We already had Equal Opportunity laws for race and disability though, but DEI is actually sneaked-in Marxism. What do people think Marxism is a just philosophy? It’s inherently anti-social and sociopathic.
I’ve literally had people tell me on Lemmy that it was okay that Stalin put kulaks to death. I’ve also had people tell me on Lemmy that it’s okay to forcibly steal from people, as in middle-class citizens, to “redistribute wealth”.
Progressively taxing people and democratically deciding how to spend funds is one thing. But the Stalin-like taking of peoples properties and resources is worlds apart! The only sane way to bring people universal healthcare and UBI etc is something like the Nordic model, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_model
No one should be racist or ableist, but trying to sneak in Marxism under the guise of anti-racism is fucked.
There are comments in this thread downvoted for rightly pointing out the racism in other countries. Have you lived in LatAm countries or Asia? Western democracies are comparatively the least racist places on the face of this world! Don’t fucking kid yourselves.
People should try to save democracies, but let’s not fucking pretend that other places are angelic heavens which do no wrong. It’s disingenuous and detached from reality.
I’m getting reports on you. It’s a fine line between disinformation that sounds “smart” and breaking the rules. I’m pulling it because it’s not being excellent to the people it effects.
You’re muddying the waters. If you want to have a discussion, stop giving it a volatile label. Regardless of your point, your label has me involved now.
As a socialist citizen of a Nordic state, the Nordic model is a wonderful example of socialism in practice. The US, even with full DEI implementation, would be nowhere near as socialist as the Nordic countries.
Stalin was not the best example of Marxism. Stalin was a megalomaniac that killed a political rival that wasn’t a threat just because he once was a threat.
Actually, I do know, I’ve read enough about Stalinism and Leninism. It’s not a huge leap, then, to connect the equity philosophy to enable redistribution of wealth and resources to the Global south, especially as it relates to Climate justice.
Authoritarianism is still fucked whether the people oppressing you are left or right.
Lol thinking DEI is somehow parallel to authoritarianism is hilarious.
You might want to work on your reading comprehension if this is the lesson you learned. Making sure a company has a fair and unbiased hiring process or representation of minorities or fair pay and equal equity for stakeholders that are people of color or women, etc etc is a very far cry from some sort of broad wealth redistribution.
Then tell me why I am being called a Nazi for bringing up the FACTUAL connection DEI and CRT both have to Neo-Marxism and Marxism. I am not racist, nor homophobic, or transphobic. I want to see better outcomes for people in minority status. I just don’t want people to blindly accept Marxist ideologies.
In other words, the designers and adherents of critical theory admitted their true intent. Not equality under the law. Not civil rights. Not freedom, liberty and justice for all. Not a better life for racial minorities. Critical theorists admit their intent is to use racial minorities as the vanguard for a Marxist revolution.

Under Marxism, it’s okay to put someone to death for being a “better off peasant”, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulak

Fine, this is a touchy subject rn and I don’t want to inflame or troll
Shut up, Nazi

This might be the most insane take i read all day

The term kulak was older than Stalin.
And the last part is a bookcase whataboutism.
lol of course, not a True Scot

“They hated him, for he told them the truth.”
What’s the Kremlin like?
If you think DEI is Marxism in disguise you know neither what it nor Marxism actually are.

Because they’re not Marxist ideologies and you’re trying to pretend they are and/or reading materials that are disingenuous and incorrect.
I’m not calling you a Nazi but I am telling you that CRT and DEI initiatives are not at all grounded in Marxism.
Maybe you’re right in so many words, I’ll take into consideration.

Your first link really reads as conspiracy theory, Ive yet to meet a Marxist HR department
Tbh I thought the same at first, but it’s because it’s distilling so much underlying philosophy to its most apparent application.
