The protests in the summer of 2020 after George Floydβs death in police custody and todayβs antisemitic, pro-Palestine protests on college campuses are rooted in the same ideology of Marxism, Katharine Gorka says.Β
Marxism preaches that the world βis divided between oppressor and oppressed,β says Gorka, co-author with Heritage Foundation scholar Mike Gonzalez of the new book βNextGen Marxism: What It Is and How to Combat It.βΒ (Heritage launched The Daily Signal in 20014.)
German-born philosopher Karl Marx believed that the oppressors were the business owners and the oppressed were the workers. But Gorka says that Marxism today, or βNextGen Marxism,β holds that the βoppressors are white, Americans, Israelis, [but] some Asians β¦ kind of the successful.β
βAnd the oppressed is everybody else, right?β she asks rhetorically. βAnybody whoβs a minority of any sort, whether itβs based on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, [or] having once been colonized.β
This movement of Marxism today has its roots in the 1960s, Gorka explains, as the student activists of those says became the community organizers who influence young people today, often via social media.Β
Gorka joins βThe Daily Signal Podcastβ to outline the progression of Marxism and to discuss philanthropyβs significant role in furthering Marxist ideology in America.
