DEI, ESG, Marxism, and What It All Means for You
(00:00.79)
D-I-E-S-G, Marxism and the death of a secular religion. Let’s hope so. I’m gonna have a little fun here. I wanna go back, 1979, I’m a Monty Python fan. And in their film, The Life of Brian, again, this is 1979, there’s a dialogue that takes place in the film. I’m not gonna explain the entire movie,
Okay, this is sent, set in Roman Empire. They’re at a Roman forum, and there’s a conversation taking place. And you’ve got characters here, one played by John Cleese, and you got Southen Jones Davis. Anyway, I’ll go through the conversations. Again, this is 1979. There are a bunch of people having a conversation. And one is, one of the characters keeps using
female pronouns in the dialogue. And you know, after a long pause, this character named Stan reveals, I wanna be a woman from now on, I want you to call me Loretta, not Stan. That’s my right as a man, Stan asserts, saying I want to have babies. It’s every man’s right to have babies if he wants them. John Cleese’s character, Reg says, Reg,
But you can’t have babies. And then Stan goes back, don’t oppress me. I’m not oppressing you, Stan, you haven’t got a womb. Where’s the fetus gonna gestate? You’re gonna keep it in a box? After Stan starts to cry, Judith chimes in with her idea. Suppose you agree that he can’t actually have babies not having a womb, which is nobody’s fault, not even the Romans, but-
that he can have the right to have babies. Good idea, Judith says Francis. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother, sister, sorry. And then Reg said, well, what’s the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can’t have babies? It’s symbolic of our struggle against oppression, explains Francis. And then Reg responds. It’s symbolic of his struggle.

against reality. And again, ESG, DEI, breaking all normal rules of the universe that apply every single time they’re tried. And again, it’s Marxist by design. It’s Marxist by design, because Marxism is about gaining power.
to implement societal change, right? Societal change. Everybody out there is being oppressed and we’re gonna deal with all of those oppressors out there. Right, right. Again, I mean, it’s nonsensical at its face because that’s what Karl Marx saw. You know, oppressors and colonial struggles everywhere.
what we have now and Andy Kessler talks about it, he had a piece about it today in the Wall Street Journal. So the uniformity of thought known as intersectionality fostered by DEI meant all oppressed people must support all others who are oppressed. And again, that kind of blew up on October 7th of what happened in Israel, right? Again, we go through all the litany of things that we’ve talked about. Talk about ESG investing. We told you.
We told you it was a farce, we told you it was a scam. You had BlackRock and Larry Fink out there selling all of these ESG funds, and not to mention the fact charging an arm and a leg for investors, but again, you know, it’s stupid as the stupid does. You wanna pay an arm and a leg for some ridiculous ETF investment fund that’s gonna underperform? Again, I mean, I can’t stop you. It’s a free country. You can do whatever dumb things you want to do, quite frankly.
And again, what it’s all about is changing society. It never it never works.
(04:36.062)
It never works. Everything that they try, everything that they put out there. It again, the free market will eventually win out. Kester talks about this, and I often talk about it as well as the that the trillions and trillions and trillions of interactions that people have on any given day, you can’t control that. That signals human wants and desires. That in essence is the economy, even though people try to get their arms around it and they try to control it. They’re not.
able to do that. So again, you’re starting to see all of this fail. All this fail. The pronouns, yep, they’re going to start going away. Everything is going to start to, again, it’s slowly but surely becoming the death of a secular religion. When it’s interesting in itself, we’re talking about Marxism. It was actually the 100 year anniversary of Vladimir Lenin’s death yesterday.
And this is something that Lenin said in a speech on October 2, 1920. Morality was entirely subordinated to the class struggle. And action was right, not in light of extra human concepts, but only if it destroyed the old society and helped to build a new communist society.
February 17th, Lenin’s party, the Bolsheviks, they only had 24,000 members and they were able to win. Take over country of 100 million because they were very concentrated in power and they had no trouble killing anyone. It was their moral obligation. Isaac Steinberg, a justice minister in the first revolutionary government, objected to Lenin for summary executions.
He sarcastically asked Lenin, why bother with the Commissariat of Justice? Let’s call it the Commissariat for Social Extermination. Lenin’s face lit up. And he said, that’s exactly what it should be, but we can’t say that. And again, Marxism and again, it’s relatives, DEI, ESG, they don’t scorn for any sort of ethical,
(07:01.066)
and morality norms, anything like that. And again, it still exists today, even though we don’t have, you know, for a period of time, you had, you know, almost a third of the global population that was living under communist regimes. We don’t have that anymore, but you do have the same my way or the highway authoritarian nonsense that’s taken place. So oftentimes I talk about China. People love calling it the communist party of China, it ain’t communist. Okay, yeah, it’s got its roots
Marxism without a doubt, but it’s not their economic system by any stretch of the imagination. It’s immoral. It’s totalitarian. And there are a lot of places like this around the globe and yeah you can thanks, thank Marx for that nonsense. Anyway, Watchdog on wallstreet.com.
