International Man: So-called “Woke” culture and political correctness have spread like wildfire across the West.
What do you think are the ramifications of this?
Chris MacIntosh: The “woke culture” is simply Marxism writ large.
It’s been with us for at least two generations, educating our children in the West with neo-Marxist ideologies. They’ve simply become more and more egregious. It started with gender studies and feminism studies.
We’re at the point now where we’re having debates around whether two plus two should equal four—because it’s a white supremacist ideal.
It’s the notion that science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, also known as STEM, is a white, male patriarchal construct that should be abolished.
I don’t know about you, but when I drive across a bridge or walk into a building, I’d like to know that mathematics and science have played a part in constructing that.
I don’t want to drive across a bridge built by somebody who won’t acknowledge that two plus two equals four.
So, what are the ramifications? Where do I start?
I had a conversation many years ago, which only came back into my consciousness three or four years ago. I was still about 20 years old at the time. I met a gentleman who said something about how to figure out where our country is going.
He was an asset manager who I just bumped into while doing a hike up Table Mountain.
He said, “If you watch what’s taking place in the universities, if there’s a very strong zeitgeist in one way or the other, watch that. Whatever that zeitgeist is, you’re going to find that, within five to ten years, in the country.”
The reason is that the leaders of the country—the CEOs, the people in management, in politics, in the courts, all come from those universities. If you look at what has been transpiring in the West over the last decade at least, in the universities—it is frightening.
It’s not a surprise now that we find these people are in positions of power. They’re instituting their vision of how the world should work. Their ideology—their zeitgeist—is Marxism. So, this woke culture is just Marxism.
Unfortunately, it is now in the DNA of the West.
As much as I want to believe that we could eliminate that, it starts with the universities and being able to educate a whole new class of people correctly.
When I say correctly, I mean, principles that adhere to civil liberties and the like.
These people don’t believe that at all. So, we’re seeing it now coming into the political landscape and the legal landscape. It’s not good.
The ramifications are that the West is committing suicide.
International Man: What does this cultural shift mean for anyone with savings and wealth?
Chris MacIntosh: If you realize that the Bolsheviks are coming—which they are—realize that they will come after anybody with any wealth.
Because there is this desire to create an equal society, what they call equity, which is really just is a redistribution of wealth. There’s one thing, having the ability to see what sectors can benefit and investing in them. But it would be a tragedy to do that only to find that the Bolsheviks come and take it away from you.
That’s another whole different topic. How any person deals with that is particular to their own set of circumstances.
The first step is to realize that they will come for your savings and your wealth.
Firstly, the savings will be taken away via an inflationary impact. That’s fine; you can protect yourself against that. But certainly, they’re going to come after anybody that is deemed to not be with the revolution.
“We’re all in this together.”
Remember?
That’s what we’re seeing now with COVID, how we’re all in this together. Well, the hell we are.
Let’s look at it like this.
How many lockdowns would we have globally if every politician that instituted those lockdowns simultaneously lost all of their income?
This is essentially what they’ve forced many millions of people globally to do. They’ve forced them to lose their income.
But politicians don’t lose their income. They still earn their big fat salaries, their perks, and their travel allowances.
Yet they stand there saying, “We’re all in this together.” We’ve seen this playbook before. It is now coming down the train tracks at breathtaking speed. And you needed to prepare yesterday.
Editor’s Note: Disturbing economic, political, and social trends are already in motion and now accelerating at breathtaking speed. Most troubling of all, they cannot be stopped.
The risks that lie ahead are too big and dangerous to ignore. That’s why contrarian money manager Chris Macintosh just released the most critical report on these trends, What Happens Next. This free special report explains precisely what’s coming down the pike and what it means for your wealth and well-being. Click here to access it now.

We need belt fed weapons…30 round mags aren’t enough. F’ng brainwashed millennial twits.
The article doesn’t say a damn thing about ‘what to do’.
Kad.
Nothing. Wait for the election and the gray man to save you or hunker down in your redoubt and shoot them as they come up the driveway.
Time to go offensive…
That was sarcasm Doc. Iv’e been trying to get us to discuss getting offensive and have been lambasted from every quarter. We keep waiting for them to organize even better at our own peril. This is a Bolshie takeover with outside support. We need to get Franco on these louts and take the initiative away from them. Waiting to be taken one county at a time is suicide.
Agreed Flea. But we need organization, like them or else we go down like F’ng kamikazes.
Doc.
I agree completely. I’ve been saying that for months. Even mentioned how they were doing it and suggested we form cell phone militias as a catchall for anything digital only to be tarred and feathered by Mygirl. Heaven forbid we organize. We get a plan or get dead singly. It doesn’t need to be complicated. It can be refined on the fly.
