The Woke Opiate
"Systemic Racism" is the centerpiece of the Progressive Left's ("Ruling Elites") Woke Identity Marxist's' "long march through the institutions." Systemic Racism promotes the notion that America's, and Western Culture's, "original sin" is racism that is, Western Civilization was founded on racism- Racism is baked into Western Culture's origins, the framing of governing documents, and social structures.
And therefore, American and Western Culture must be completely dismantled ("critical equity" refers to the total leveling of the West following the "long march through the institutions," i.e., the infiltration of Western Culture's "superstructure," religion, family, education, law, and media, by Woke Marxist ideology.
The leveling of the Democratic Republic of America and Western Civilization, makes way for the rise of the Marxist Socialist State, the prelude to a Communist Regime. The Party's "emancipation," i.e., the Progressive Left's rise to absolute power, justifies their all-consuming drive for power- The quest for perpetual Power supersedes socialism, racism, identity, everything, on the Ruling Elites' politically correct agenda.
Perhaps Lincoln's ominous prediction is on the West's cultural horizon: "If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
Why do Americans, and conscientious people throughout Western Culture, need to read this book? The answer requires only a single sentence: In the preface of a 1947 Ukrainian edition of Animal Farm, George Orwell observed how susceptible to totalitarian propaganda are "enlightened people in democratic countries" - a primary purpose of The Woke Opiate is to provide the reader with clarity and meaning in a world obsessed with deliberately coloring outside the lines of reality.
