Why Racism is Ethno-Socialism

Malcolm argues racism applies group differences to individuals, while true evil legally encodes it. This prevents inter-generational competition essential for progress. He explains racism’s similarity to communism in suppressing the “grand game” advancing society. Racists grasp external excuses for failure rather than learning from successful groups.

Affirmative action is the worst modern racism as it systemically handicaps minorities. Historic racism still disadvantaged some groups, but evenness doesn’t mean fairness. A level playing field enables eventual parity. They discuss respectful cultural pride versus outgroup hatred. Overall the left’s racism destroys potential while right bigots chiefly hurt themselves.

Malcolm: [00:00:00] ethnic socialism is what it really is.

Malcolm: Racism is ethnic socialism. They apply. Unfair barriers to people of different racial and ethnic groups based on preconceptions about those groups that prevent those groups from competing against them in a fair and open ecosystem. And doing that. They hobble those groups, but they also hobble their own group.

Malcolm: What the great thing is about actual racism is groups that don't punish it, don't compete as well.

Malcolm: And they end up falling apart. If you look at America and you look at the white populations, the white populations that were less racist economically have outperformed the white populations that were more racist. Hmm.

Simone: Yeah.

Malcolm: You look at multicultural groups and this is something you see. Racism is a self extinguishing phenomenon when it is not entrenched in government law.

Malcolm: That's why I see the groups that are just like [00:01:00] generically racist as less evil than the groups that enshrine racism in law with things like affirmative action because. Those groups are hurting themselves often more than they hurt the groups around them. And so it's like, ha ha ha, look at the idiot.

Would you like to know more?

Simone: Malcolm, you really piqued my curiosity the other day when you said racism was a lot like communism. What's going on there?

Malcolm: Now, this is a fun topic and it was inspired by a comment by Simone by the way, love you excited to be talking to you again where some people were like, why is

Malcolm: racism ethically wrong? You know, so first we need to define what we mean by racism. And what we consider racism. So some people consider racism as believing different ethnic groups are different. That is stupid. And diversity has no value if we're not actually different.

Malcolm: In a [00:02:00] world in which everyone is secretly the same, there is no point in diversity, culturally, ethnically, anything like that. It's an aesthetic difference. And that it's not, there's no superiority to a painting with more colors in it than a painting with

Simone: less color. And furthermore, in such a world, which is optimal, it would also be ridiculous to pretend that there aren't differences, right?

Malcolm: And it's you know, I think, here's where it gets bad, okay, and this is where I define racism.

Malcolm: It's when you use Intergroup differences to make decisions about individuals when you find out they're part of one group or another group, or to make decisions about how you interact with groups as a whole. This is very important to me. Like I bet that you never. allow knowledge of like, well, people like this, they're like, they're like, Catholics are like, this Jews are like this.

Malcolm: It's just like groups like this. Like, obviously there are going to be [00:03:00] statistical norms that are culturally, even if, even if just cultural differences, because different ethnic groups clustered within different cultural groups and culture can influence life outcomes. Of course, you're going to have different averages that differ between groups.

Malcolm: And these averages can allow you. to create prejudices, which allow you to more quickly make decisions about those groups. Often this is what I am against, and this is what I consider to be a racist. But then there's the higher form of racism, which is the ultimate form of racism. And I think where you get into sort of pure evil, which is when you encode group differences into legal systems.

Malcolm: Or social systems in terms of how you deal with cultural outsiders. Ah, okay. So let's talk about why this is very similar to communism and why it is evil from our cultural perspective. Okay. So there are many things that our culture values. But [00:04:00] one of the highest value systems within our culture is intergenerational improvement.

Malcolm: The core goal of every human being... is to make kids that are better than them. It is. a game in which you are always playing against your ancestors and yourself. It is a game in which you are consistently striving to not stagnate, where stagnation is the highest form of failure. A stagnant species, our pattern from our worldview, Is completely pointless.