Fleabaggs… General Franco was one of the ‘good guys.’
Takezo.
Yes I agree. He is one of my heros. I was referring to how he handled the Commies during and after the war. He sent 100,000 troops to the Russian front to fight commies there as well. The Germans had the highest regard for them too.
And when the MS-Cons do say what to do it is usually one of the following: ‘this country needs a spiritual revival’ (yawn–not an answer), or… ‘get out the vote–spread the word’ (another non-solution because you can’t torture a conservative thought into a communist) , or… send in another check to the 700 Club. Or one of a myriad of shit-bird traditional horseshite responses that have been propelled for the last two generation.
The time is now–to stop hammering nails, stop going to Disneyland with the kids and to get out into the streets to counter these Communists, blow-by-blow and drive them back into the gutters where they belong. The time is now for action, not prayers.
Right on.
The articles never do, otherwise there wouldn’t need to be any more shitty articles.
you can call it marxism, or socialism, or facism, or New World Orderism, or stateism, or feudalism. but it is government tyranny. Political power can only be in two places–either in government or in the people.
William Blum and John Perkins identified the domination of the world by Wall Street using the CIA and US military. Douglass Valentine foresaw the progression coming to the US. Funding for Wall Street is by nefarious exploitation of the Federal Reserve. Ref…

The Creature from Jekyll Island needs to be slain
That would be treating the symptoms of disorder. Central banks were erected at the behest of corporate capitalist interests, which outfits like the LvMI, “reason”, AEI, the Cato Institute, and others were set up to defend. If we want to euthanize the Creature from JI, then first we must abolish incorporation. If successful, all insatiable go-getters will have to do business as sole proprietors or in partnerships. Stock markets for the trading of rootless capital will shrivel or disappear. Capital will be decentralized and form healthier roots, and the radical secularism cultivated by corporate capitalism will retreat. Yet to abolish incorporation, we must radically alter, or abolish, the cliques of shills at LvMI, “reason”, and so on.
Dr Steve Piezcenik (the real Jack Ryan) ” She (Hillary) had to be stopped; the Republic must be preserved ”
Trump is the hood ornament – the Generals are driving.
Obama and Hillary will be the Rosenbergs of the 21st Century.
Some street smarts about events of the past 6 months—and the past 420 years— would lead to a less flattering and more plausible hypothesis about contemporary political and social turbulence. The zeitgeist, the woke culture, is just a device of corporate capitalism, which is passing through a restructuring process to concentrate far more of its wealth, its gains, and its political power into fewer hands. The practical effect is to establish a communist system, but the ringleaders need to make it palatable to the masses. So a whitewash of humanism, environmentalism, and internationalist communism is being painted over the reorganization. Consistent with this end, corporate capitalism has greatly increased its subsidies to people who are doing a fine job of LARPing as revolutionaries. Wall Street doesn’t seem to be terribly alarmed by the situation and is mostly friendly to the Democrats, supposedly the far left party in the USA. Notice also the clear, unmistakeable, and completely predictable effect of COVID-19 hysteria on small businesses (which make markets “fragmented”).
Leadership of corporate capitalism surely doesn’t want a movement to abolish incorporation and all of its favorite tricks (e.g. ltd liability, artificial personality, virtual anonymity of ownership, and perpetual lifespan). Corporate capitalism needs socially divisive movements like “woke culture”. There are very useful for dividing society into antagonistic factions of disoriented people who are blind to the true nature of the demon. So we end up with one faction, arguably the lesser evil, which demands a merger of all commericial enterprises. Their rage and pigeonhole mindedness leave them blind to the obvious solution. Against those fools stand an army of collaborators and shills, many of whom are earnest defenders of corporate capitalist insatiability, skulduggery, and racketeering (known also by the whiny phrase “crony capitalism”).
No one has ever needed any genius to notice that internationalist communism and corporate capitalism have the same object, more or less: concentrate most wealth and political power into just a few hands. Both religions are plundering, bullying, statist rackets. This is basically the whole story of their behavior, which in the case of incorporation goes back at least 420 years. So why are people like MacIntosh, Quinn, and “International Man” barking so much about “Marxism”? The correct answer suggests itself immediately when we consider their evident materialist cravings
It’s by the way that Lew Rockwell and his crew have been huffing and puffing more than usual about “Marxism”. Many of them are papists or other Christian idolaters, however, and they’ve been doing a lot of wailing also about the antichristian behavior of corporations, for which Lew and his people have been carrying water for decades. The irony is beautiful.
