Understanding Marx Crow

Marxism is an ideology that views the world through the lens of power. Life is a struggle between groups that have power—whether in a financial, organizational, technological, informational, or numerical sense—and groups that don’t.

From a liberty perspective, Marxism is actually quite helpful. The rich, for example, have the means to buy politicians and get pro-rich bad freedoms legalized (e.g., laws that force the taxpayers to subsidize large corporations), and anti-rich good freedoms criminalized (e.g., laws that needlessly increase barriers to entry and undermine competition). And “all experience hath shewn” that the rich aren’t shy about exercising this advantage. Any society that hopes to achieve liberty, then, has to be cognizant of the power money confers, and craft guards that make it extremely difficult for the rich to turn the government into an instrument of plunder.

But Marxism stops being a useful way of understanding the world when it devolves into a sinister version of itself. It’s one thing to say the rich, because they’re awash in money, pose a threat to liberty. It’s another thing altogether to say the rich, because they’re awash in money, don’t have any rights. This is where Marx-Crow Marxism comes in.

A Marx-Crow Marxist believes that the historically powerful are universally bad, and the historically powerless are universally good. A Marx-Crow Marxist also believes that because the historically powerful are universally bad, they have forfeited all claims to equal treatment and respect—society may legally and socially reduce them to second-class citizens. Marx-Crow Marxism is in effect revenge tyranny. Under its twisted double standards, turning the government into an instrument of plunder is only wrong when it’s done on the behalf of the historically powerful (i.e., whites, men, heterosexuals, Christians, the rich, etc.). When it’s done on the behalf of the historically powerless (i.e., blacks, women, gays, Muslims, the poor, etc.), it’s not only acceptable—it’s the embodiment of virtue and justice.

The position taken here is that Marx Crow has been embraced by the Woke and is the dominant ideology in America today. And in my next post, I’ll show how the Woke leverage their cultural hegemony to visit revenge tyranny upon the historically powerful.
