 What do you think of the term woke capitalism as a part of corporation aligning with cancer culture? Josh Hawley recently used it in describing how Coca Cola and MLB are boycotting Georgia election rules term package deal. Yeah, I mean, woke is not really a concept. It's kind of a vague term to describe a certain attitude on the left. I don't think it can really apply to capitalism, to corporations. And it certainly shouldn't be aligned with capitalism. I mean, it would fit Josh Hawley who has no clue what capitalism is. And it is a reject of capitalism wholeheartedly to associate the term capitalism with woke. You could say these corporations are behaving in a woke fashion. That's fine. You can say these corporations are towing the democratic line as virtue signaling. That's fine. But woke is not a concept. Nobody's defined it. It's not there's no clear definition or even clear description of what it means. It's applied to a variety of different things. And it's primarily applied to the left. And in terms of corporations, yeah, I mean, corporations have done this forever. How many corporations threatened the NFL around taking the knee, right on the on the right? How many people threat when when Kaepernick took the knee and football players took the knee? How many corporations said they wouldn't advertise, or they wouldn't be associated? You know, corporations take political stands, depending who's president, depending on where they think the wind is blowing, it's pragmatism, it's awful. But it's, you know, don't make too much out of it is is Coca Cola and and Delta really going to move their headquarters out of Atlanta. I doubt it. They're going to make some, you know, comments to show that they're on the right side of political correctness. And then they're going to close their mouths because Georgia is still a primarily Democratic, sorry, Republican state. They don't want to piss off their customers in Georgia. So they're not going to make too big of a deal. Imagine if Republican Georgians stopped flying Delta, that won't be good for Delta and Delta knows it. So they're going to be very, very cautious, right? Somebody says, isn't woke an acceptance of the basics of communist net worldview? Not at all. I don't think woke and communism of any connection. Indeed, woke is, is anti-communist because the communists, certainly the communist ideology is anti-woke. Woke has a lot more to do with critical race theory, with postmodernism, with, with nihilism and, and the complete, you know, just the, just the, the, what's it called intersectionality, then it does with Marxism or communism. Marxism is not postmodern. Marxism is not critical race theory. Marxism is not intersectionality. These things in a sense are much worse than Marxism. They are real egalitarianism in a way that communism is not. Right? I don't want to pretend for one second that anybody think I'm defending communism, but communism is, is way ahead in every respect than, you know, intersectionality, critical race theory, woke, whatever, wokeism, if you want to call it that, all of this. This is about nihilism. This is about tearing stuff down. This is about destroying communism, at least as the pretense of utopia, as a goal in it. What is the utopia of critical race theory? What is utopia of postmodernism? What is utopia of wokeism? There is no such thing. There is no such thing. It is the annihilation of anybody who's a little bit better than anybody else, which means everybody. It's the annihilation of everybody. Until the last weakest person on planet earth is left. So there is, you know, maybe somebody has a definition of woke, but I haven't seen one. It's very vague. It's very, it's very questionable about whether it, it's just a, it's a term that people throw out there for what we used to call a political greatness, but much worse, right? And includes the whole cancel culture affiliated with it. And it's, it's a, it's, it's a bunch of different things. It's not a package deal because there's no positives that go into the woke. Woke is all negative. It's a, it's a bad attitude, but I don't think it's a clear cut definable term. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so. I certainly don't think that it is as anything to do with communism. Communist believing in, in discrimination, all kinds of discrimination based on all kinds of parameters. What we need today, what I called a new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think, meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, wins or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of the spare cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist roads.
