a book by James Lindsay

(our site's book review)

Critical Race Theory Is a Reinvention of an Older, Terrible Idea, Marxism, but Using Race in Place of Economic Class

The Amazon blurb says that #14 AMAZON BESTSELLER! As seen on The Joe Rogan Experience and The Glenn Beck Program.

Critical Race Theory is one of the hottest and most controversial topics in the world today, but what is it, really? Rightly understood, Critical Race Theory is a reinvention of an older, terrible idea, Marxism, using race "as the central construct for understanding inequality" in place of economic class. That is, Critical Race Theory is Race Marxism. The evidence of this claim is so overwhelming upon even casual examination that it is a shock that it isn't immediately plain to everyone who encounters it. Therefore, this book by James Lindsay, the leading investigator of Critical Race Theory, serves less to make the case that Critical Race Theory is Race Marxism and more to serve as a long permission slip to the public to call Critical Race Theory what it plainly is.

Critical Race Theory is Race Marxism, and, Like All Marxist Theories Before It, It Will Not Work This Time Either

Race Marxism: The Truth About Critical Race Theory and Praxis exists to tell the truth about Critical Race Theory in unprecedented clarity and depth. Across its six weighty chapters, Lindsay explains what Critical Race Theory is, what it believes, where it comes from, how it operates, and what we can do about it now that we know what we're dealing with. It exposes Critical Race Theory for what it is by ranging widely across its own literature and a survey of some of the darkest philosophical currents of the last three hundred years in Western thought. Readers will come away understanding Critical Race Theory and be able to speak the truth about it with authority: Critical Race Theory is Race Marxism, and, like all Marxist Theories before it, it will not work this time either.

Critical Race Theory is Race Marxism, and, like all Marxist Theories before it, it will not work this time either

Critical Race Theory is Race Marxism, and, like all Marxist Theories before it, it will not work this time either. This doesn't mean that Marxism hasn't had a tremendous effect on our world, of course. The horrors of the 20th century were perpetrated by Russian and Chinese Marxism, Japanese power lust, and German fascist Naziism. But Russian and Chinese Marxism were not real Marxism. They were experiments in which Marxism was used as a pseudo-guiding principle for the exploitation of a great mass of people by power hungry mass murderers. Real Marxism was to fight inequality to result in a classless utopia of equals.

Marxism Works on Paper, but Not in Real Life

That is not what either the Russian or the Chinese version of Marxism was. The masses of people were exploited (including murdered sometimes) for the glory and power of a leader and his accomplices, using ideas from Marx as a cover. No one is compassionate and wise enough to actually even attempt to pull off classical Marxism. But even if they were, there is a problam. Marxism works on paper, but not in real life:

Karl Marx should have left his ivory tower occasionally and found out how real people act. His socialist theories worked great on paper, but not so good in real life. Scientific fact #1: people work better if they get rewarded (i.e., capitalism)

Dinesh D'Souza tells us that climate change fear is the ruse needed to get the public to sign on to full socialism. When the commies tried socialism, which involved people motivated to work hard for the good of the collective, it turned out that rather than working hard, comrades began hardly working. The problem turned out to be motivation—you didn't get more if you worked harder or less if you worked less hard. So it was only suckers that worked hard. Karl Marx should have left his ivory tower occasionally and found out how real people act. His socialist theories worked great on paper, but not so good in real life. Scientific fact #1: people work better if they get rewarded (i.e., capitalism), and being part of a collective that is working at something is simply too abstract a motive to push anyone to work hard.

The American Dream is that if you work hard you can get ahead and succeed, getting your slice of the American Pie

The Left Doesn't Call It Tyranny or Fascism When They Act Tyrannically—They Call It Social Justice

The American Dream is that if you work hard you can get ahead and succeed, not that if you work hard you can watch your community and your country avoid starvation. So commies motivated with fear of various kinds and it all became very oppressive and unpleasant and authoritarian. You might notice that the leftist activists are doing the same—being very oppressive and unpleasant and authoritarian to anyone who thinks for himself, has any non-PC ideas, shares any conservative (therefore evil and 'racist'—which is poppycock) ideas, etc. In short, these fascists are telling people to do what they say or they'll be cancelled and oppressed and punished. They don't call it tyranny or fascism when they act tyrannically. They call it social justice.

As the crazed radical leftist wacko snowflakes work their way into even more hysterical frenzies, will this be their next victim? The ultimate but hypocritical virtue signalling that is really Marxist hate in disguise

"Socialism . . . will always fail. And that’s because it’s a flawed system based on completely faulty principles that aren’t consistent with human behavior and can’t nurture the human spirit. . . . Socialism is the Big Lie of the twentieth century. While it promised prosperity, equality, and security, it delivered poverty, misery, and tyranny. Equality was achieved only in the sense that everyone was equal in his or her misery. . . . The failure of socialism in countries around the world can be traced to one critical defect: it is a system that ignores incentives." (Source: Why socialism always fails, Mark J.

Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States has sold more than 2.5 million copies. It is pushed by Hollywood celebrities, defended by university professors who know better, and assigned in high school and college classrooms to teach students that American history is nothing more than a litany of oppression, slavery, and exploitation. It is a treasonous lie from cover to cover. It is a study in Race Marxist values. The book has been assigned in high school and college classrooms to teach students that American history is nothing more than a litany of oppression, slavery, and exploitation.

1620: A Critical Response to the 1619 Project sums up what the critics have said and argues that the proper starting point for the American story is 1620, with the signing of the Mayflower Compact aboard ship before the Pilgrims set foot in the Massachusetts wilderness. A nation as complex as ours, of course, has many starting points, most notably the Declaration of Independence in 1776. But the quintessential ideas of American self-government and ordered liberty grew from the deliberate actions of the Mayflower immigrants in 1620.

When leftist wackos target Pilgrims (who landed at Plymouth Rock—shown), Thanksgiving, and Christmas, the real target isn’t really the Pilgrims and Puritans, it’s faith, family, and patriotism—it's America; the quintessential ideas of American self-government and ordered liberty grew from the deliberate actions of the Mayflower immigrants in 1620


Most conservative schools reject the racist 1619 lies as a load of horse droppings

Schools Across the Country Have Already Adopted the Ugly, Racist New York Times’ Radical Revision of History (in The 1619 Project) As Part of Their Curricula

Schools across the country have already adopted the ugly, racist New York Times’ radical revision of history (in The 1619 Project) as part of their curricula. (Most conservative schools reject the racist 1619 lies as a load of horse droppings.) The stakes are high. Should children be taught that our nation is a four-hundred-year-old system of racist oppression? Or should they learn that what has always made America exceptional is our pursuit of liberty and justice for all?

Race Marxism: The Truth About Critical Race Theory and Praxis is a direct counter-assault to the scholarship of the contemporary race grifters poisoning our society throughout our colleges and ultimately our broader population. Author James Lindsay has researched this movement through his deep study of the abhorent scholarship of those people who thought this CRT nonsense up. It is a peer review of woke CRT foolishness that is long overdue and a great service to our society. The book is a must-read for anyone that wonders what the hell happened to American society and who gave these monsters this much power! This book unmasks the linguistic manipulations of Critical Race Theory, so readers may become better equipped to identify and push back against this ugly, treasonous mind virus.

IF WE DO NOT organize against treasonous Race Marxists and just keep on truckin' with business as usual, here is what we can expect: There is an old saying that life's a poop sandwich except that they don't actually furnish any bread. But we heard a new version of it on The Middle (© ABC) the other day: In the immortal words of Mike Heck, We're all born with a crap sandwich. Some people get a big one. Others get a small one. You eat your way through it and then you're dead.

American Marxism Will Impoverish Us All—Except the Liberal Elite Utopianists in Charge

It's not just that "Every promise made by the proponents of neoliberalism is a lie." The very idea that we expect Big Daddies to furnish us anything is flawed. It was obvious from the start that they—in spite of rosy rhetoric to the contrary—are only interested in what they can take from us. This progressive "getting" idea needs re-examination in the cold light of realism. Mike Heck expects he'll at least get bread with his crap. But after reading Chomsky's incredibly insightful book, Requiem for the American Dream: The 10 Principles of Concentration of Wealth & Power, we can clearly see now what we can expect from the "they" who we think are looking out for us. Oh, we'll get the crap sandwich all right, but there simply won't be any bread. Heck was too optimistic. American Marxism will impoverish us all—except the liberal elite utopianists in charge. Only they will get bread and meat, and pickles—and no crap at all!

We can clearly see what we can expect from the "they" who we think are looking out for us. Oh, we'll get the crap sandwich all right, but there simply won't be any bread, however, there will be crap painted to look like bread, cheese and pickles

Critical Race Theory Is Communism Packaged in a Deceitful Way to Indoctrinate Young People

This book gives the reader an accurate picture of the real truth regarding Critical Race Theory. It is Communism packaged in a deceitful way to indoctrinate young people. Parents, teachers, school boards, and school administrators throughout our country should be reading it.

What the end result of Critical Race Theory will be if we do not wake up

"If we are being frank, James Lindsay’s book Race Marxism: The Truth About Critical Race Theory and Praxis is describing a vast conspiracy theory. It sees Critical Race Theory as a conspiracy to overtake governmental, legal, administrative, and cultural institutions through brainwashing and coercion (both covert and overt). It is full of secrecy and obfuscation, nefarious goals, and shady characters. If one wasn’t able to see (or didn’t want to see) that these things were going on before our very eyes, one could easily dismiss James Lindsay as a paranoid crank and hysterical conspiracy theorist.

"But we do see it happening before our eyes. And James Lindsay, in Race Marxism: The Truth About Critical Race Theory and Praxis, points to the words penned by the very shady characters themselves to support his conspiracy theory. Just because something is a conspiracy theory doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t true.

"All in all, I think Race Marxism: The Truth About Critical Race Theory and Praxis is an important book. While I disagree with some of what James Lindsay offers as solutions (mostly in the details), I think it is vital that people understand what Critical Race Theory is and what it wants. This book spells out the ideas (and ideology) of Critical Race Theory in as plain a language as you are likely to find on the subject. For that alone it is worth its price."
