‘Woke’ Capitalism Explained by Stephen Soukup’s Latest Book: The Dictatorship of Woke Capital.

For most of capitalism’s life, the parameters were well established. Morality was never supposed to absent itself from business activities because monstrosities like the perverse relationships between democracy-based corporate entities and evil regimes like communist China’s could surface, but on a historical level, politics and commercial activity were kept has separate. There was, figuratively speaking, a wall between private and public entities.

However, there has been an ideological, corporatist activism that started in the 1980s, but that has recently sprung, that threatens to strangle the free enterprise system, corrupt our republican form of government, and consequently, suppress the notions of a free society.

This is why Stephen R. Soukup’s book The Dictatorship of Woke Capital: How Political Correctness Captured Big Business (Encounter Books, 2021) is such an important read. Big business has become politicized to the point that its concrete curbing of free speech, conservative political thought, and religious practice has transformed it into a concurrent, unelected, absolutist government. Despite its relatively small volume, Soukup does a comprehensive job of laying out the intricacies behind the bizarre phenomenon of woke capitalism.

Teachers Unions Conspire to Rescue Critical Race Theory.

The nation’s two principal teachers’ unions have officially committed themselves and the army of public education instructors under their command to defend the subversive task of indoctrinating neo-Marxist ideology to America’s children.

While the full arsenal of cultural Marxism’s Critical Theory ideological network, such as Gender Ideology, Critical Queer Theory, Critical Post-Colonial Theory, and Critical Feminist Theory will all be safeguarded by the public schooling establishment, it is Critical Race Theory where the bulk of the left’s war on America is concentrating its energy, given the country’s imperfect beginning with the morally contradictory issue of racial slavery and subsequent Jim Crow practices. 

Critical pedagogy, another philosophical extension of the Frankfurt School’s Critical Theory cache, was developed by Brazilian educator Paulo Freire in the late 1960s. Structurally, this theory calls for the promotion of Marxism from the educational system with claims that traditional education is “contaminated” by “oppressive” power relations and systems. Freire and a host of other critical pedagogy theorists, like Canadian-American Henry Giroux, are John Dewey on Leninist steroids. Today’s National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers have been mechanically and epistemologically formulated with the ideological venom of critical pedagogy. Their defense of CRT is a given.

The U.S. Supreme Court Defends Voter Integrity and the Constitution.

The American Republic scored a big victory on Thursday, July 1^st. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned an apparent unconstitutional ruling by the San Francisco-based Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that had struck down HB 2023, Arizona’s new voter integrity law. The vote was decided by a clear majority of 6 to 3, split along ideological lines. The Court’s rendition in Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee settled two paramount issues challenging America’s popular sovereignty republican system.

The most pressing threats to the United States election model were strengthening structural mechanisms that could make voting as easy and accessible as possible while making it difficult and complicated to cheat. The second fundamental pillar that was eroded and needed fixing, as was made evident by the irregularities in the 2020 election, was the constitutional perversion of allowing state executive officers and courts to replace state legislatures as the exclusive architects of electoral laws and their systems. Both principles were defended with the ruling.

America’s Independence: Some Things to Know.

America's Independence Day, celebrated on the 4^th of July, marks the Second Continental Congress’ unanimous adoption of the Declaration of Independence, formally separating the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain. This seminal event that took place two hundred and forty-five years ago in 1776, begs a broader analysis to fully appreciate its essence. Here are some things to know.

The American Revolution envelopes the Declaration’s signing and presents a more panoramic understanding of the United States coming into being. This historic process ran from 1765 to 1783 and encapsulates a gestation period of America’s nationhood. It began with the British Parliament’s Stamp Act (1765), which levied a tax on the then-British colonies. Despite it being repealed a year later, the American principle of “no taxation without representation”, was affirmed and set off a popular resistance to British Parliamentary legislation by the colonists who began to see themselves more as Americans than British subjects. War was brewing.
