The Surprising Origins of Critical Race Theory
By L.K. Samuels

Critical Race Theory (CRT) has been cited as an offshoot of Karl Marx’s theory of class struggle, which was designed to pit one class against another so as to foment worker-led revolutions. It is also widely accepted that the Marxian Frankfurt School in Germany reworked Marx’s “social conflict theory” in the 1950s by adding “race” to their long list of “oppressed” minorities. But historically, the Frankfurt School theorists were latecomers to the racial theory table. They were not the originators of Critical Race Theory. A revolutionary socialist movement had already existed decades before in Germany. These racial justice warriors sought to pit one race against another and encourage the oppressed to overthrow the oppressor. They called themselves German National Socialists.

After World War II, the Frankfurt School intellectuals and academics began to plagiarize the “racial struggle” and “victimhood” theories that had originated with Nazi theorists in the mid-1920s. It is true that the Nazi theorists, many with Marxist leanings, were less sophisticated in their racial superiority approach. But their long-term goals on racial disparity and struggle were remarkably similar.

The National Socialists, like the Marxian Frankfurt School leaders, dedicated themselves to fighting racial oppression imposed by other advantaged races. But in the case of the Nazis, they identified the “oppressed race” as the Aryan and German people and the “oppressor race” as the Jews. They believed that the Jews controlled the world as members of a wealthy and privileged race that supposedly mistreated the so-called Aryan races.

This “oppressor versus oppressed” narrative is pure classical Marxism, which had devastating effects across the annals of modern history. Such racist nonsense divides society, creating hostile tribalism and unending ethnic violence.

Of course, this racial struggle was exactly what the Nazi propagandists intended in their effort to purge certain “oppressor” races. They wanted only one race to exist in German-controlled lands. That is why Critical Race Theory is so poisonous. Its endgame almost always results in horrific final solutions to punish so-called privileged and oppressor races.

The march towards securing superiority over an oppressor race began in earnest after the Nazis nationalized most German schools in 1933. School administrators quickly inserted racist policies into newly rewritten textbooks and school policies. With the assistance of the National Socialist Teachers League, (the official Nazis teacher’s union), students were inundated with racial theories that invaded most disciplines. Nazi party officials promoted the Führer’s Volksgemeinschaft concept of equality, which included social engineering, social justice, racial tribalism, national collectivity, and social Darwinism. But their biggest mission was to implant biased ethnic-racial studies into Germany’s classrooms.

The German language did not escape this politicization of education. Language had to focus on speech patterns to provide a racial background that would subliminally implant German schoolchildren with the racial-socialist ideology of Nazism. The study of geography had to bow to a racial makeover that required Nazi ideology to be more compatible with heroism, home, and race. Amazingly, Nazi educators even found ways to link climate to race.

Not surprisingly, such old-style racism is now returning to our world, mostly voiced by progressives, the woke mob, and Black Lives Matter. Similar to the National Socialists, this orthodoxy is a hodgepodge of social justice, oppressor-versus-oppressed victimhood, and racial tribalism.

A number of present-day “anti-racist” activists are emulating the National Socialists’ pogrom policies. For instance, co-founder of Black Lives Matter in Toronto, Yusra Khogali, called for the extermination of certain races. Taking jabs at white privilege and oppressor races and gender, she mused in 2016 that she had an urge “to kill men and white folks.” Moreover, she tweeted that “white skin is subhuman.” Hitler and his Nazi horde spouted the same “subhuman” accusations against Jews, and eventually acted upon their convictions in the Holocausts.

The origins of Critical Race Theory have a dark history. Why would anyone justify racism, racial superiority, or racial inferiority in today’s world? Such inflammatory rhetoric has never led to racial or social equality. CRT must be discarded into the ashbin of history, along with any resurgence of National Socialism and its socialist-racist narratives.

Marx Critical Theory had another offshoot: Critical Pedagogy. This was the inroad for getting our children on track through liberal "education".

Paulo Freire: the pioneer of critical pedagogy

Right.

CRT is merely a subapplication of Critical Theory. CT is rooted in Karl Marx's revisionist machinations targeting capitalism in Das Kapital. A version of CT was later used by Hitler to blame all Jews for all woes (though its proponents would vigorously deny that). In the latest CRT formulation, oppressor whites (rather than capitalism or Jews) are the target. It's the same game.

That looks exactly like what the Nazis did in the German educational system.

America is not a land of systemic racism but rather a country of systemic opportunity.

The proponents of Critical Race Theory are systemically Nazi-like.

CRT must be crushed as the tragic and violent means we see used by violent organizations who target victims through THEIR OWN SYSTEMIC RACISM, BIGOTRY, and FAILURE and the conniving backhanded approaches they use.

Mao did something similar as well: called "Bitterness Recollections".

Hitler was copying Jewish ideas about racial solidarity, and applying them to the Germans.

There is communist literature I have read going back to the 1910s that explicitly says the only way to take down America is through promoting racial strife, and that is the way they will do it. It says a nation is only as strong as the weakest link that binds them together, and the racial binds in America are the weakest link that must be attacked. They have been saying this openly for 110 years and it is well known. One of the problems of living in a free open society like ours is that we have allowed them to say and do these things openly and legitimately, something we should not have. They keep attacking the weak racial link over and over, every generation, further weakening it, and it is nearly broken. That literature also says the end game is to make it so bad, that the US willingly splinters itself into 2 countries along racial grounds, something we often hear today.

You may not know WTF an analogy is.

CT is not a Nazi "analogy".
It formed the twisted basis for evils which the Nazis perpetrated on society.



"More cringe boomer Nazi analogies" .... and you certainly don't know WTF a boomer is.

CRT did not form the basis of the Nazi ideology.

Oh, and I just laugh that you conservatards get into contests with progs over who can scream “Nazi” the loudest. You’re all a bunch of idiots, but you conservatives just may be the worst, because you’ve bought in to their propaganda.

I think the OP makes a great point, Nazi's did promote racial differences as a means to political, racial, and class conflict in Germany.

Nazism and Communism are always presented as polar opposites on a spectrum (fascism/socialism). This seems like an extraordinary revision of history of unbelievable proportions. The Nazi party literally has the world "Socialist" in their name, a fact the left NEVER has provided a satisfactory explanation for in trying to say they are the "opposite" of socialists. Total, complete BS if I ever heard it, more leftist projection. The National Socialist German Workers' Party was the right wing opposite of left, yeah, ok /s

Furthermore, the Nazis acted EXACTLY like every hardcore socialist I have ever met. Therefore, I think the Nazi's may have just been the socialists of their time, you know, like they called themselves in their name and enacted socialist policies to a "T" when they had power. Every so called fascist right winger American I have ever met has been a hardworking taxpaying family oriented person with few if any genuine racial hang-ups.

OP is right, leftists are just like Nazis and, they use racial discord to promote class conflict just like the 3rd reich did. And I'm no boomer

I can read just fine, thank you.

You’ve made an asinine allegation, so I’m flippantly responding in kind.

In failing to recognize the CT vs CRT delineation, it's evident you don't understand what Critical Theory is.
