Marxism and Postmodernism
- Marxism is a metanarrative, a totalitarian theology that purports to encompass everything.
- Postmodernism claims there are no metanarratives, yet Marxism itself is one such narrative.
Queer Theory
- Queer theory isn't a celebration of gay identity.
- It represents something more and less simultaneously, a dark discussion requiring exploration.
Deceptive Terminology
- The left uses terms like "diversity" and "inclusion" deceptively.
- These terms hold different meanings in private than when the left gains power.

Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts Of 1844
Karl Marx
Karl Marx's Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 are a collection of writings that explore the nature of alienation, private property, and communism.
These essays delve into Marx's early critique of capitalism, focusing on the dehumanizing effects of industrial labor.
He examines how capitalism alienates workers from their labor, the products of their labor, their fellow workers, and ultimately, themselves.
Marx's analysis lays the groundwork for his later, more mature works, such as Das Kapital.
The manuscripts offer a profound and enduring critique of the social and economic structures of capitalism.

a study of "brainwashing" in China
Robert Jay Lifton

Lifton outlines eight criteria for thought reform, including Milieu Control, Mystical Manipulation, Demand for Purity, Confession, Sacred Science, Loading the Language, Doctrine over person, and Dispensing of existence.
The book explores the thematic pattern of death and rebirth, accompanied by feelings of guilt, that characterizes the process of thought reform and discusses its broader implications for the study of extremism and totalism.

Gender Trouble
Feminism and the Subversion of Identity
Judith Butler
In 'Gender Trouble,' Judith Butler challenges traditional notions of gender and sex, arguing that gender is not an innate or natural aspect of human identity but rather a social construct that is performed and reinforced through societal norms and behaviors.
Butler distinguishes between sex, which refers to biological traits, and gender, which is a constructed category.
She introduces the concept of 'performativity,' suggesting that gender is created through repeated actions and performances.
The book critiques the binary gender system and explores how non-normative sexual practices and identities can subvert and challenge traditional gender categories.
Butler's work has been influential in feminist theory, queer theory, and LGBTQ activism, and continues to be a foundational text in gender studies.

Demons
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Demons, also known as The Possessed or The Devils, is a novel that critiques the political and moral nihilism prevalent in Russia during the 1860s.
The story is set in a fictional town that descends into chaos due to an attempted revolution orchestrated by Pyotr Verkhovensky.
The novel focuses on Nikolai Stavrogin, a mysterious and charismatic figure, and explores themes of ideology, murder, and the psychological and moral implications of atheism.
It was inspired by a real political murder in 1869 and combines elements of satire, philosophical inquiry, and psychological insight to depict how destructive ideas can influence individuals and society.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with author, speaker, and founder of ItsNotinSchools.com, Logan Lancing. They discuss the deceptive terminology of the postmodern Left and how the linguistic game hides a severe lack of substance, the true heart of Marxism as a theology, the indoctrination of our children at the institutional level, and the sacrifices it will take to truly right the ship.
Logan Lancing is an author, speaker, and the founder of ItsNotinSchools dot com. He is best known for his public lectures on critical race theory, culturally relevant pedagogy, and queer theory. Lancing’s website explains what these “woke” theories are, identifies where they come from, and exposes how they show up in children’s classrooms nationwide.
