ists’ “Race Struggle” May be About to End //
The Marxist Leave was determined to create a revolution. It came up with a strategy that would work: Get minorities to believe that they are victims, a people being oppressed by U.S. culture, and they will be happy to enlist in the campaign for total cultural transformation.
This was after the failure of Marxists in the United States to promote “class struggle”. The American worker was not interested in revolution. The new revolutionary agents would then be minorities.
“Race struggle” was born. It has been a huge success. Even institutions like the Smithsonian Institution are able to incite racial grievances.
But wait! But wait! Marxists’ “race struggle,” five decades later, may collapse in the exact same manner as its attempt to “class struggle,” when the new conscripts abandon their victim status and desert barricades.
In fact, Hispanics are saying “adios!” to the race war in large numbers. According Polio – The lead that the Democratic Party enjoyed over Republicans among these voters has been reduced by half in just ten years.
Worse, NBC News reports that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis leads Charlie Crist, U.S. Rep., by 7 points among Hispanics. He also has a 56% approval rating. DeSantis could win in the deeply blue Miami-Dade County.
This would indicate that Hispanics, who already make up 14% of the electorate, and are the fastest-growing segment of the electorate, could be poised to help propel to power newly energized conservatives who are determined not only to preserve American traditions but also to reverse leftist gains.
What is the point of all this? It’s complicated and no one knows what will happen during Nov. 8’s midterm elections. However, a Bienvenido survey of 1,200 Hispanic voters released last week shows that 70% of Hispanics reject America’s offensive notion of them as victims.
MSNBC host Tiffany Cross suggested that Hispanics’ revolt against Leftism could be traced back, on Oct. 3, to the fact that they are not “voices of colour.” Joy Reid, Cross’ colleague, was so discomfited about the news about DeSantis, that she whipped up this tweet:
However, Jemelle Hill of the Atlantic’s tweet about the matter was the most appropriate, as it pointed directly at the ideological indoctrination that underlies this whole approach.
The belief that workers were “false conscious” (that they accepted their oppressors’ worldview or “hegemonic narration”) was one of the reasons neoMarxists threw them out during the rise to the New Left in 1960s.
lamented Herbert Marcuse of the Frankfurt School, who was known as the “guru for the New Left” in 1969.
Marcuse was still hopeful. He called the “ghetto population” revolutionaries. Marxist intellectuals were required to participate in it. Marcuse said, “The small and weak minorities, who struggle against the false consciousness, and its beneficiaries must be supported.”
activists intimidated initially reluctant bureaucrats into creating a separate Hispanic classification, which it finally did in 1977. Millions of dollars have been spent on grievance-stoking since then.
Most of it was taxpayer money. The Smithsonian National Museum of American History’s new “Latino” exhibit portrays Latinos as oppressed people fighting against white supremacy. Worse, the disgraceful exhibit is a sign of a new National Museum of the American Latino that some well-intentioned Republicans helped to create.
Conservatives need to be able to recognize the time. They cannot continue to support such dangerous projects and contribute to the destruction of society. They must actually work to eliminate them.
They can vote to defund this museum. The Latino museum’s supporters received $8.3 million for fiscal 2022. Now they are back asking for a $2 million increase, or $10.4million in total, in the fiscal 2020 government funding bill. This bill will be voted upon in December. Conservatives must insist that this line be removed.
Let’s wait and see what November brings. The new congressional leadership, as well as the new members of Congress, including Hispanic representatives and those elected with Hispanic vote, may smell the coffee and realize the significance of the race struggle over the past 60 years and take action accordingly.