Malcolm: It is, it may as well not exist. If you think of it in terms of Conway's Game of Life,

Malcolm: and I'll see if you get some video of this or something. A simple self repeating pattern is as pointless as a pattern that ceases to exist because it is uninteresting. It is, it is, it is unmeaningful.[00:05:00] Now, this is why when we see groups like the Nazis who are like, well we need to go back to like, A single Aryan white, they sort of see the perfect ethnicity as being something in the past can be crafted and then is stagnant which is actually very similar to the people who want to ban us from using genetic selection on our kids because they see us as like dirtying the human gene pool by like entering exogenous technology into our practices.

Malcolm: They both believe that there is a perfect version of humanity. It is either close to the existing version of humanity or, or in the past. And we can achieve it by limiting other groups, reproductive capabilities or exterminating other groups. So this is a form of stagnation to us. It is a form of evil to us.

Malcolm: But even generic racism is, is the Ideologically uplifting of stagnation as a [00:06:00] concept. So the way that progressive groups, because progressive culture is, if you look at conservative culture as it typically offers a lot of cultural amenities to people, it offers. You know, if you live in a very Christian community, they often have a very Mormon community or something like that.

Malcolm: You know, if you're on hard times, it has systems for dealing with that. If you're old and food scarce, it has systems for dealing with that. If you're an orphan, they have systems for dealing with that. You know, and, and, and this, This often makes progressives angry. They're like, well, of course, like the Salvation Army exists and provides services for people, but they don't provide them to trans people.

Malcolm: They, they enforce some of their cultural values when they're providing these services. And it's like, well, yeah, they do. Okay. But. They are able to motivate their average member to provide these services, while you, progressive community, appears to be unable to do that without the threat of government force.

Malcolm: Well, because of this, if the progressive community wants to [00:07:00] deconvert people into it, if it wants to convert people's kids, because, you know, they're not having kids of their own, so they can only survive by converting the children of nearby healthy cultural groups, the way that they allow that to happen is they need to create government mandated alternatives to these social safety nets that are prevented by these variable cultural groups.

Malcolm: Well, that is what communism is at the end of the day. Communism is a system in which the government is providing all of the social services. So socialism, communism, all that. So that there is no need to be in any of the disparate cultural groups. Communism has always worked hand in hand with cultural genocide.

Malcolm: That has always been the goal of communism is cultural genocide. It is to erase all of the differences between humans. It is to make all humans the same. And that is

Simone: stagnation. So racism is communism. Communism is

Malcolm: racism. Well, we haven't gotten to exactly how it's similar yet, because I haven't gotten to [00:08:00] that.

Malcolm: But it removes the need for intergroup competition. You know, you cannot have, you cannot have, in one of these totally socialist states, it becomes much more difficult to say, well, you know, Jews seem to be economically outcompeting other groups. Maybe there's something we can learn from them or something like that, right?

 To be more pointed. This form of racism is really just an outward reflection of inwards cultural weakness. It is the signs of a dying culture. Strong cultures, almost never hold these sorts of beliefs because they don't need to. It's the type of thing that people begin to grasp towards when they can see that they are being out competed. And when they can see that they have begun to die. And I suppose just the weakness of it disgusts me seeing that sort of weakness in other people discuss me.

Malcolm: Like, because there's no reason to be in any of these cultural groups. And they try to erase all of the cultural differences between these groups. So you don't, you no longer get the competition. And it [00:09:00] is competition that leads individuals and groups to attempt to improve themselves. And as they improve themselves, as the, and then people convert into the groups that are doing better, that have lifestyles that are they have a competition of you know, economic and cultural success and a cultural sense of oneness and cultural amenities.

Malcolm: And you know, we had a friend who converted to Mormonism because it helped her find a husband. She's like, I just can't find a husband in, in the dominant cultural group. I'm in you know, I told him to convert to Mormonism and they, I, they have these systems. And it did, she found a husband and she's happily married and having kids.

Malcolm: Now cultures convert people by offering these amenities and these systems that they offer. And that is actually one of the main reasons that people often convert. to different cultures. Is there like, yeah, but like people here are happier and they seem to be living wholesome, good lives. And that was not something I felt when I was growing up in you know, the urban monoculture, right?

