So let's talk a little about the thing we've actually been fighting. If you follow me, you know I put most of it down to Communism (or Bolshevism), but that's an abbreviation for convenience. "Communism" is a 20th-century thing. We're fighting a Communist-Fascist hybrid. 🧵
We'll obviously have to explain what Communism, Fascism, Bolshevism, and Sovietism all are to really understand the thing we're actually up against (and making headway against!), but let's start by pointing out that today's grand global evil is a blend of these things.
Our job today isn't just to stop Communism. It's to stop Communism and Fascism packaged as one, although either aspect of that union can be pushed to the front at any given time, like a one-two punch combination. The WEF and CCP are both Communist-Fascist hybrids on a new model.
I've described this new model in a talk in which I gave it a ton of names, including Communo-Fascism, Corporate Communism, Corporatist Communism, and, probably best, 21st-Century Communism. It's a new model of Communism for a new century.

Another relevant term that has to be understood to get this is "Dengism," which is short for "Deng Xiaoping Theory." Dengism is the basis for the current model in China and was developed in the 1970s-1990s there in conjunction with American interests.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deng_Xiao…
Deng Xiaoping inherited a broken Chinese economy from Mao Zedong and, being a pragmatist, sought to make China's economy work no matter what. For some set of reasons, some better than others, Rockefeller, Kissinger, Brzezinski, and even Klaus Schwab helped Deng build a new model.
Deng's idea was "Open Up!" He called it "one country, two systems." The idea was to maintain the Chinese Communist Party control and model but to update Marxism to a new model with a new "Theory of Productive Forces" (Lenin) borrowed from National Socialism and Fascism.
The result is a model that takes the Communist political theory, ambition, political structure, and long-term vision (a fully realized Communist global order) and makes itself productive by placing a Fascist economic program under the hood, so to speak.
In practice, the CCP owns all land, raw materials, and heavy industrial capital and has total control over the Chinese economy and its players, but individual actors get to use that state-owned capital to make as much money as they can, thus unleashing the productive forces.
Because the "means of production" (land, raw materials, and heavy industrial capital) are all owned by the PRC, which is controlled by the CCP, technically the Communist Party still owns (has seized) the means of production. You can get rich, but only at the pleasure of the CCP.
What does this have to do with the West? Simple: the People's Republic of China is the beta test for the hybrid model ("21st-Century Communism" or "Corporatist Communism" or "Fascist Communism" on Mussolini's definition), and we're implementing it kind of upside-down with ESG.
ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance "social credit" scoring for corporations run by large index fund firms) is the Chinese model being implemented without a dictatorship like Deng Xiaoping controlled, but it's also being implemented upside-down, to constrain production.
The primary purpose of ESG scoring is to limit and constrain the productive forces in the West, especially energy, food, and transportation, plus education as a long-term program. It's to slowly capture capital into a Dengist 21st-Century Communist-Fascist hybrid model.
There are reasons this model is being used to crush Western economies while allowing the Chinese economy to rise, but we need not get into them here. The point is that this model is slowly happening here (same system of "public-private partnership) while selling us out.
The short takeaway version of this model of Communism (plus Fascism) for the 21st century is that there are two systems in play, one Communist (redistributive and transformational) and the other Fascist (state corporatist), and they're working as a hybrid against liberty.
Fascism, as Mussolini had it, outside of his blatant idolatry of the state (see: ), was continuous with "corporatism," in the sense of a state-corporatist (and cronyist) fusion where people can get rich in business by serving state interests in particular.newdiscourses.com/2024/01/fascis…
When you see the blatantly and exposed as Communist Democratic Party doing much of its Communist implementation through corporations (beholden to their ESG scores) and huge financial institutions, you're right to call them Fascists, not Communists. What gives? They're both!
Only by understanding that Communism picked up Fascism, as was tested in the People's Republic of China under Deng Xiaoping Theory, as orchestrated in part by the same globalist Westerners who run things like the WEF and UN, can you understand how today's Communism works.
Most of the tactics they run are Bolshevik in nature, pushing divisive agitprop into all domains of society in order to destroy rivals one by one and consolidate more and more power to themselves through their current mass-line effort ("the current thing").
The system they're building and installing is ultimately Soviet (council-run) in nature. The Soviet (governing council) is determined by fealty to the prevailing Communist theory, just like Lenin and the Bolsheviks insisted it must be. They're the Vanguard of the revolution.
In the PRC, that vanguard is explicitly stated as the CCP under Deng Xiaoping Theory and it is the CCP in practice, unquestionably. In the West, it is the "stakeholder capitalist" model described by Klaus Schwab, which the World Economic Forum was created to implement over 50yrs.
In the PRC, the "stakeholders" are the CCP and its leadership. In the West, the "stakeholders" are the cronyist corporate leaders and their bought politicians (Gates, Soros, Fink, Schwab, Kerry, British Royals, etc.). They're creating an ideological governing council (Soviet).
The Stakeholder Soviet, which meets in Davos every January, at least in part (there are other dimensions to it too), is meant to implement the Fascist side of the "Western Dengist" model so that our entire corporate power base enacts its agenda with small businesses (kulaks) lost
Obviously, the E and S parts of ESG implement directly Communist programming like DEI (Western Korenizatsiya), equity (Western "actual equality" aka total and cultural socialism), and Degrowth to a managed and centrally planned "circular economy," but through corporatism.
The G part of ESG establishes the Fascistic relationship, or, identically, if you want, the Sovietist programming, inside the Western Dengist corporate model, which mirrors the 21st-Century Communism in today's PRC under Xi, running off Deng (plus Kissinger and Rockefeller).
And this is the thing we're actually fighting back against and, not trivially, beating. It's Communism and Fascism at the same time, a whole new Beast unleashed upon the world, and we've been engaged in exposing and destroying its chances for control for years.
Americans and other free people in the world reject Communism AND Fascism and fight them at every turn. We've already been proving that for several years now, but we're getting to the truly dangerous part now. This is not going to be an easy 1-4 years.
Currently, in the name of fighting the Communist hand of this hybrid beast, conservatives, primarily, are being lured into adopting its other hand, which is Fascism. Both programs are part of the same program and end in the same place, though, so this is a trick we must avoid.
If you find yourself wondering if Fascist answers to the questions of the day are the right answers and solutions to our problems, it's time to realize you've already been fighting against a Fascist takeover (from the Democrats and RINOs) for years. Clearly, they are not.
To understand this big picture, I encourage you to watch this entire lecture series I gave earlier this year in Dallas to a packed house. It's extremely dense and rushed (probably needs to be twice as many lectures, plus a book), but it's a start.

