The Cultural Marxist Contradiction That Gives Away The Game

The Cultural Marxist left has a glaring contradiction at the center of their warfare against blood and soil nationhood. On one hand the WOKE crowd wants to say that nations are not blood and soil but only voluntary to anybody who would affirm certain propositions. This conviction is so central to the Cultural Marxist crowd that they will insist that an third world immigrant who has been here for 10 minutes can be just as American as a White man whose family has been here for 10 generations. At this point the Cultural Marxist vehemently denies ethnicity, heritage, and identity in favor of nations as a social construct.

However, the Left is in contradiction here when it pivots, for example, to indict the White man with colonialism or his alleged mistreatment of minorities. Now, the Cultural Marxist has shifted feet, and is now saying that ethnicity, heritage, and identity does exist. Now, it is the case for the Cultural Marxist, that a nation is not a social construct, as he insisted in the first paragraph, but rather now the Cultural Marxists are arguing that a nation is indeed a blood and soil reality filled with villains belonging to that blood and soil people.

We see thus that when it is convenient for nations to be social constructs for the Cultural Marxist they are but when it is not convenient for nations to be social constructs they are not. If guilt can be inherited then so can belonging. If the white man is uniquely guilty for his putative crimes against humanity then clearly the white man exists as a ontological reality and not as a social construct. If the past can be uniquely measured against white people then it must be the case that heritage and race does matter. But if heritage and race matter than propositional nationhood doesn’t work.

One can not consistently argue that national identity is purely voluntary as answering the question “Who is a European,” while simultaneously treating history as a moral ledger in which only one ethnic people incur guilt … indeed cannot avoid guilt due to their genetic identity.

The Cultural Marxist have a contradiction at the center of their thinking. So, either race/ethnicity is a thing so that racial guilt can be assigned with the consequence that it is not possible to arbitrarily claim that a Hottentot can just claim to be a European just because of magic dirt, or, race/ethnicity is not a thing so that racial guilt can not be assigned with the consequence that our Hottentot can claim to be a European five minutes after being here.

So, to be consistent, the Cultural Marxist has to either give up their rejection of blood and soil, the rejection which produces the whole propositional nationhood bit or they have to give up their insistence that there exists a white people who are uniquely guilty for anything. White people can’t exist to be guilty of anything if being White is just a social construct.

The blood and soil crowd, on the other hand are perfectly fine with saying that belonging to nations has a blood and soil component while being willing to accept the possibility, where it can be proven to their satisfaction, that somehow they are uniquely guilty, as a people, for this or that historical action.

Just so you know though … epistemologically self-conscious Christian Whites will argue that colonialism was a net positive good for non-White people. White people are proud of their colonial ways in which we bore the white man’s burden.

    Powerful.

    Strong agree. The hospitals and airports in Africa were not built because native Africans developed medicine and flight.