Malcolm: But it's, it's harder and harder to convert people as the urban monoculture offers more and more services that these cultures are able to motivate people to sacrifice to. [00:10:00] Okay. So what communism is, the core reason it's evil, right? Is it's not evil because it provides. equality. It's evil because it removes the motivation for intergenerational improvement.

Malcolm: Evil because it removes this grand game which leads to our species improving itself, every generation improving. And, and this is, this is, this is just, it's such an important thing because you, In the moment, it makes life harder. But if you look at the technology that's been invented in our capitalist system, it has made even many times, you know, I talk about a 10 percent or American in terms of income, they live lives that are markedly better than like the king of England, 200 years ago, 250.

Malcolm: Yep. And, and that is wild, but that is created because of intergenerational improvement. Intergenerational improvement may take a while to raise some boats, [00:11:00] but eventually it raises all boats. It is a obvious ethical good. Well, racism is ethnic communism. People use racism and ethnic socialism is what it really is.

Malcolm: Racism is ethnic socialism. They apply. Unfair barriers to people of different racial and ethnic groups based on preconceptions about those groups that prevent those groups from competing against them in a fair and open ecosystem. And doing that. They hobble those groups, but they also hobble their own group.

Malcolm: When you do things that hurt other ethnic groups that prevent you from competing in a fair and open ecosystem, then you cannot see when cultures that cluster within your ethnic group are doing a bad job and you cannot intergenerationally improve. Oh, so

Simone: what you're saying is it makes people blind to [00:12:00] room for improvement that they might have in their own culture because they're too busy being like, I'm so much better than

Malcolm: more than being blind to room for improvement.

Malcolm: It, it makes them blind to even the market forces of improvement. You know, you eventually have to learn how to improve your culture. If it has to out be out competing in some metric, whether it's fertility rates or economically for it to still exist, and you see this ardently within racist groups, you look at the people who are like racist in our videos and you see this cluster one, they need to feel just like axiomatically better than some cultural groups so that they feel like they're.

Malcolm: their lives are meaningful in some ways, even if they're failures. So they're like, Oh, well, you know, black people, bad, my, my group, good. I am in some way good because I'm a member of that group. But then you can see the blindness as well. They'll look at something like Jews, right. Jews the boy, but like a lot of Cess Rogan's guests are Jews.

Malcolm: A lot of Nobel prize winners are Jews. A lot of politicians are Jews. You mean Joe [00:13:00] Rogan, Joe Rogan. Sorry. Yeah. Sorry. So you, you, you see Jews usually disproportionately represented in areas of success. And instead of asking the question that somebody would ask if they were not racist, which is what are Jews doing that I am not doing?

Simone: Right. What can I learn from them? What can I steal from them?

Malcolm: Yeah. In the way that they are succeeding, right. They instead ask the question that all racist groups ask. Which is, how are they cheating? How have they created a, a, a group a, a a system that is systemically making my group unable to outcompete their group.

Malcolm: They are unable to admit to themselves that a group other than them may be outcompeting

Simone: them. Oh, so it's, it's basically like a racial. External locus of control.

Malcolm: Exactly. It's a racial external locus of control. So when you look at us and you go, well, this being true, what is the highest form of racism in our society?

Malcolm: It is of course, affirmative action. Nothing does [00:14:00] more to systemically. Cause a group in our society to not intergenerationally improve then affirmative action.

Simone: Well, and also I guess to see the world through an external locus of control rather than focusing on like internal improvement. It is

Malcolm: more racist than practices put in place by the most racist white supremacist, the most racist existing Klan members, what the Democrats regularly put in place in terms of policy, because it intergenerationally keeps

Simone: generating weakness.

Simone: Yeah, I guess. I mean, it sounds really bad, but so what you're saying is like, even like in the times of, of the worst forms of racism in the U. S., it did force

Malcolm: No, I'm not saying that. The Klan used to be much worse than the left. I'm talking about the Klan today. I'm not like murdering people, systemically keeping people down.

Malcolm: That also prevents both them and [00:15:00] you from moving forward because you're not playing by the same rules. So, of course, and I think that this needs to be said. Alongside the statement that many ethnic groups within the U. S., particularly the Black and Native American populations in our country, have been systemically disadvantaged due to historic conditions.

