‘Evil’ Critical Race Theory ‘Fruit’ of Marxist ‘Long March,’ Says Os Guinness

One year ago, few Americans outside of higher education had heard of Critical Race Theory, which contends the concept of race is not biological but rather a culturally invented category designed by white people to oppress people of color.

Now, having leaked from its academic lab, CRT is spreading exponentially to school boards, corporate offices, the military and governmental agencies. And many parents, students, employees and citizens are courageously pushing back, sensing something is deeply wrong without necessarily having a full understanding of what they are fighting.

But it’s urgent that the citizens of this nation realize that CRT is not merely “erroneous teaching” and that the “leak” was no accident, warns Os Guinness, an Oxford-educated scholar with a unusual cultural and political vantage point.

Born to Christian medical missionaries in China where he was a witness of Mao’s communist revolution, Guinness contends that CRT is part of an intentional, systematic, revolutionary movement in America stretching back to the 1930s that intends to replace this unique experiment in ordered liberty with a system responsible for the deaths of more than 100 million people in the 20th century.

The so-called “cancel culture” and Critical Race Theory are “the fruit” of what has been described as the “long march through the institutions” and “the triumph of cultural Marxism, or neo-Marxism,” Guinness said in an interview with Eric Metaxas.

“People need to understand it,” he said. “Because while people are facing this, that and the other in schools, no national leader has set out to explain how this has happened and what it means.”

Noting he grew up in China and regularly visited Christians in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in the communist era, he said he has “zero naiveté about Marxism.”

“I have seen how Marxism works,” said Guinness, the great-great-great-grandson of Arthur Guinness, the famous Irish brewer.

The long game

Guinness noted that the term “long march through the institutions” was coined by communist student activist Rudi Dutschke in the 1960s. It was popularized by German-American Marxist scholar Herbert Marcuse of the so-called Frankfurt school of critical theory in his 1972 book “Counterrevolution and Revolt.” Dutschke credited the concept to Italian communist Antonio Gramsci, who wrote in the 1920s that in “the new order, socialism will triumph by first capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches, and the media by transforming the consciousness of society.”

The term “long march,” Guinness noted, played off of Mao’s long march in China in the 1930s. Born in Hsiang Cheng, China, in 1941, Guinness and his family were forced to flee Mao’s communist revolution after World War II.

But the ideas, which have put the American republic on the brink of demise, Guinness warned, go back farther than that, when revolutionaries turned the Palais Royal in Paris into the Palais Égalité, the Palace of Equality.

The sexual revolution and cultural Marxism, Guinness told Metaxas, are “the heirs of the French Revolution.”

“The tragedy is today we’re switching from the American Revolution to the heirs of the French Revolution, and that switch is disastrous,” he said.

Guinness contrasts the anti-religious French Revolution that spawned 19th century nationalism and 20th century Marxist revolution with ancient Israel’s covenantal government in his latest book, “The Magna Carta of Humanity: Sinai’s Revolutionary Faith and the Future of Freedom.” He argues that the American Revolution, while influenced by a variety of ideas, is based largely on the “Hebrew republic” and the principle that “freedom” is not about doing anything you want. It’s the freedom to do what you ought to do.

The way of power vs. the way of the cross

Guinness, a British citizen who has lived in the United States since 1968, said that many evangelical leaders are “incredibly naive” about what is happening today because they don’t see the big picture.

He recalled the many Zoom calls with evangelical pastors in which he has participated amid the cultural upheaval following the death of George Floyd.

Many of these pastors speak of “social justice,” Guinness said, without understanding they have “drunk the kool aid” of cultural Marxism.

“Yes, followers of Jesus and Jews and all who love the prophets and so on – we are outraged by injustice,” he said. “We agree that there is injustice, sin, evil, wrong, flagrant injustice.”

But there are “vast differences in how you address it.”

The way of the cultural Marxist, the radical left, he explained, “is only power, and it make the problem worse, not better.”

“The Jewish and Christian way – repentance,  confession, forgiveness, reconciliation – is a way where you have the enemies becoming friends, and genuine restoration and removal of the evils,” he said.

“So those who are naive about this are incredibly stupid and short-sighted, and unfaithful.”