In a manner of speaking, though not literally, every Communist eventually ends up in the gulag he built to imprison and reeducate others.

Why?

It's because every powerful person in a Communist-like regime is vulnerable to baseless accusations of hypocrisy they cannot survive.🧵
In some sense, there are two types of societies: free and tyrannical. There are also two types of tyrannies: those run by warlords and what we might call Virtue Paradigms. While Communists can be as brutal as warlords, they run Virtue Paradigms.
As some will recognize, I'm borrowing from my brilliant, insightful friend @PardyBruce here in characterizing political orders as being based in freedom or virtue. My claim is that all political Virtue Paradigms are intrinsically vulnerable to baseless accusations of hypocrisy.

The key and most important difference between Woke and not-Woke is deeply philosophical. In fact, it's a metaphysical orientation, which is to say a worldview. It's anti-realism (Woke) versus realism (not). That's perception precedes reality versus reality precedes perception.
The Woke worldview is anti-realist. It believes that perception precedes reality. Obviously, few people are fully committed to this position or have a developed awareness of it, but it boils down to that in varying degrees. Believing perception defines reality means Woke.
There's more to it than that, though, because the actual definition of Woke is simple:

Woke means (woke up to) critical consciousness.

A critical consciousness is critical. Critical of what? Power and how it structures perception thus structures reality ("lived reality").

What has always distinguished America as a nation is that it has always worked to reject an ethnonationalist conception of itself, as was encoded in our founding documents. Americans are a people in a place but a people who unite around the idea that ethnos isn't who we are.
America is exceptional. It's the greatest nation in the history of the world. America is exceptional because it has a completely different conception of itself than every other nation on Earth. It is not an ethnonationalist project but one built on self-evident truths.
You can turn to Stalin or Hitler or the 1924 English dictionary or any other sort of source you want and look up "nation" and find that it carries at least ethnonationalist connotations ("a specific people..."), but in so doing you miss America completely.

Heard a rumor people at The Blaze might have taken Milo up on his bad information and are planning to publish an "expose" proving Mike O'Fallon and I have ties to the CCP. Let's hope they do. It's all nonsense, will cost them their jobs, and will let Mike tell a fun story.
I don't know what Milo thinks he got, probably some old financial document, but Mike has never been shy about telling people that various CCP-affiliated people used to be his clients until he broke with them in 2013. In fact, it's his main point of credibility.
Mike is a travel agent. He coordinates travel, tourism, events, conferences, and such, and he has done for over 20 years. Until 2013, he had clients in the WEF and CCP set who wanted various things, and Mike worked with them until he realized they were up to big bad things.

I didn't want to do this today, but, let's because it's a thing.

Vance: “One of the things you hear people say sometimes is that America is an idea. America is not just an idea. It is a group of people with a shared history and a common future. It is, in short, a nation.” 🧵
The Woke Right and its adjacencies are pushing what we might refer to as "the national question" pretty hard now, so we had better look into it. They're uprooting American patriotism and replacing it with nationalism, which is tactically a serious error, as I've discussed.
Let's talk about Vance's definition of nation.

Vance: [America] is a group of people with a shared history and a common future. It is, in short, a nation.”

Put differently, "A nation is a historically constituted, stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, economic life, and psychological make-up manifested in a common culture."

Is that an accurate summary?

Over the coming months, we're going to see a concerted effort from the Woke Right to rehabilitate Karl Marx, though not exactly. This has begun already, of course, so I'm not predicting so much as describing a trend in motion. You'll still be shocked by it. 🧵
The Woke Right actually accepts much of Karl Marx's work, particularly what they refer to as his "critiques of liberalism and capitalism," but they "disagree with his conclusions." In other words, they think Marx got the analysis right and that it can be used for different ends.
I insist they don't understand Marx or his critiques, and they share his lust for power (libido dominandi), which is what they actually resonate with. Since Marx's actual arguments are all means to the end of Marxist power, the Woke Right can just insert themselves similarly.
