So I've been seeing a lot of pushback about not only my use of the word Marxist, but also just people who agree with me and how we use the term cultural

Marxism. And you know, here's the thing. I see a lot of people saying, Hey, stop calling us

Marxist. Stop calling us Marxist. And they get really angry about it. And I think more, I'm sure there's some of that going on out there.

But I think more often than not, people are calling people's ideas Marxist, not so much calling them themselves

Marxist. I don't think any of the people that I've criticized, except there was maybe one back in that panel that I roasted, but I don't think the majority of the people

I'm criticizing, I don't think that they're self -consciously Marxists. They don't, they wouldn't walk around saying, Oh yeah, I'm a

Marxist. No problem. No, I don't think that, but I think that their ideas are indistinguishable from Marxist ideas.

And so their ideas are Marxist about this issue when it comes to critical race theory and the economics of everything.

But I don't think they're necessarily Marxist, like their secret hidden Marxist or anything like that.

But really the pushback that I wanted to talk about today is really two kinds of pushback. Some people will say, here's the thing, you keep calling me

Marxist just because I care about social injustice or social justice. And so stop doing that. I'm not a

Marxist. And that is such a straw man, I don't even know where to begin. Nobody is out there calling you a

Marxist because you care about racism or racial injustice. No one's doing that.

I care about racism. I care about racial injustice. The reason I called your ideas

Marxist is because you think racial injustice is something very different than what I would think it is.

I think it's when you show partiality based on race or ethnicity. That's what I think injustice is.

I think that when there's a clear, definitive, hey, I treat black people differently than white people.

I treat white people differently than Latinos, things like that. That's what I'm talking about, that's prejudice, that's racism and all of that.

You think racism is when black families on average don't earn as much as white families or certain demographic groups don't have as much wealth as others.

That's a Marxist idea. It's very different than saying, well, you just care about racial injustice, well, you're a

Marxist. That's not what people are saying, so stop pretending that they are. The other thing is I've seen people say this, that racism, or I'm sorry, that the word

Marxist is just kind of like a way to call someone the N -word without using the

N -word. When you say, oh, you're a Marxist, what you're really saying is, well, yeah, you're a meep.

That's ridiculous. That's ridiculous. Honestly, that kind of stuff, you provide so much cover to actual racists.

There are actually racist people out there that do use the

N -word and these different kinds of slurs. I'm sorry if you can't deal with that, but not everyone who uses the word

Marxist is actually a racist. Imagine that. Actually, when they use the word Marxist, they're probably using it in the way

I just said because you have Marxist presuppositions. Not because they're trying to use the N -word.

I saw someone that expressed shock that he couldn't believe that white people were being called

Marxist, too. He always thought it was a racial slur. That shows your ignorance. That shows your ignorance on the topic.

It's not a racial slur. Maybe people do call black people Marxist, but it's not because of their skin color.

It's because of their ideas. That's the thing. I've also seen, this is kind of a third kind of bonus thing, people just kind of spouting off those two sort of defenses, well, yeah, it's just a racial slur or, oh, just because I care about racial injustice.

Well, as long as you keep thinking that, you're never going to change. Here's the thing. Maybe it's time to take a little bit of your own medicine.

Time to listen. Time to listen to people who are opposing you. Don't just dismiss them as fools. Don't just say, oh, well, you're a racist and don't just say, well, you just don't care about black people.

That's why you're calling me a Marxist. How about you listen to what they're saying? Because they might know something you don't.

You know, if somebody called me a racist, first of all, I wouldn't just assume that they're an idiot. I would say, well, why do you say

I'm a racist? You know, because I know I'm not a racist. And so they would point to something and if it was correct, hopefully

I would repent. But if it wasn't correct, I would just say, well, I don't agree with you. That doesn't make me a racist. The same thing with Marxist.

Why are you going to stick your head in the sand and just continue in your blissful ignorance? Someone's calling you a

Marxist. Maybe it's a good idea to consider why, especially when they're Christians. I see a lot of people just sort of disparaging

Christians. Well, they're just fools. Maybe they know something you don't. Why is this attitude just like, well, everyone who disagrees with me is immoral.

I don't even want to talk to them. You know, that's just a way to never grow. I mean, your ideas will never change if you think that people who disagree with you on this topic are just racist and ignorant.

Maybe they have a point. Maybe you should look into the foundations of your ideas about economic equity and things like that.