Scholar and activist Christopher Rufo, who produced a report on Critical Race Theory that led to President Trump’s executive order banning CRT-based training programs in the federal government, spelled out in an address at Hillsdale College the theory’s Marxist underpinnings, arguing it  “prescribes a revolutionary program that would overturn the principles of the Declaration and destroy the remaining structure of the Constitution.”

‘A lack of courage’

Metaxas opined that many evangelicals today are simply “going with the flow,” apparently deciding it’s better to support culturally Marxist organizations such as Black Lives Matter than to vote for Donald Trump and have people “wrinkle their noses” at them.

“That’s a lack of understanding,” Metaxas said, “but principally, to me, it’s a lack of courage, because it does take some courage to say … I don’t care what people think, this is not right.

“That to me is what’s lacking in a lot of leading pastors,” he said.

Guinness concurred.

“I couldn’t agree with you more,” he said. “And, of course, when I say ‘stupid” I mean ‘folly,’ which is very close to danger.”

He said the proponents of critical theory criticize everyone but themselves.

“If critical theory was to criticize critical theory, we would expose it for what it is. It’s hypocritical. It’s evil.”

Guinness said he was talking to a friend in England that morning who had written “cautions” about Black Lives Matter, which was formed by self-described Marxist activists, and “wokeness.”

“I said: ‘Cautions? No. You need to look at what it really is in the white of the eye and name it for what it is. It is evil.'”

Metaxas observed that many on the political right insist that “not everything is at stake” and America is merely experiencing “a swing of the pendulum.”

“This is not a swing, this is not a cycle,” Guinness said. “This is something very close to the end.”

The nation will go on as some form of democracy, he clarified, but “the American republic, this great experiment in ordered freedom, is on its last legs.”

‘The Purge’ by Big Tech targets conservatives, including us

Just when we thought the Covid-19 lockdowns were ending and our ability to stay afloat was improving, censorship reared its ugly head.

For the last few months, NOQ Report, Conservative Playbook, and the American Conservative Movement have appealed to our readers for assistance in staying afloat through Covid-19 lockdowns. The downturn in the economy has limited our ability to generate proper ad revenue just as our traffic was skyrocketing. We had our first sustained stretch of three months with over a million visitors in November, December, and January, but February saw a dip.

It wasn’t just the shortened month. We expected that. We also expected the continuation of dropping traffic from “woke” Big Tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter, but it has actually been much worse than anticipated. Our Twitter account was banned. Both of our YouTube accounts were banned. Facebook “fact-checks” everything we post. Spotify canceled us. Medium canceled us. Apple canceled us. Why? Because we believe in the truth prevailing, and that means we will continue to discuss “taboo” topics.

The 2020 presidential election was stolen. You can’t say that on Big Tech platforms without risking cancellation, but we’d rather get cancelled for telling the truth rather than staying around to repeat mainstream media’s lies. They have been covering it up since before the election and they’ve convinced the vast majority of conservative news outlets that they will be harmed if they continue to discuss voter fraud. We refuse to back down. The truth is the truth.

The lies associated with Covid-19 are only slightly more prevalent than the suppression of valid scientific information that runs counter to the prescribed narrative. We should be allowed to ask questions about the vaccines, for example, as there is ample evidence for concern. One does not have to be an “anti-vaxxer” in order to want answers about vaccines that are still considered experimental and that have a track record in a short period of time of having side-effects, including death. One of our stories about the Johnson & Johnson “vaccine” causing blood clots was “fact-checked” and removed one day before the government hit the brakes on it. These questions and news items are not allowed on Big Tech which is just another reason we are getting canceled.

There are more topics that they refuse to allow. In turn, we refuse to stop discussing them. This is why we desperately need your help. The best way NOQ, CP, and ACM readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We are pacing to be short by about $3700 per month in order to maintain operations.

The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. We had 5,657,724 sessions on our website from November, 2020, through February, 2021. Our intention is to elevate that to higher levels this year by focusing on a strategy that relies on free speech rather than being beholden to progressive Big Tech companies.

During that four-month stretch, Twitter and Facebook accounted for about 20% of our traffic. We are actively working on operating as if that traffic is zero, replacing it with platforms that operate more freely such as Gab, Parler, and others. While we were never as dependent on Big Tech as most conservative sites, we’d like to be completely free from them. That doesn’t mean we will block them, but we refuse to be beholden to companies that absolutely despise us simply because of our political ideology.

We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.

As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.
