White, Christian conservatives have presented an easy and productive target against which to stoke and direct the collective grievance Marxists require to generate political capital. The USA’s moral, cultural and legal framework reflects its founding by European Christians in pursuit of Judeo-Christian ethics. So, those taught to define Judeo-Christian ethics as “white-supremacy” are sure to find it everywhere. Frighteningly, that now includes MOST of those going through the public school system over the past 20 years.  

Teaching America’s school-children that America’s founding was an act of “white supremacy” lays the foundation for revolutionary rejection of all that America was founded to defend; Liberty, E Pluribus Unum, and especially, In God we Trust.

Next week, Congress is expected to narrowly defeat HR350, the so-called Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022. It is a resolution that will direct the DOJ to focus on Conservative American Citizens and groups; those opposing “woke” ideologies being taught in schools, rallying for the defense of our Bill of Rights, lobbying for voter integrity laws, and in other ways fighting for the continuity of the USA as a free and prosperous nation.  

Even as the contrast between the Marxist revolutionaries and the American Conservatives becomes stark, many are seduced by the seeming virtue pursued by the Marxist movement. 

Have you noticed that the word, “equity” is incorporated into every position and policy being promoted by the Left these days? Semantic sleight-of-hand is being masterfully deployed on the unwary. In so doing, our Equality under Law, the foundation of our Republic, is being replaced by a Marxist “mandate” to contrive statistical parity among competing collectives.

“Gee, isn’t the pursuit of ‘Equity’ just another way of realizing ‘equality’?”

Not at all! Equality under Law empowers each to challenge infringements of their rights. ‘Equity’, as Marxists use the term, refers to forcibly-contrived parity among collectives, an objective that requires authoritarian, central control. The term makes the pursuit palatable by dressing it up as “social justice.”  

The incremental transformation of the USA has been ongoing for decades even if the recent attempt to criminalize opposition to it is new.  

To confiscate the earnings of one in an effort to provide “free” sustenance for another makes a slave of the former and a pet of the latter. In this example, a force-of-law pursuit of “equity” in the “distribution of wealth” achieves a grotesque infraction against our equality under the law. Yet every attempt to roll back the losing “war on poverty” pursued by force-of-law has been met with accusations of “heartless cruelty”; accusations most politicians have neither the intellect nor the courage to refute.   

Once the Marxist “mandate” to engineer parity among factions is fully embraced as a legitimate governmental purpose, it becomes self-perpetuating, a self-authorizing claim on power. A diverse population of unique individuals will never demonstrate adequate “parity.” So the intervention on behalf of ‘underprivileged’ communities will gain additional ‘authorizations’ with every perceived failing in the “equitable distribution” of fillintheblank. We are witnessing this process daily. The goal is full, authoritarian, central control of both social and economic order.

The deceptive pursuit of “equity”(aka Social justice) is simply a Marxist strategy for converting grievance into powerIt will be an effective tool for power-seekers for as long as misery of any kind is part of the human experience. 

Marxist doctrines like “equity” are sold on the basis of morality. “You are a ‘selfish’ person” if you argue that you own your earnings. “You are a racist, bigot, rich snob, etc.” if you argue that different choices produce different outcomes. And “you are a heartless bastard” if you argue that people learn more from mistakes than they do from provision at others’ expense. All of these accusations are designed to shame people into submission. If you define yourself as “compassionate”, “open-minded”, “tolerant”, etc., then you will acquiesce to the Marxist imposition of “Equity” by authoritarian control.  

By creating a governmental entity wholly unaccountable for its treatment of the flesh-and-blood human being (in ostensible pursuit of factional parity) necessarily opposes the foundation of moral conduct: Respect for each person’s life and rights.

The antidote is simple even if not easy. E Pluribus Unum is only possible if Americans share in subscription to our foundational idea:  

Respect for the equal standing of each person’s life and rights is the foundation of all moral conduct. That is WHY it is the purpose of our law and OUR measure of justice.

When we remain equal under the law, our interaction with each other is based largely on consent. A society characterized by consenting, interdependent exchange facilitates progress, innovation, prosperity, and human flourishing. This is not a philosophical statement but a plainly observable fact.

As America’s history attests, general subscription to this AMERICAN doctrine defeats racism.
