain how Paulo Freire's liberationist ideas influenced things, but they set the stage for any "marginalized" knowing system to be the basis for a mutated Marxist critique, resulting in favoring "other ways of knowing." Postmodernism amplified that.

These developments are like an unsecured ideological biolab in Wuhan with no reasonable safety protections and eventually a lot of Deep State money that shouldn't have been dumped into them. The result was what we called "Woke" (or "Woke Left"). The receptor sites were specifically identity-cultural points that the post-segregation, post-colonial, post-1960s (not post-WWII) generations were particularly soft and susceptible to under a badly twisted and perverted notion of "tolerance" mixed with heavy amounts of deliberately amplified and exploited generational guilt.

"Woke," which is the Intersectional variant of all of this, which is ultimately best characterized as American Maoism, was the result of an evolutionary process by Marxism, for Marxism, to find a way to get its class-conflict-oriented worldview central in the American sociocultural mind. For those playing at home, Mao was a Marxist. Maoism is a set of tactics he developed for mutating the original Marxist virus to be particularly effective on the Chinese people he was trying to force-infect with it.

So yes, Woke is Marxism, and Marxism is Woke. I'm not going over it again. The lie is busted completely.

It raises the important question, though, of why the Woke Right would defend Marxism from accusations of being "Woke" in the first place (in exactly the same way the Marxist and strictly neo-Marxist Left does, by the way).

The reason is because the Woke Right is not interested in stopping Woke. It is interested in stopping the Left, but it is even more interested in destroying classical liberalism. It's happy to use the Left as the cover for its project of destroying classical liberalism, but that's its real project. Why do you think they call themselves the "post-liberal Right"?

Both Woke Right and Woke Left agree that classical liberalism and individual rights (what Marx and Hitler both called "egotism") have to be done away with completely. They disagree over who gets to do it and how society will be organized. The Woke Left is tyrannical in the name of ending oppression. The Woke Right is tyrannical in the name of installing oppression. This is because the "Left" is radically anti-hierarchy while the "Right" is radically pro-hierarchy.

So the real reason the Woke Right tells this lie is to hide what it's really doing. The Woke Right is attacking classical liberalism in the name of "stopping the Left."

(Incidentally, the Woke Left is doing the same thing. It is attacking classical liberalism in the name of "stopping the Right.")

An essential and central argument from the Woke Right that is part of what makes it Woke is that classical liberalism itself necessarily becomes Communism. If they were to admit that Marxism is a parasitic aberration and attack on classical liberalism that finally found a way to exploit its receptor sites (mostly located in views on tolerance), they would have to abandon their central premise and raison d'etre, which is to destroy classical liberalism (a.k.a., America) in the name of posting up against the Left rather than actually fighting the Left.

(Btw, this is also why they want America defined as a "people in a place" (blood and soil): they have to dislocate what America really represents, which is an experiment in genuine classical liberalism, in order to attack it in the name of "saving" it.)

The Woke Left argues, in parallel, that classical liberalism necessarily becomes Fascism. They both say this is the case because of classical liberalism's focus on individualism, which enables the other extreme by negating the group mentality and group-based "rights" that their side believes is an essential and necessary ingredient in society ignored or suppressed by "evil" classical liberalism.

Both are obviously wrong, but what you have when you have two polar opposing views that both fight the same target in the name of fighting each other is a polarized dialectic. Both its Left and Right pole are trying to undermine and destroy classical liberalism, but both claim their real function is to free us from the evil excesses of the other side. The point of the polarized dialectic is to generate both a fake fight and lots of energy to accomplish the shared goal between the poles, which in this case is the destruction of individual liberties. Obviously, being diametrically opposed, they'll fight (forever) over which side gets to hold power and for which vision, but there's no way off the ride once individual liberties are destroyed.Image
Image
Just for fun, it's worth pointing out that the Woke Right tried to rebrand itself as the "Buchanan Right" (fail!), and Pat Buchanan strongly endorsed Chronicles as "the toughest, best-written and most insightful journal in America." Lol. Lolol. Lololol.Image

They're going to end up wearing the Woke Right label for one reason and one reason only: it fits, perfectly. Yoram Hazony is probably their most eloquent little Wormtongue, and I invite you to read his thoughts. I might respond. Maybe.
theblaze.com/columns/opinio…
It's key that the play now that the term has stuck is to contain it. The Woke Right will now be working overtime not just to get away from the term but to salvage the "Third Way" false moderates who are still anti-Constitution, anti-liberty by distancing from the wild radicals. Image
Image
Yoram isn't just a deceitful scoundrel and a massive nerd. He's also dead wrong. By framing out the problems on the "nationalist" Right as "Woke," because they are, the enemy becomes clear rather than polarized. Woke is the enemy, no matter who does it. Liberty is the goal. Image

Jordan Peterson is absolutely right about the dark tetrad traits and cluster-B personality disorders underlying the Woke phenomena and that they can appear not just in any group but that they'll be particularly attracted like parasites to reservoirs of status, power, and value.
My claim for many years (since 2020 concretely and long before vaguely) has been that the ideological frameworks presented by "Woke" phenomena are in some sense psychosocial extensions of these underlying pathologies, which can "infect" (mind virus) or ensnare vulnerable people.
An important point about these ideological frameworks, viewed as kind of sociocultural games (with psychological components) is that the hierarchies they establish will always be occupied not just by psychopaths but by the most ruthless psychopaths eventually.

I owe the Woke Right a big thank you now. Over the last week, I've posted a bunch of stuff as a way of sussing out what territory they're willing to break themselves to defend, and now I have a decent list of what some of those things are. Gonna be fun going forward now.
Woke Right will go hard to the mat to make sure Gen Z doesn't learn that the 90s were actually really great and a source of stability and optimism, despite not being perfect, for example. They can't have their radicalizable crop understanding there's a better way.
Woke Right has to defend its revisionist history, particularly of WWII, because its essential (lying) argument is that Liberalism and Communism are the same thing. Their revisionism allows them to cast Fascism as the unlikely hero against a fake Liberal-Communist merger.

Wtf is going on with the Woke Right and "Christian Nationalism." This particular manifesto is crazy-pants.
newdiscourses.com/2023/08/wtf-is…
I don't think people were ready for that podcast in August 2023, but a lot more people are now. It goes through some details of their weird organizational structure, secret society network, and ultimately this very weird "manifesto" from "Maximum Leader."
theworthyhouse.com/2021/06/17/the…
No matter how you look at this thing, it's weird. Really weird. Also weirdly Romantic and Gnostic. "The politics of future past." "I am here to give you back your future." "Like Yeats's golden bird, I will tell you of what is past, and passing, and to come." It's a wild ride. Image

Woke Right is mostly a radical movement against Middle MAGA, who they view as a bourgeois element (so, opposed to their plans) made up of classical liberals, Americanists, and mainline conservatives. It agitates Normie MAGA against the middle just like any Marxist movement would.
So what you have is Woke Right waging a power struggle dialectic against Middle MAGA, classical liberalism, America, and mainstream conservatism while also erecting a new Marxian conflict theory of society overall: Managerial Class versus the right-wing populist "people."
If you wondered why a Woke Right publication would accept a rewrite of the Communist Manifesto extoling the "New Christian Right" and against "classical liberalism," this is why. They're doing exactly what the Communist Manifesto is designed to do.