Malcolm: They are not starting from the same starting gun, intergenerationally you hurt them much more by systemically unevening the playing field and like BLM does creating this external locus of control. Like that is a form of meaningful and in this ethnic external locus of control. Of, of, of, of meaningful racial oppression because it meaningfully and intergenerationally disempowers specific ethnic groups.

Malcolm: Also, what would you

Simone: say to like, you know, the society at large that's like, okay, I hear you and I don't want to [00:16:00] disempower people, but also like, it's so not fair that they're starting off on uneven footing. And like, how do we correct for that? Like, is there a way to both have an locus of control for groups while still.

Malcolm: I mean, I mean, the really insidious thing is these policies that are intergenerationally keeping down these minority groups that are starting from worst positions. They're all being operated and promoted by white people who intergenerationally benefit the most from these practices, which is really disgusting that these individuals do this because they're, they're helping.

Malcolm: Their own, you know, their own ethnic group over the, the other ethnic groups and in so doing, feeling good about themselves, like they're being these great oh, benefactors, oh, it's very it, it, it feels so much like that poem that Noble Savage I'm sorry, the What is it called? The White Man's Burden poem.

Malcolm: You know, oh well, I just must hope uplifts the, it's so [00:17:00] disgusting, it's so disgusting. But to what you're saying, you're saying, okay, well what do I say to people who are like, yeah, but it's very unfair. Yeah. Well, here's the thing. Society is unfair. I'm sorry about that. The way it treats attractive people versus unattractive people.

Malcolm: The way is, is, is horrible. The way it treats people born to rich families versus poor families is horrible. But, why have we elevated this one form of unfairness over all other forms of unfairness? It makes no sense. It's not ethically correct. In an ethical society, we would say... Well, whenever you try to treat one ethnic or cultural group special, it always ends in tragedy.

Malcolm: Yeah. Tragedy for everyone. Yeah. And that what we need to do is to create a system that even if it's less fair in the moment can lead intergenerationally to an eventually fair society. Now let's be clear. What does fair mean? It does not mean everybody wins. [00:18:00] Okay. It does not mean everyone is equal. It means that everyone is given the same shot and same pressures to intergenerationally improve.

Malcolm: So by this, what we mean is like, yeah, I mean, if you wanted to create, and this is something that society doesn't talk about, but if you wanted to like ethnically normalize society, so you're going to divide society into ethnic groups and then say, okay, well, we're going to put. penalizations on different ethnic groups based on how successful they are.

Malcolm: Okay. Well, you know, whites wouldn't be at the top of that totem pole in America. There are many ethnic groups which out earn white people. And, and, and. Yeah, so you would what, normalize it and penalize them? That's sick. That's disgusting. I, I, I, I I am genuinely morally repulsed by that. The idea of saying some other group should be punished because they're out earning white people.

Malcolm: And yet... That is the logical [00:19:00] conclusion of this sort of system, right? So, if you can create a system that is intergenerationally fair, right, in terms of competition eventually within a few generations, everyone should be able to come back as long as actual racism is being punished. But actual racism, what the great thing is about actual racism is groups that don't punish it, don't compete as well.

Malcolm: And they end up falling apart. If you look at America and you look at the white populations, the white populations that were less racist economically have outperformed the white populations that were more racist. Hmm.

Simone: Yeah.

Malcolm: You look at multicultural groups and this is something you see. Racism is a self extinguishing phenomenon when it is not entrenched in government law.

Malcolm: That's why I see the groups that are just like generically racist as less evil than the groups that enshrine racism in law with things like affirmative action because. [00:20:00] Those groups are hurting themselves often more than they hurt the groups around them. And so it's like, ha ha ha, look at the idiot.

Malcolm: You know, shooting themselves in the foot. Like, it's funny. It's funny because it's wrong. Ain't that cute, but it's wrong. So what are your thoughts?

Simone: Yeah, this checks out. That racism hurts people who are like the perpetrators and the receiving end of it. And... It is surprisingly similar to communism on a couple

Malcolm: of points.

