Linkage Between R2K & The Enlightenment
In speaking of the Enlightenment author Rudolph Soan wrote;
“A natural law, a natural state, a natural society, and a natural religion shown as the great ideas on the intellectual horizon, and carried away the world of the 18th century in a movement of passionate endeavor. These battles prepared the way for the rise of modern Humanity.”
This quote demonstrates for us how it is R2K is a return to the Enlightenment project. R2K, with its full throated praise for Natural law and fallen man’s ability to read Natural Law aright as pertaining to all spheres save for the Church indicates its commitment to a Christ-less natural social-order as governed by a natural state under the auspices of a natural religion that serves as the great North Star for a religion-less people.
Of course the implication of all this R2K “thinking” is that natural law for the public square supersedes God’s law, and as against a Godly social order R2K posits that as we live in the common realm, we live and move and have our being in the humanistic natural state.
In the words of R. J. Rushdoony;
Because of its hostility to faith, the Enlightenment stressed reason as a great arbiter as well as the supplanter of Revelation. Natural law replaced Gods law, the state as Gods’ ministry of justice was replaced by a state defining law, creating law, declaring what is Good and evil for itself, and natural society, that is, life lived in terms of nature; replace life as envisioned by God’s law. Religion instead of being ordered by God’s grace and law, instead of being derived from revelation, now found its source in nature.
R2K, being a “theology” inspired by Enlightenment categories, makes the very same move for the common realm.
R2K is not Calvinism, nor is it basic Christianity. Instead R2K is Christianity reinterpreted through the lens of Enlightenment categories. In brief, R2K is heresy.
McAtee Helps Wilson with some Context
“But who co-opted these minorities in the first place? Who enlisted them to do this awful thing? Who is using them as a cat’s paw? White people, that’s who. Woodrow Wilson was white. FDR was white. LBJ was white. Earl Warren was white. Margaret Sanger was white. King Charles III is white. Out of the six justices who voted for Roe, only one was black. Elizabeth Warren is white. Ted Kennedy was white. Nelson Rockefeller was white. John Roberts is white. Jimmy Carter is white. Nancy Pelosi is white. Hillary Clinton is white, ditto Bill. John Dewey was white. Richard Rorty is white. Keith Olbermann is white. The overwhelming number of Ivy League grads are white. Shall I go on?
But per Doug, this noticing is likely all just so much people group malice.
György Lukács, the Frankfurt School & Some of its Tactics & Goals
György Lukács
“I saw the revolutionary destruction of society as the one and only solution. A worldwide overturning of values cannot take place without the annihilation of the old values and the creation of new ones by the revolutionaries.”
Ralph de Toledano
Cry Havoc
As mentioned György Lukács, was one of the early Cultural Marxists who became Commissar for Education and Culture during the short lived Hungarian Jewish Bolshevik regime that lasted for four months in 1919. Lukács complained when finally thrown out of power that the Red Hungarians mistake was that the didn’t spill blood fast enough. During his time as Deputy to the Commissar of Education in Hungary Lukács was remembered for his action in undermining traditional morality by teaching Hungarian children in government schools debauched sexuality.
“We must organize the intellectuals and use them to make Western civilization stink.”
Race Marxism, Whiteness As Property, and Adjacent Whiteness
In Race Marxism (vs. Economic Marxism — also now referred to as “vulgar Marxism”) whiteness is considered a property that white people and adjacent white people have. As such given the paradigm of Marxism, White people are the new bourgeois class in Race Marxism, owning the property of whiteness which they use to oppress the have nots who do not own whiteness. So, just as the Economic Marxists warred against the bourgeois class in the name of the proletariat (worker) class so Race Marxism wars against the white race in the name of the new proletariat and pervert class.
Keep in mind that as whiteness is a property that white people have this means that it is at least possible for non-white people to own this property even though they are not white. This is labeled, by the Critical Race Theory crowd as being “adjacent white.” Once upon a time these same people were referred to as “Uncle Toms” but now it is “adjacent white.” Some examples wherein Black people are accused of being adjacent white are as follows;
Clarence Thomas has been called in the media, “A Black, White Supremacist.”
All of this means that whereas Marx’s cry was for “Workers of the World Unite,” the new Neo-Marxism cry is for “Non-Caucasians & Perverts of the World Unite,” in order to throw off the oppression of the Hetero-Whiteness “Haves.”
If you are White… you ARE the enemy
So, to recap;
