Woke: Chinese Communist Attack on America

Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, is proposing The Great Reset to replace shareholder capitalism with “stakeholder capitalism” – a merger of government and corporations. That is the definition Mussolini gave for fascism!

In the interview below, presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy explains why that’s a bad idea. A growing number of people, including Ramaswamy, are warning that a Cultural Revolution is taking place now in America like the one in China under Mao Zedong. “China Is Using Wokeism to Erode US Democracy, Author Says” is a subscription-only Epoch Times article that links to the 8/23 book by Ramaswamy Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam. The book is a NYT best-seller with 3,913 reviews and a rating of 4.7 on Amazon.

Vivek Ramaswamy: The Unholy Alliance of Big Government, Big Business, and Woke Dogma

“The biggest threat to liberty and prosperity in this country” is the “new marriage of big government and big business,” says Vivek Ramaswamy. “It is this new woke industrial complex.”

Ramaswamy is the founder of several successful companies, including Roivant Sciences…. ”It’s crony capitalism 2.0, Ramaswamy argues. And the biggest beneficiary of all is the Chinese Communist Party…. stakeholder capitalism is the philosophy that a business ought to serve not just its shareholders by pursuing profit, but also ought to serve other societal interests, including those of not only employees, but other societal stakeholders ranging from minority communities to the climate.….Once corporations become vehicles for advancing progressive agendas….they become vehicles to advance anybody’s agenda—and nobody has gotten in on that game more effectively than the Communist Party of China by becoming the strongest stakeholder of all in many of these corporations….

Nobody has really talked about the geopolitical implications of wokeism or woke capitalism…..The great policy error over the last 30 years in the United States was thinking we could use capitalism to spread democracy abroad.…in places like China….China has actually turned that model on its head. Instead of using our money to get them to be more like us, they have now used their money to get us to be more like them.….

Companies relentlessly criticize the United States for social injustice, as the woke brand of stakeholder capitalism or what we call woke capitalism does…. they also don’t say a peep about actual human rights abuses in China, such as what’s happening in Xinjiang province today where over a million Uyghurs are enslaved in concentration camps, and subjected to forced sterilization in some of the worst human rights abuses committed by a major nation since the Third Reich in Germany….What that has the effect of doing is creating a false moral equivalence between the United States and China. That actually erodes our greatest geopolitical asset of all, which is not our nuclear arsenal. It is our moral standing on the global stage.…that actually empowers China….

The Communist Party of China represents the single greatest threat to not only the United States, but to the modern liberal democracies of the West. The idea of modern liberal democracy itself…is threatened by the rise of nihilism in the avatar of China. They realized how to use the kinks in our armor ranging from wokeism, which is a culture of self-criticism in the United States to woke capitalism, where companies are able to use their corporate muscle to supercharge that wokeness while supplicating to the CCP in order to do business there…..

This is a time of effectively living in a modern Red Guard revolution in America, except instead of the Chinese Red Guard pushing the philosophy of Marxism, the new Red Guard is pushing it through all of our major institutions, from the private sector to the public, they are pushing this new philosophy of wokeism….

The biggest threat to liberty and prosperity….is this new marriage of big government and big business that is far more powerful than either one alone, because it can do what each cannot on its own….. What they really care about is now using that market power and their money to be able to exercise power that they or any other corporation in human history would not have wielded, which is actually the power to determine what is and isn’t acceptable in the bounds of discourse…..

That’s actually the real and most dangerous monopoly of all. It is not a monopoly of products. It is a monopoly of ideas…..That is a betrayal of democracy. It is a betrayal of the scientific method. It is a betrayal of the pursuit of truth itself, and that makes these companies the most powerful companies in the history of humankind…..

One way to think about woke ideology is to look at the two most murderous ideologies of the 20th century; Communism…and Nazism….If you merged the two what you get is wokeism…. But you also get it through a model of corporatism that resembles a new form of fascism that subverts democracy and effectively pervades institutional life today….

Ironically, communist China has embraced our capitalist worldview …. and have exported their modern wokeism….the Red Guard was effectively sent over here to undermine us from within….This becomes the beginning of the end of American greatness and the American empire unless we’re able to.…rediscover our …. culture of the unapologetic pursuit of excellence through our system of free enterprise, and through our democracy….

So they have something that the USSR never had, and that is our own companies and institutions in their pocket.…. Any company or institution that criticizes China, you can’t get in. But if you actually criticize or undermine the United States, they’re rolling out the red carpet…..

If our last decade was about our decade of celebrating our diversity and our differences….Now we need to move on to a decade where we revive our shared sense of who we are as a people across that diversity.
