Dr. Jordan Peterson: There is a crisis of meaning
Yes , there is definitely a " crisis of meaning " brought to us by the pro-CAPITALIST , pro-MILITARIST, and pro-ZIONIST mainstream news media in " OUR democracy " which daily censors every LUCID mind that actually understands and can explain why human civilization is in a severe existential crisis and on the brink of extinction.
Does even the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party ,still controlled by senile Joe Biden and daffy Kamala Harris, go along with deranged plans for nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ?
[ "Peterson has proposed cutting funding for liberal arts programs throughout Canada, claiming that students were being indoctrinated with "cultural Marxism".[91] He has said that "disciplines like women's studies should be defunded", advising freshman students to avoid subjects such as sociology, anthropology, English literature, ethnic studies, and racial studies, as well as other fields of study that he believes are corrupted by "post-modern neo-Marxists".[92][93][94] He has said that these fields propagate cult-like behaviour and safe-spaces.[93][92] In 2017 he said that he would create a website to reduce enrollment in "postmodern neo-Marxist cult classes by 75 per cent across the West", including women's and ethnic studies, prompting 'alarm' from the University of Toronto Faculty Association for Peterson's plan to "place under surveillance certain kinds of academic content". Peterson did not go on to develop such a website." ] WIKIPEDIA
As longtime independent democratic socialist I can concur with Dr. Jordan's war on fatuous WOKE ideology. But I do think that it is intellectually dishonest to associate it with " cultural Marxism ". Any politically literate person will understand that classic Marxism would never endorse the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party views on racism. sexism, " Critical Race Theory ", all this DNC based rainbow-genderism, very UNSCIENTIFIC drivel.
Classic Marxism focused on the exploiting and oppressive nature of the CAPITALIST SYSTEM. It strived to increase CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS where " the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class ".
In truth, the WOKE WARRIOR " liberals " are hostile to any orientation toward the working class. And the so called " FAR-LEFT " LGBTQ + " community smother their brains and souls in a semi-cult , intellectual ghetto.
Also , Marxism can in no way create its own " culture " within the bowels of the capitalist system. Even the rather " sick " COUNTER-CULTURE of the " Tumultuous Sixties " was doomed to fail. A socialist society will certainly not abolish all past " culture " . It will preserve everything that is good and precious in it :art, science, literature , music, architecture , the best of the cultural heritage of Western Civilization, the Judeo-Christian and Muslim contributions and often sublime moral philosophy .
As an INDEPENDENT democratic socialist I note very little passion in recent years- on the Left or on the Right - for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. It does seem that the majority of us would actually approve silencing our political , ideological , or cultural " enemy ". To be sure, that is not the way of classic Marxism or the way of SCIENCE.
In the 20th century the arch-corruptor of Marxism was Stalinism. And too many once sincere socialists , seduced by the false PHRASES of bourgeois democracy ,found a home in the " progressive " wing of the Democratic Party. And they have been rotting there -led by " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders - for decades !
