Critical: applying reason to understand … this is NOT how the Woke operate.

Critical: applying emotions to tear apart … this is what the Woke are and do.

No need to insult Kant needlessly by comparing him to the turds of Marxist lawfare and Marxist racism,

[Wallace T.]

Kant opened the intellectual path that lwas followed by Hegel and Marx. Karl Marx was the of course the founder of Marxism. Specifically for America, the current form of Marxism prevalent in the political financial, educational and media elites is the "social justice" theories first promoted around the turn of the 20th Century by the Northeastern Ivy League colleges and liberal Protestant seminaries, influenced by the German philosophers.

The emphasis on cultural Marxism began with the theories of Antonio Gramsci, an Italian Communist. Gramsci observed that for Communism to succeed, it must first subvert the culture. Lenin and Trotsky succeeded by brute force and military conquest. The arrival of the Frankfurt School professors from Germany in the 1930s was a key point in the spread of cultural Marxism in this country. Gradually. the old school class based Marxists were replaced by the cultural Marxists, who looked at race and later, gender and sexual orientation as the basis for the dialectic, white, male, or straight thesis vs. nonwhite, female, or deviant antithesis. Since the end of World War II, this has been the modus operandi of the Left. In the last 75 years, these theories have spread from the academic world into almost every aspect of American life.
