The woke are playing 3D chess
While you're distracted, they're quietly indoctrinating your kids
In a previous post, I discussed Queer Pedagogy, how it’s obviously and openly Marxist (communist) and how the goal is to indoctrinate children by first inducing class awareness (“maybe I’m one of these made-up genders”) then class consciousness (“my made-up gender needs more rights”) then finally critical consciousness (“we identity groups all need more rights and must unite in solidarity”).
I wanted to take a step back and explain how this fits into the broader thrust of the communist project. Communism is a fusion of theory and practice which they call praxis. The ideology itself is a crazy mixture of whatever one can imagine and whatever works. This is one reason it produces such insane results. It also operates dialectically, which is why it’s able to evolve and adapt to different circumstances rather than simply die out as one of the worst ideas in history. So even when it’s catastrophically failed and the bodies have piled up for the hundredth time, it will simply reconfigure, incorporate some new features and try again. Like a horrific process of trial and error where error means millions of dead people and trial means making the same fundamental mistake again and again. It will work this time, comrades! This also makes it hard to identity because often the newly incorporated features are superficial and it takes on the veneer of something different (while retaining its core essence). For example, much of Paulo Freire’s work has the veneer of Catholicism but the essence of communism.
This Easter, which results in the changing of consciousness, must be existentially experienced. The real Easter is not commemorative rhetoric. It is praxis; it is historical involvement. The old Easter of rhetoric is dead—with no hope of resurrection. It is only in the authenticity of historical praxis that Easter becomes the death that makes life possible. But the bourgeois world view, basically necrophiliac (death-loving) and therefore static, is unable to accept this supremely biophiliac (life-loving) experience of Easter. The bourgeois mentality—which is far more than just a convenient abstraction—kills the profound historical dynamism of Easter and turns it into no more than a date on the calendar.

That Freire quote never gets old!
As I’ve mentioned before, a major reconfiguration of communism occurred in the middle of the 20th century. This is best articulated by the famous communist intellectual Herbert Marcuse whose short book Essay on Liberation we saw in a previous post.
Today we’ll reference another best-seller that he wrote, One Dimensional Man (1964). It’s a long book and although Marcuse has a fairly straight-forward writing style for a communist, it’s still a bit of a word-salad and pretty heavy-going. I’ve just taken some paragraphs from the conclusion today but feel free to wade through the whole thing for a finer sense of this idea.
The advancing one-dimensional society alters the relation between the rational and the irrational. Contrasted with the fantastic and insane aspects of its rationality, the realm of the irrational becomes the home of the really rational--of the ideas which may "promote the art of life." If the established society manages all normal communication, validating or invalidating it in accordance with social requirements, then the values alien to these requirements may perhaps have no other medium of communication than the abnormal one of fiction. The aesthetic dimension still retains a freedom of expression which enables the writer and artist to call men and things by their name-to name the otherwise unnameable…
To liberate the imagination so that it can be given all its means of expression presupposes the repression of much that is now free and that perpetuates a repressive society. And such reversal is not a matter of psychology or ethics but of politics, in the sense in which this term has here been used throughout: the practice in which the basic societal institutions are developed, defined, sustained, and changed. It is the practice of individuals, no matter how organized they may be. Thus the question once again must be faced: how can the administered individuals--who have made their mutilation into their own liberties and satisfactions, and thus reproduce it on an enlarged scale--liberate themselves from themselves as well as from their masters? How is it even thinkable that the vicious circle be broken?…
The institutions within which pacification can be envisaged thus defy the traditional classification into authoritarian and democratic, centralized and liberal administration. Today, the opposition to central planning in the name of a liberal democracy which is denied in reality serves as an ideological prop for repressive interests. The goal of authentic self-determination by the individuals depends on effective social control over the production and distribution of the necessities (in terms of the achieved level of culture, material and intellectual).

Let’s translate this into actual English. Society has become too narrowly focused on the material world (i.e. one-dimensional) and has neglected higher forms of human existence such as spirituality and culture (the higher dimensions). The material (one-dimensional) world is too hard for communists to use economic antagonism to build a revolutionary movement (since most people in the West are now comfortable thanks to free-market capitalism and their hatred of communism). So we need to take over social and public institutions unnoticed so that we can subtly influence the culture and break the cycle of children inheriting their culture from their parents and the existing society around them. Then the next generation will have adopted the correct (communist) perspective and culture and we’ll have a majority. Checkmate.
