The Woke Movement is Leninism 4.0: Political Commentator Dr. James Lindsay



Dr. James Lindsay, an American-born author and political commentator, called the "woke" ideology and movement embraced by Black Lives Matter organizations and other left-wing activists "Leninism 4.0."



"Now we have the attempt to apply Leninism to the American context, using corporations as part of the toolset, for example. And so we call this movement the 'woke' movement. We talked about woke capital with all the corporations ... the woke movement is Leninism 4.0," Lindsay told Jan Jekielek, host of The Epoch Times' American Thoughts Leaders program on Jan. 13.



Lindsay explained that the first 3 versions or flavors of Leninism through Lenin, Stalin, and Mao, each tried to fix the problems from the previous version.



The "woke" movement that has evolved today focuses on the issues of social and racial justice and has become a catchword used by Black Lives Matter activists on the streets.



Lindsay said he's been studying "woke" culture and its historical and philosophical antecedents for a number of years.



"At present, what's happening in the United States [is] we have 'repressive tolerance' at the end of a narrative, which is a significant difference [of] 4.0 versus 1.0. So we should point that out, at least for the moment, that the way that they are, you know, Lenin went around and killed dissidents, they are instead canceling dissidents here," he said.



But he noted that there are some encouraging positive developments.



"We've had attorneys general already file antitrust suits against these big tech companies. We've seen people pushing back in big legal ways that might have a significant impact to scare these big tech companies into rethinking the way that they're operating," Lindsay added.



The Jan. 6 Incident

Lindsay said the people who broke into the Capitol building on Jan. 6 might have had the "intention of some kind of insurrection," but that video footage showed that they were "wandering around being interviewed by journalists" and didn't have a plan of action. He doesn't think President Donald Trump incited violence there and that the narrative that he did doesn't add up.



He warned against the "consensus view" built up on what happened at the Capitol and a "pseudo-reality" that misleads people. "Why is everything so fractured? Why is everything so polarized? We actually live in a world, at the moment, where we have two consensus views," Lindsay said.







Lindsay described the movement as "the idea is that you have some enlightened party of people who are probably part of what Marx would have identified as the bourgeoisie, who understand the problem of the proletariat better than the proletariat does and is going to shepherd them through the revolution that they need to have that's for the greater good or in their best interest."



For people on the left, being "woke" means siding with social justice advocates focused on contemporary political concerns, but for people on the right, it is often interpreted as an aspect of "political correctness" or "cancel culture."



Lindsay also called out hypocrisy from the left as they try to get "sharp prison sentences threatened on these people [who broke into the Capitol]" and make them unemployable, even calling on Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) to be removed from their offices.



"You see Cori Bush calling for them to be removed and then we compare that to what we saw with Kamala Harris saying: here's the link to bail people out of jail for the riots in June. We see AOC saying repeatedly that the riots are necessary," he said.

Trump Was Just The Lightning Rod: Post-Riot Pivot Shows Democrats' Plan To Attack All Republicans

But even as Biden planned his unity-themed inauguration, members of his party and the media began to make it clear that simply removing Trump from office was not going to be sufficient.



The Democratic House of Representatives, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, swiftly impeached President Trump for a second time — with no official inquiry or hearings. Twitter banned the president's account permanently, and other social media platforms followed suit. Then citing "dangerous Qanon conspiracy theories," Twitter banned or suspended thousands of other accounts.



Newly-elected Democratic Missouri Rep. Cori Bush called for the investigation, sanction and potential expulsion of any Republicans who had attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election by objecting to the Electoral College vote — something that Democrats have done after every election their party has lost since 2000.



CNN anchor Don Lemon said outright that all Trump voters should be held accountable for the riot at the Capitol, because even if they were not there in person, their vote for Trump aligned them with the KKK and other extremist organizations.



That move from Lemon and from so many others appeared to support another claim Shapiro made just three days after the election: "They don't hate you because they hate Trump. They hate Trump because they hate you."

I believe that we are seeing "Cancel all opposition" reaching the final and permanent stage



With Biden and House & Senate, all media and internet giants will be allowed (encouraged in fact) to censor all dissenting views and all pre-election views



This was O's plan initially and Clinton was supposed to deliver the coupe de grace, but that was delayed 4 years much to their surprise.



However, the plan is now back in action  .. even determined the last election by censoring the other side





As I see it, all the above = there is now no way for prog politicians, media and internet to ever be replaced or controlled again



George was right - It's now 1984 forever

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced her personal Twitter account was temporarily suspended by the social media company.



According to a statement from her office on Sunday, the freshman lawmaker said the San Francisco-based company claimed she made posts that could lead to a "risk of violence."



"Just days after the Silicon Valley Cartel launched a multi-front attack to chill free speech in America by deplatforming President Donald Trump and purging an unknown number of conservatives, Twitter has decided to suspend my personal account without explanation," Greene said in a statement. "The borderline monopolistic stranglehold a few Big Tech companies have on the American political discourse is out of control. If a conservative dares to utter a political opinion that is deemed unapproved by the internet police they are now subject to false accusations of "inciting violence" simply for having a conservative view...the censorship has got to stop."

Yet another "CANCELation"



https://www.theepochtimes.com/trump-lawyer-ousted-from-law-school_3660303.html">//https://www.theepochtimes.com/trump-lawyer-ousted-from-law-school_3660303.html



A lawyer who represented the Trump campaign in a legal challenge to the Pennsylvania election results was forced out of his post last week as a law professor at Chapman University in California for representing President Donald Trump as a client.



But what especially earned the ire of left-wing activists at the famous conservative legal scholar's school was that John C. Eastman spoke alongside the president at the Jan. 6 "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington.



...... There is no evidence that Eastman, or Trump, did anything unlawful by speaking at the rally.



Nevertheless, Chapman University President Daniele Struppa promptly denounced Eastman for engaging in constitutionally protected free speech.

A competing media outlet is pointing to de-platforming efforts from CNN and decrying claims CNN is making as part of its efforts as false.



Newsmax TV has seen strong growth since the 2020 election, cutting into Fox News viewership. But its growth has sparked calls for censorship led by CNN.



A CNN reporter recently pressured cable providers to stop airing Newsmax and blamed its coverage of the election for the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol. He claimed that Newsmax engaged in "election denialism" by reporting on election fraud allegations. And former Facebook official Alex Stamos on CNN's Sunday media show pushed for censorship, saying Newsmax and another news broadcaster, One America News, "have freedom of speech, but I'm not sure we need Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, and such bringing them into tens of millions of homes."



Only one cable provider responded to CNN. CenturyLink said it was committed to providing "a variety of broadcast channels covering thousands of topics" and that it does not "endorse specific media or outlets, but instead support viewers' access and choice."