Malcolm: Racism is ethno socialism, but to be clear from our definition of racism, the Democratic Party is the core, the Democratic Party and the social movements that they support are the core sources of racism in this country. And they are the core perpetrators of racism in this country. Right. You know, every racial pride rally or something like that.

Malcolm: Now you can say, well, I want to create, and this is what we would support. So I really [00:21:00] support sub racial cultural groups.

Simone: Okay. So what does that mean?

Malcolm: So a population, let's say American blacks, right? They may say we have a problem in our communities, right? Like I can see like black on black violence is a problem or something like that.

Malcolm: And we can fix it by creating new cultures for our community that are meant to address these problems. But we want these cultures to differentially be of utility to people in our community because due to their social background, you know, due to being a black person in America, they are going to better be able to understand and assimilate with the culture that we're building.

Malcolm: Okay. I have no problem with that. And I actually support that. I have no problem with the fact that Jews. Sort their culture, in part, based on who your parents are. Like that it's gonna be, like, if our kids wanted to [00:22:00] convert to Judaism, they'd have a very easy time, because they're matrilineally Jewish.

Malcolm: And people would be like, well, that seems like wrong. Like, people know, like I have differences with the Jewish group. I think there's, there's, there's things that they do wrong. But I I don't think that that is one of them. I don't think that saying our culture is an ethnically locked culture, but we treat.

Malcolm: Outsiders as equal. That's totally fine. So if you have a black cultural group with like Kwanzaa and stuff like that, and they're like, yeah, we are an an ethno cultural group and they want to have pride rallies and stuff like that, that is. All things that I think are perfectly hunky dory, and there is nothing unethical about that at all.

Malcolm: So long as they don't frame other cultural groups, it is axiomatically worse to them. Okay,

Simone: so you're for pride, but you aren't for, like, out group hatred.

Malcolm: Right, so there's a big difference between you know, some of these, It intra black cultural group pride rallies where it's a cultural group within the black community where blackness is part of their core [00:23:00] identity and they're doing a rally than something like a BLM rally, which is all black people, but only because they're black.

Malcolm: It doesn't matter about

Simone: other like we'll say control cultures. I'm thinking about sports teams, for example, and I think it's really hard. To like, have a lot of pride for your sports team, but then to not be like another sports team. Like, do you think it's possible to have pride while simultaneously holding respect for other groups, for our groups?

Malcolm: Jews do it all the time, and I'm sorry, some people might not like, know a lot of Jewish people or not have a lot of like, like, hung out inside, like Jewish people when they're being very honest about what they think about side groups but

Simone: they, I guess now that I'm thinking about it, they do show a lot of respect for like, Oh yeah, I love what this group does.

Simone: It's really interesting.

Malcolm: Yeah. It's totally doable. It's totally f*****g doable. And a lot of, does anyone do it aside from Jews? Catholics? Not the Catholics in America, not this weird integralist nonsense in the U. S. I'm talking about historic Catholics. [00:24:00] They, they don't do it with the people they're currently in conflict with, but they typically do it much better with groups that they're not in conflict with.

Simone: with groups that are assimilating because that's all I'm thinking about right now.

Malcolm: So look at the Catholic group. I mean, they typically didn't see, like, Protestants as that much better than like native groups and stuff like that. They have a equal level of disdain and discomfort with all cultural groups that aren't theirs.

Malcolm: Okay,

Simone: but that's different from And then just thought of your own group and respectful

Malcolm: how antagonistic those groups are to them. Okay.

Malcolm: Avowed Satanist or, or Wiccan or something like that. But that's because those groups are like actively in conflict with each other. You know, most Protestant groups are actually very good at this. Calvinists historically have been very good at this. Historically, Calvinists really did not see. Like they would be like, okay, this cultural group has problems competing in this way or this way, but obviously everyone is wretched.

Malcolm: Us especially, but we're just a little less than other people. [00:25:00] It is not wrong for a cultural group to say people of our cultural group are different than people of other cultural groups. But when you tie that to an ethnicity, I think that that, or when you begin to rank other cultural groups outside of your group against each other and then treat them based on that, that becomes a big problem socially speaking, because it means that your group doesn't need to improve as much.

