Unforeseen Contingencies

Here's a quick note on Critical Race Theory (CRT). Critical Race Theory is not a theory; it is a Marxist doctrine that, if followed, leads to brutality, violence and extermination campaigns. How so? The research staff at Unforeseen Contingencies explains.

Karl Marx proposed "ruthless criticism of everything." Marx argued that everything -- every concept, institution,relationship, idea -- should be desconstructed. His idea of criticism was not careful examination, but dismantling. The world could then be reconstructed de novo, from his ideas. Hence he attacked family, religion, normal sexuality, art, and all other aspects of culture. However, he put the greatest emphasis on economics, mistakenly assuming that the mode of production -- e.g. hunting-gathering, nomadic herding, agriculture, industrial production -- determined everything else in society, particularly the formal and informal institutions or rules, and the relations among individuals. He also foolishly thought that workers and employers were implacable enemies, with employers enriching themselves by impoverishing workers. Hence Marx put all his revolutionary eggs in the economics basket, thinking that the free market system would ruin workers and lead them to revolt.

Instead, the free market system created modern economic growth, and began raising workers' incomes and lifestyles to unprecendented levels. The revolution was doomed.

The head of the Italian Communist Party, Antonio Gramsci, caught on to this and realized the workers would never revolt on economic grounds. Gramsci argued that the proletariat had been "bought off" and adopted bourgeois culture, and that the revolution would require new grounds if it were to occur. He proposed culture as the grounds -- race, sex, sexuality, religion, philosophy, art, etc. This theme was also picked up by the Marxists of the Frankfurt School (first of Frankfurt University, and then of Columbia University), who added to it "critical theory," the idea that everything should be deconstructed, subjected to complete criticism a lá Marx. Critical theory is not a theory, but a strategy, a method for tearing ideas apart and destroying them.

CRT itself is a branch of Critical Theory, a form of cultural Marxism, and it is a particularly nasty one, since it promotes race war and race purges. CRT is the basis of the Black Lies Matter organization and movement, an explicitly Marxist organization dedicated to overthrowing Western Civilation (they removed that bit from their website last September, when their accompanying attacks on the traditional family began to attract criticism). Editor/writer Christopher Rufo of City Journal provides details.

That's what CRT is, a doctrine of racism and Marxist revolution. With the removal of President Trump form office, CRT is now being imposed in Federal agencies, in the military, in government school curriculum, and in big corporations. If CRT becomes common dogma, the United States will come to an end. Race hatred, communism, ethno-mathematics that denies such a thing as a right answer, and more... any of these is sufficient by itself to destroy us.

This is genuinely a life-and-death matter. In California, a proposed curriculum for state schools listed Pol Pot as a "heroic person of color." The architect of Cambodia's murderous killing fields was eventually removed, but CRT adopted. But that's where CRT leads...killing fields. It must be stopped and destroyed, and real principles and values must prevail. Now that Unforeseen Contingencies is back in action, we will promote this and explain how it will be accomplished.
