Everyone, this is James Lindsay. Welcome to new discourses, Bullets, where I go over

a single topic in tremendous detail so that you can understand the woke movement and

what it's doing, woke Marxism, and try to keep it under 10 minutes. So today we're

going to talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion that is DEI and the related concepts

of belonging and justice. So I want to make this simple for people. What you need to know

about diversity, equity, and inclusion is that equity is the goal. We'll start there.

The Canadians call it EDI instead of DEI usually. They put equity first, that makes sense

because equity is the goal. What is equity? Equity means socialism. Equity is a rebranding

of socialism. How do you know this? What is socialism by definition? If you understand

Marxist ideology, and I mean specifically Marxist socialism, if you understand Marxist ideology,

you understand that Marx believed that capitalism would give into its own contradictions,

then the proletariat would rise up, seize the means of production, and they would create

an administered economy where they redistribute material resources, opportunity, etc. according

to Marxist theory. So in particular, people would be made equal. Shares would be adjusted

so that people would be made equal, and this would be done by the proletariat. Equity is the

same thing. Social equity is defined by H. George Fredrickson as compared against equality

as equality as when citizens A and B are equal, and equity as when shares are adjusted so

that citizens A and B are made equal. In other words, you're going to have the seizure

of the means of distribution of resources, whether those are material or cultural. They're

going to be redistributed to groups and then within the groups to individuals within those

groups. So you're going to have a redistributed economy where groups are made equal and presumably

most individuals within those groups will be equalized by that mechanism. Equity means socialism.