Malcolm: So it's okay, like, for example, to disproportionately, like, if you are within one of these Black separatist groups, right, and they have, like, a distinct culture, and you are disproportionately rewarding other members of that Black separatist group, that is totally okay, like, totally ethical, but when you start rewarding other people who are outside of that group just because they're Black, that's totally unethical.

Malcolm: Yeah, that makes sense. So, it's, it's, it's okay to have some level of cultural isolation and even to be culturally, ethnically locked. Now our cultural group isn't ethnically locked. Like I would invite people in from, from other ethnicities. I don't care. But. But you don't have a problem with people having.

Malcolm: I don't have a problem. I don't [00:26:00] think it leads to evil every time. Yeah. And again, I. As long

Simone: as there's respect for outside

Malcolm: groups. Yeah, again, I would point to Jewish groups as an example. This doesn't lead to evil every time. You can have multicultural societies like we had in early America that lived alongside each other.

Malcolm: But usually that happens when a symbiotic cultural group is the one in power and becomes less likely when a dominating cultural group is the one in power, which we've talked about in other videos. Something that people often miss. It's AmeriCorps, which was founded And the majority of at least the white population in the country during the founding was the Calvinist cultural group, which did not believe that everyone could join it or everyone was meant to join it.

Malcolm: So they didn't have conversion conversion as a big part of their mission statement, which meant that they were like, okay, it was being Catholic because they were like, well, you were born to go to hell. So whatever. You know, or Jewish people, you know, you were born to go to hell, whatever, like, we don't need to convert you as a state, like, we're okay working alongside you, which is, you know, not dissimilar from Jewish cultural groups, they're also a symbiotic cultural group, they're like, yeah, well, not everyone's meant to be Jewish, so they're, they're usually, but when you have [00:27:00] a cultural group that thinks that anyone can convert or anyone could be a member of their cultural faction, like the progressives or like some other Christian denominations when they become the majority faction in an environment they often will try to use government apparatus to commit cultural genocide and force the conversion of people who are different from them, which ultimately ends up weakening those societies as we've talked about in other videos.

Malcolm: You know, if you're talking about fertility rate or economics or really anything, typically. More diverse societies seem to be doing better and seem to do better historically. But the reason is, is because the diversity leads to competition, the diversity of economic situations, the diversity of ethnic groups, and the recognition of, and the diversity of cultures.

Malcolm: And the recognition that this diversity is meaningful, but that ultimately you're only competing with yourself and your ancestors, not with the other, not with the other. But it's good to

Simone: like see what other people do and compare notes. Speaking of comparing notes, actually not at all. It is time for us to play with [00:28:00] our kids.

Malcolm: Oh, but I have so much fun talking to you, but I have so much fun playing with them. You know what our viewers haven't seen in a while is any after video shorts, cause I stopped getting them from you. Cause

Simone: I've given up on life. No, just kidding. I will yeah, I will get back to editing them when.

Malcolm: No, I understand.

Malcolm: It's really hard. Things are really hard,

Simone: it's just that you know, we, we always yes and everything. And then that means we go for capacity sometimes, and that's where we are right

Malcolm: now. Yeah, we're, we're unfortunately working without Greece at the moment, because they took on a few other really big projects.

Malcolm: Oooh! But, you know, the world needs to be saved, and we appear to be the only ones putting in the effort. So, that's true. That's the end goal with all of this. Everyone's like, why do you do so many things? And I'm like, well, are you going to do it? And they're like, no, well, that's f*****g why, because someone needs to be fixing.

Malcolm: The new one that got added to our plate is one of our viewers reached out about donating to us and we've been talking about a project that I'm really excited about to potentially create a [00:29:00] charter city.

Simone: Well, yeah, and we're also prepping to run for office. We have to go get our kids though. So, let's do that.

Simone: Tomorrow

Malcolm: you're going to a running for

Simone: office event. Yeah, so I love you. Goodbye. Go get the kids. I love you so much. We gotta keep focused. I love you.

Malcolm: Bye.

Simone: Bye.
