Summary

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 36 In Woke Marxism, "all" means "some." Not just any some, but a very specific some: the some that the Woke holds out as suffering from systemic oppression. You see, Woke Marxism maintains that society is contoured entirely by systemic power, and that creates an "unlevel playing field" that they have to "level" through redistribution schemes like equity and inclusion. When they say they want to devise an education system that benefits "all students," then, for example, what they're telling you is that because of systemic power dynamics, some kids don't benefit under the current system, and that needs to be remedied. Thus, the system will favor those students and disfavor others who are deemed relatively privileged. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains why you need to be on the lookout for specialized Woke uses of the word "all" and why it ultimately harms everyone.

0:00.0	Hey everyone, it's James Lindsay. Welcome to new discourses, Bullets, where I give a short
0:16.6	bullet point type summary of one topic from woke Marxism that you need to understand
0:21.1	so that we can stop this. Today is a slightly ambiguous term. It's a murky term. It's a word
0:28.6	you've heard. It only has three letters. That word is all ALL, all and it has a specialized
0:37.2	meaning in Marxism that you need to understand. Now I start off by saying it's murky and
0:41.0	ambiguous because it doesn't always mean the woke thing. So it's a word that when you see it,
0:47.0	you have to wonder why it's there and if it's being applied to woke purposes. So sometimes
0:54.2	it will be all students this, all children, that, all Americans, the other thing. These are
1:01.0	kinds of context. You'll see it. We want to create an education system where all students feel
1:04.6	like they belong. We want to create a equity system in the government where all students
1:10.8	have all Americans have access to financing, whatever happens to be. Sometimes it's word is
1:16.8	legitimate. Sometimes they're just saying it rhetorically or they genuinely mean it in the
1:21.5	sense of a universal all, but it has a specialized meaning. The reason that they say education
1:29.2	for all students or where all students succeed, why do they specify all is the question you
1:35.2	have to ask? What do they have to say? We're trying to build out a model so that all students
1:39.1	can succeed instead of just saying we're building out a model for student success or something
1:44.5	and it's because under the belief system of woke Marxism, society is contoured into what they call
1:53.2	an unlevel playing field or an unlevel knowing field. So some people already have greater advantages
2:00.4	than others. They have privilege. Other people do not. They're excluded from those opportunities
2:06.2	that access or those privileges and they are oppressed by their exclusion. The goal of
2:12.4	inclusion is to bring them into that so it only applies to them. So when you read something in a
2:17.8	woke piece of literature about education and it says we're trying to create a system where all