The short version is to gain power in future, communists should get access to the kids and indoctrinate them without their parents noticing. And that’s exactly what they started doing. It’s hard to believe but a whole cohort of 1960s communist radicals put down their (literal) bombs and got into education. I mean, for real - that’s actually what happened. And they were not only allowed to do this but were welcomed to universities and schools around the USA. The Weather Underground (a terrorist organisation that detonated multiple bombs in US cities) was particularly effective at funnelling members into education. Their leader Bill Ayers became a professor of education at the University of Illinois (because of course he did!) and bomb-making expert Cathlyn Wilkerson became a high school teacher (why not!). Seriously, how the hell could this have happened? All I can say is that clown-world clearly isn’t a new phenomenon, we’re simply inheriting the clown-world that came before us. Of all the horrific and shocking things I’ve written about (and there’s a lot to choose from), I find this one the most shocking.
Anyway, let’s get back to Marcuse. There’s a more important aspect to this higher dimension analogy of his - not the theory but the practice, the part that’s operational. This is usually described using the popular phrase 3-dimensional chess. In this analogy, one player thinks they’re playing in 2-dimensions and plays honest, straight-forward moves. And maybe plays them well. The other player (and the real game) is actually playing in 3-dimensions which allows him to seemingly disappear and reappear his pieces and run circles around his opponent no matter how good he is. In other words, whilst the usual political battles are being fought in one-dimension (via party-politics, elections, competition etc.), the communists are playing a totally different game in the other dimensions. They’re quietly indoctrinating the next generation (in the higher dimensions) to grow their numbers (in the one dimension).
This is the real game that’s being played today. In every country in the West. This is why you’re seeing the same radical politics and gender stuff in schools all over the world. This is why you’re seeing the emergence of one of the most zealous and intolerant generations (who certainly don’t share your values). This is why there’s a hardcore contingent of younger people with a religious commitment to vote for the crazy left-wing parties no matter how insane, corrupt or incompetent they become. While you’ve been arguing over who’s to blame for the high cost of living or over whether there’s too much (or too little) immigration or whether tax is too high (or low) and which political party to vote for (which are all real things), the communists have been playing the long-game in a higher dimension and converting the children into their future political allies. They’ve totally outplayed us because we naively don’t even know the game that’s being played. Communists play for keeps.
Let’s recap. There’s a deeper game being played by (woke) communists to win power in the future. It’s set out in Herbert Marcuse’s book One Dimensional Man which describes how to play 3-dimensional chess with society by quietly taking over the culture unnoticed via the infiltration of cultural institutions (especially schools). Actual communist terrorists went and did exactly this in the 1970s. This was around the same time that communist-educator Paulo Freire started to become popular in universities and now we see that most universities in the West train teachers using his ideas. We’ve also seen how this manifests in so many schools that are politically indoctrinating children, especially around gender identity, and how this is even the official education policy of many Western left-wing parties. This is a serious attempt at a cultural revolution in the West and it’s half-way there. We need to get serious and start playing the real game and start playing hard-ball. Starting with schools and universities. We need to clear all the communist crap out of classrooms and fire any teacher caught bringing it in. And we need to de-fund any university that’s teaching communist crap and indoctrinating students. And we need to do it yesterday. Have we got the stomach to do this? I hope so. Everything we know and love is at stake.
The reason you're having trouble understanding this is because you're a relatively sane person :) I would characterise it as a religious cult. It has gnostic elements. It wants to build a kind of "Heaven on Earth" (and in doing so will ironically create "Hell on Earth"). Whether it makes sense or not, you can see the results of similar attempts and they're some of the worst moments in human history. We need to stop these total nut-jobs before they do any more damage.
But why? Just what is the outcome of all of this? I cannot wrap my head around whatever it is they may be working towards. Worldwide Communism? Cool, then it collapses, then what? Just what do these cultural, political, and financial retards want?
