I recently came across an article in the Federalist by Stella Morabito that discusses the parallels between Critical Race Theory (“CRT”) and Communism. Because New Hampshire’s self-crowned Sun-King … Chris Sununu … supports CRT, I hope you will read Morabito’s article to help you understand exactly what Sununu is supporting.
And why it is critically important to prohibit CRT. A few snippets follow to hopefully whet your appetite.
… agitators who deploy critical race theory have zero interest in ending racism. Instead, they’ve made essentially the same point over and over again: Racism is an unsolvable problem. If you’ve been tainted as “white,” there’s nothing you can do about it. You are eternally a racist, especially if you don’t believe you are.
… the peasants resisted giving up their family-run farms—a roadblock to the Soviet leadership’s desire to exercise complete control over the nation’s food supply. … Stalin devised a plan to stir up hostilities among the peasants where resentments had never existed before. … The communist youth league … went into villages to propagandize and incite divisions, turning formerly peaceful neighbors against one another:
… villagers were told that they belonged to three mutually hostile classes: the poor peasants, who were the allies of the proletariat, the middle peasants, who were neutral, and the rich or ‘kulak’ peasants, who were its enemies. The names of all the peasants in these different classes were listed on a board outside the village school.
This process is eerily similar to the way critical race theory — and all identity politics — has been applied in America. You can see the same three divisions: victims, oppressors, and those who might save themselves by becoming “allies” of the victims.
It is fair to say that CRT is a variant of Communism. While the Soviets used class to divide people, CRT uses race. But the goal is the same … to keep the populace divided and distracted in order to allow the elites to have their way.
