Any local, County, State, or Federal using public resources to promote Marxism should be immediately defunded and closed. Eventhough DEI, Critical Race Theory and Environamental Sustainability initiatives are similar in language and ideology to Marxism, they use contempory social and environmental causes to anchor their movements in continuous contention and would be banned under a different effort. Marxism should be identified in all these newer social justice and ESG movements, but be addressed separately under bans of DEI, CRT, and ESG.
The underlying invention behind DEI, Critical Race Theory and Environmental Sustainability is Marxism, where a population relinquishes its rights as individuals in order to have greater equality experienced as an aggregate. Marxism is about removing liberty and controling how citizens think about everything.
Banning Marxism can be enacted to simply stop any promotion and funding of the ideology of Marxism using public resources. The objectives are to stop any publicly funded entity that promotes Marxism, to reverse course of the way government employees manipulate and coerce constituents, and stop the promulgation of the philosophy and ideology as legitimate.
This Ban would also include stopping Federal grants to Non Profits that disguise their charity under a perceived beneficial effort, but use Marxism and Collectivism as its operating principle or charter. Private individuals who want to pursue Marxism privately or within a group of private individuals who can support the ideology on their own without Federal or State grants can do so. Not having access to public grants means they can exercise their choices but receive no support from the public sector for doing so. They learn to do it as a peaceful fringe group, using the free market system to support themselves, but leave alone and not impede the business or freedoms of all naturalized citizens who believe in the US constitution and the free market.
Many people are describing the ideology behind current events as Marxist. It’s not. Marx addressed class disparities created by capitalism. Black Rock, Vanguard, the banks, World Economic Forum are capitalists. The ideology they are embracing is fascism, but it’s underpinned by an ideology called technocracy. See Patrick Wood’s work on this. There’s no way that elite economic interests would ever embrace Marx. They want to establish a fascist technocracy.
Unfortuneately, main street USA, particularly on the Left Coast, perceives the answer to this Facism and technocracy as Collectivism, and organizes their charity work and advocacy around collectivist principles. People who believe in strong communities, should seek to rebuild them using entreprenuership, private donations, personal pledges, and investments and private contracts, and can continue their relationship with wealthy philanthropists without Fed, State or local grants and withoout public-private partnerships. Providing for the “General Welfare” has been abused by the left, and used as a weapon in a fascistic manner at the grass roots level through the entire Left Coast. This is why Newsome and Inslee were and are able to get way with their tyranny of California and Washington State. They are clever enough to disguise their Fascist policy making as acts of progressive kindness and fairness. The entire leftist pyramid scheme is controlled by the players you describe, and it is time to call it what it is when you encounter it locally: MARXISM!
As a Marxist scholar, though not a Marxist ideologue, I can say that Marx wouldspin in his grave to know his name in such vain though. The Occupy Wall Street movement and the Tea Party movement should have worked to find common ground. Those were both class-based movements. It really bothers me that today’s “left” is so hateful toward the working class, and not just the white working class, though they do demonize them more. But f course the oligarch’s aren’t going to embrace anything seeking to promote the interests of workers. They’re pushing AI and robotics anddiscussing what to do with what they term the “useless class.”
